Yesterday The Daily Wire<\/a> posted an article about a ridiculous and slanderous claim made by Presidential candidate Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden stated, \u201cIf the president had done his job, had done his job from the beginning, all the people would still be alive. All the people\u2014I\u2019m not making this up. Just look at the data. Look at the data.\u201d This is the same Joe Biden that opposed the travel ban from China which we know did actually save lives.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

One study suggested<\/a> that a large number of people may not have died if certain measures had been implemented weeks earlier, but the study in no way stated that earlier action would have saved \u201call the people.\u201d It\u2019s worth noting<\/a> that Biden held eight rallies in March while Trump only held one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time, it\u2019s important to remember that the coronavirus spread in large part thanks to the Chinese Communist Party lying<\/a> to the world about the outbreak, trying<\/a> to cover it up, delaying<\/a> the release of critical information, and silencing<\/a> whistleblowers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even The Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler voiced his opinion on Joe Biden’s claim. (I am not supplying a link because I don’t have a subscription and can’t get to the article.) He pointed out:<\/p>\n

Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, learned on Dec. 31 of a \u201ccluster of 27 cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology reported in Wuhan, China,\u201d according to Katherine McKeogh, press secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Jan. 3, Redfield emailed George Gao, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and spoke with him the same day, she said, citing his calendar entry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next day, Redfield emailed Gao, writing: \u201cI would like to offer CDC technical experts in laboratory and epidemiology of respiratory infectious diseases to assist you and China CDC in identification of this unknown and possibly novel pathogen.\u201d Two days later, he sent another email, attaching a formal letter offering CDC support, McKeogh said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Jan. 6, the Trump administration \u201coffered to send a CDC team to China that could assist with these public health efforts,\u201d HHS Secretary Alex Azar told reporters on Jan. 28. \u201cI reiterated that offer when I spoke to China\u2019s minister of health on Monday, and it was reiterated again via the World Health Organization today. We are urging China: More cooperation and transparency are the most important steps you can take toward a more effective response.\u201d \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Jan. 31, Trump\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0travel restrictions on non-U. S. citizens traveling from China, effective Feb. 2, with 11 exceptions. U.S. citizens could still travel from China but were subject to screening and a possible 14-day quarantine. Some flights were immediately suspended, but others continued for weeks at the discretion of the airlines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I am sure you remember, Congress was too busy impeaching President Trump to be bothered with the coronavirus. Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi and Mayor de Blasio were telling people to go out and enjoy the nightlife in their respective cities. Joe Biden needs to stop blaming President Trump for China’s treachery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
