On July 13, U.S. President Trump reposted a tweet on social media saying "Everyone is lying". (Source: Twitter)
local time on July 13, U.S. President Trump reposted a tweet from a conservative media person on social media. This tweet claimed to include the CDC, the media, and the Democratic Party. The vast majority of people, including medical professionals, lie about the epidemic. The US political news website Politico analyzed that when Trump and Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, were arguing over whether to start school, the reposting of such remarks was obviously to discredit Fauci.
In the past few days, White House politicians have slandered and slandered Fauci news that has firmly occupied the headlines of major American media. When the United States is deeply trapped in the "black hole" of the epidemic, the White House politicians are not thinking about how to solve the epidemic problem, but are busy solving the "problems."
has served six US presidents and experienced the fight against AIDS, Zika virus, H1N1 influenza, and Ebola. Fauci is the "anti-epidemic captain" in the hearts of Americans and a White House politician. The "nail in the eye". When Trump could not wait to announce to the media that he was close to the launch of the new crown vaccine, Fauci said that the large-scale application of the vaccine is likely to take "a year to one and a half years"; when the White House insisted that the new crown test kits are adequate, Fauci frankly said " The current testing capabilities of the United States are not yet able to meet the demand.” When Trump was busy pushing forward the “restart” plan, Blessings repeatedly warned of the huge risk of a rebound of the epidemic caused by restarting the economy too quickly; when Trump declared that “99% of the virus is free Fauci once again told the truth, "this is clearly not the case"...
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in the United States, the "clash" between the White House and Fauci has continued. In the eyes of White House politicians, Fauci’s public opposition to Trump’s remarks “is not in the president’s best interests”. Naturally, the American "anti-epidemic captain" who always tells the truth has become the best candidate to be excluded and suppressed by the White House politicians. As early as April, Trump retweeted a tweet to "fire Fauci", which caused an uproar in American public opinion. The British "Financial Times" reported on July 10 local time that Fauci had "no chance to report to the President for more than two months." CNN quoted a statement from a White House official on July 11, saying that it was "concerned about the number of times that Dr. Fauci made some mistakes." It can be seen from this that White House's "handling" Fauci approach has been upgraded from a "marginalization" strategy to a "smearing dishonesty" action.
Fauci’s experience of being suppressed by the White House reflects the American anti-epidemic logic in which political logic takes precedence over scientific logic. There is no antagonism between politics and science. As long as science is respected, politics will provide the greatest resources and strongest support for the successful fight against the epidemic. However, it is regrettable that the White House has turned the two into a tense rivalry. What the White House needs are bureaucrats who obey political arrangements and keep "quiet", not experts who "reverse the tune" and "expose the truth."
In addition to the epidemic prevention experts left out by the White House, some health officials have also resigned under pressure: According to the National Association of Municipal and County Health Officers (NACCHO), as of June, at least 24 public health officials have resigned, including four states Minister of Public Health. In the face of the first wave of the epidemic that has not yet passed, the White House and some Republican-ruling states ignored the warnings of epidemic prevention experts and blindly restarted the economy and forced schools to resume classes. This led to a rapid rebound of the epidemic in the United States. It can be expected that before the general election, if the epidemic situation in the United States continues to worsen, epidemic prevention experts and public health officials will face more attacks from the White House and conservatives.
The political manipulation of American politicians has made the United States a "poor student" in response to the new crown epidemic. According to the latest statistics of the new crown epidemic released by Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 9:00 on July 14th, Beijing time, a total of 3,479,365 confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in the United States, a total of 138,247 deaths, and three new confirmed cases for three consecutive days There are more than 60,000 people; the number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in 17 states in the United States has shown an increasing trend, and the number of new coronary pneumonia patients hospitalized in 12 states has reached a record high. As the world’s most developed and mature country in medical technology, the United States has responded to the epidemicIt's sighing to be so affectionate.
It is precisely because the White House puts political logic before scientific logic that "anti-intellectual" and "anti-science" words and deeds prevail in the United States, making the United States the hardest hit by the global epidemic, and more and more American people Pay the price of life for it. Politicians have the skills to make scientists shut up; but viruses are not political, and they are not afraid of intimidation at all. No matter how much American politicians play the trick, it will not solve the spread of the epidemic. (Chen Yang Nie Shuyi)
