He was hired to take revenge on the medical industry because Covid embarrassed Trump and probably caused him to lose the election.

I was so worried that covid would be the ultimate excuse for him to rally people over his failing policies and crashing economy (we were heading to depression / crash before covid!) Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.

Well you see he thought people in "blue cities" would be the ones to die and was 100% ok with that.

Which is crazy because for any sane president, covid amounted to serving up the election on a silver platter.

"Follow the guidance of the scientists and we'll all get through this together." would have gotten him north of 65% of the total votes, and probably near the Reagan/Mondale level of electoral college victory.

Yup. He was hired to take orders, not do good.
