Not revisionist ... due to Cheeto-lini's incompetence in handling the pandemic, minority communities have been the hardest hit in terms of employment.
Not only that, but they are also hardest hit health-wise - due to systemic reasons he failed to solve while in office.
That's an opinion, not a fact. And it's a politicized opinion based on politicized interpretations and conclusions of statistics. In the article linked, the studies compared African Americans in the US to African Americans in other countries. Let that one sink in a bit. The only reason to compare African Americans in other countries, which isn't even a thing, to African Americans is to politicize the conclusions.
The article states that black infections and deaths in other countries is comparable to those of genuine American African Americans, which means its due to something well beyond any failure to address any systemic issues in America.
The reality is there is a number of factors that affect brown and black people (including African Americans) in both the US and worldwide. In America we know that black and brown people tend to wear masks and even socially distance at lower percentages than white populations.
We also know that both the American political system itself and the Healthcare system has a large and very different impact on covid than in other democracies. Clearly our systems weren't as good as other countries when hit with covid. And you can't blame Trump for either our political or Healthcare system, and there's nothing he could have done to make either so appreciably different that would have had any effect on covid.
Generally speaking, the higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA you have, the more likely you are to be hit with severe reactions to covid. Blacks have the fewest percentage of DNA, but the variants they do have tend to be the worse for covid. I guess that's Trump's fault.
In America a higher percentage of blacks than whites are on Welfare, which is the reason for the larger percentage of blacks having more comorbidities such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes. The cheap food you can buy with food stamps tends to be the worse for your health.
Then there's the biological and genetic factors at play. We know, unambiguously, that certain variants of Neanderthal DNA are strongly associated with how hard you are hit with covid. But you can't politicize that little nugget, so no one wants to talk about it. While Neanderthal DNA is far lower in blacks than other populations, there are two specific variant halotypes that are found disproportionately in blacks that are not found in significant numbers even in Southeast Asia, where populations have as much as 20% Neanderthal DNA. These two halotypes affect how the lungs initially respond to covid invasion.
The genetic halotypes are not a predictor, but there is a strong, direct association between them and severe covid. Some people with these halotypes don't have any severe reaction at all to covid. That speaks more to just how complicated the variables are, and mocks the notion that they can all be condensed down to purely or even mostly socioeconomic conditions, much less to that of "system racism" (which is still not yet proven to be a thing, certainly on the scale of those who tout it as being the root cause of everything from thrown in jail to the heartbreak of psoriasis).
No leader of any country made the right decisions that resulted in controlling the pandemic. You can't control a pandemic. That's why it's called a pandemic. We don't even know enough about it today to make the right calls. We knew slightly less about it a year ago. There were decisions made that were very good in helping, and some that turned out to be really bad, but none of them were made with any real knowledge or competency, or ill intent.
When people say the Orange Man didn't do it right, they still, right now, today, cannot give specific,
credible examples of what he did wrong and should have done differently that would have controlled, or made any difference at all in the pandemic. The reason they can't is because nobody knows. The experts can't even agree on something as simple as masks. Nobody knows.
