His comment is certainly not eloquent, but at the same time politicizing a pandemic and making it a campaign issue isn't good for anyone and completely destroys any remaining public trust when it comes to disseminating information on future pandemics.

The way the MSM completely shifted away from talking about COVID-19 during the riots and looting and not right back to it with full force doesn't really make me take any of this serious anymore.
