Damning analysis of Trump's pandemic response suggested 40% of US COVID-19 deaths could have been avoided - Business Insider Feb. 11, 2021
About 40% of US COVID-19 deaths "could have been averted," a new analysis of President Donald Trump's public-health policies found.
The report, published by the Lancet Commission, excoriated Trump's handling of the pandemic and general approach to public health. "He expedited the spread of COVID-19 in the US," the authors wrote.
"Many of the cases and deaths were avoidable," they said, adding that "instead of galvanizing the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation."
The US has recorded about 27 million COVID-19 cases and at least 471,000 deaths, though public-health experts have said those official tallies are likely undercounted.
