MAGA World Finds Its Coronavirus Scapegoats

POLITICO - By TINA NGUYEN

Vocal Trump supporters have chosen who to blame: the World Health Organization, Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The through line is that each represents an element of the global and bureaucratic elite that Trump’s more hardline backers blame for overhyping the virus, forcing economically ruinous fixes and dictating medical cures that, they argue, will ultimately financially benefit the elite.

Specifically, they blame the WHO for downplaying the severity of the coronavirus and toting the Chinese government line. They blame Bill Gates, the billionaire philanthropist who is heavily funding the WHO and coronavirus research, for forcing vaccines that don’t even exist yet on the world. And they blame Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, for contradicting the president, promoting strict social-distancing guidelines and suggesting possible immunity papers to help recovered Covid-19 patients move about freely.

MY Note: Much of the speculation by Trump supporters noted in the above article could be called a fairy tale, if it were not such scary thinking. The consequences of poor leadership.    

The scene in the "B" part of this drawing is a not made up. Photo of protesters at Ohio statehouse compared to zombie movie.  See the real photo - shocking.
