2- We'd be managing it better because Scott Atlas would be leading the response + Fauci would be fired, but nothing was going to make these vaccines stop transmission.
Overall, with COVID we'd probably be fairly close to where we are now, because virus is gonna virus.
3- We wouldn't have the dumb vaccine mandates, but the Left / Media would be screaming that POTUS isn't doing enough & it would be hard to counter politically with "virus is gonna virus".
4- Also, the Media would have cared about all the bad vaccine side effects + all the breakthrough cases. The entire vaccine narrative would be different, and much more negative.
5- We might have more action on virus origins, but that would lead back to the U.S. (Fauci and gang), so getting straight answers out of the Swamp might be impossible.
6- Yes, the economy would be better because we wouldn't have wrecked the oil industry or done that dumb spending bill in January, but people would be taking the economy for granted (like they did before Brandon).
7- The fundamental COVID problem is no POTUS can "control" this virus with magic policy from the White House.
That Biden thought he could, & said he could, will drag down his entire presidency. And it would have drug down Trump's 2nd term.
8- So in a weird way, it may have been a gift to Trump that he didn't win. How Trump and/or the Republicans use that to their advantage remains to be seen.
