Biden's Virus Response Mimics Trump's, Adds Bureaucracy

President Joe Biden campaigned on a promise to turn the tide of the CCP virus pandemic, telling Americans that he had a superior plan to the one that was being executed by the administration of President Donald Trump.

While some of Biden's ideas are truly novel, including his vision for a centralized national contact-tracing workforce through the establishment of the U.S. Public Health Job Corps, the plan largely mirrors what had been set in motion by Trump, plus the addition of several layers of bureaucracy and the infusion of the quasi-Marxist "Equity" agenda into every aspect of the pandemic response.

While Trump streamlined the coordination of the response through the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Biden's executive orders erect a federal bureaucracy tasked with accomplishing the same work.

Biden also extended the travel bans that Trump had imposed on most of Europe and Brazil.

The executive order, which establishes the management structure of Biden's response team, created the position of the COVID-19 response coordinator, a role that Trump had assigned to Vice President Mike Pence.

Zients is responsible for convening "Principals from relevant agencies," which appears to be another way of saying that Biden will carry on, under a different name, the White House Coronavirus Task Force meetings that Trump initiated almost a year ago.

On Inauguration Day, more than 1.9 million vaccines had been administered in the United States, according to the CDC. At that rate, the Biden administration could reach its goal in half the time without changing anything about the distribution strategy set up by Trump as part of Operation Warp Speed.
