Scientific American says Trump was repeatedly warned for weeks about the disastrous attitude of COVID-19. Trump knew COVID-19 was not simply like the flu, lied about testing resources available to Americans, and refused funding to relief efforts. The publication also ripped on Trump and Pence’s mask policy.
“At every stage, Trump has rejected the unmistakable lesson that controlling the disease, not downplaying it, is the path to economic reopening and recovery,” said the statement.
The publication stated that Joe Biden, the former Vice-President, and longstanding politician, has better plans for America.
Although the major publication has never made a White-House endorsement before, major names on the Editorial Board like Tayna Lewis, Associate Health and Medicine Editor, and Editor-in-Chief Laura Helmouth stayed quiet on Twitter, both retweeted the article with apolitical statements copied from the initial post.
