Considering all possible evidence, Trump's public health agenda could kill thousands of Americans.
Following the various dire scenarios presented in this stack to their logical conclusion, one would likely end up somewhere close to the following fictional situation, by NYU bioethicist Art Caplan:
When two young black men were shot outside their home in Oklahoma after a mob confronted local police and national guardsmen Trump issued a statement that ‘these people would either obey lawful orders or they would be jailed’. When the CDC pointed out that sending infected or exposed people to jail would only serve to boost the epidemic he ordered detention-style camps built in every state. Many state authorities simply refused. The media had long ago given up any pretense of public health education in favor of covering the political battle between Trump, recalcitrant governors in many states, his own CDC amidst catcalls from the international community.
