There's no mechanism in which widespread public health resources are brought to bear to combat a disease epidemic just because a POTUS says some drug is a WMD.

If he'd declared COVID was a WMD back in 2020, what *more* would have suddenly happened to combat the disease that was not already happening as a result? Nothing, that's what.

This is an excuse for extra-judicial murder of brown foreigners and to justify war.
