Biden's travel ban on Southern African countries is unscientific by any standard and racists by Democrat standards.
Back in February 2020, Joe Biden was among the Democrats in politics and Democrats in the media who labeled the travel restrictions on China imposed by President Donald Trump as xenophobic.
"We are in
the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with
science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and
fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a
global health emergency. " is what Biden tweeted
back then.
This was despite the fact that the
virus had clearly originated from China. Back then there was no understanding about Covid19. There were even rumors that the virus was deadly. There was also no
medicines or vaccine available. The cures were based on some educated guesses of experienced medical professionals.
It was made absolute sense to block
travels from China merely to contain the spread until further information about
the virus, its impact and its cure were available.
It was a common-sense move. For
instance, if you know of somebody suffering from the common cold, you may choose
not to invite him to a dinner party at your place. It is nothing to do with the
ethnicity of the guest, you merely want to keep yourself and your guests safe
from any infections.
A President of a nation has a duty to place the well-being of his citizens
before anybody else.
When President Trump expanded the
travel restrictions to others countries following the rapid spread of Covid19, Biden again lead the charge of bigotry.
“Trump
further diminished the U.S. in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel
ban. This new “African Ban,” is designed to make it harder for black and brown
people to immigrate to the United States. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let
him succeed.” is what Biden had tweeted.
Biden even connected it with Trump’s “Muslim Ban” that
was applied travel restrictions from countries Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria, and Yemen that are known sponsors and havens of terrorism. Biden seemed
to forget that this idea originated from the Obama administration.
That was then!
Following the news of the recent variant of Covid-19 last week, Biden decided to impose a travel ban on Southern African countries such as South Africa where the strand was discovered, Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Malawi
“I was briefed by my chief medical advisor, Dr.
Tony Fauci, and the members of our COVID response team, about the Omicron
variant, which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a precautionary
measure, until we have more information, I am ordering additional air travel
restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries. These new
restrictions will take effect on November 29. As we move forward, we will
continue to be guided by what the science and my medical team advise.” Biden stated
in a White House press release.
South Africa complained it is being punished instead of
applauded for their discovery of Omicron and informing the world about it.
"The world should provide support
to South Africa and Africa and not discriminate or isolate it," said Professor
Tulio de Oliveira, the Durban-based scientist leading efforts to understand the
new variant.
In a series
of tweets, de Oliveira said that South Africa has been "very
transparent with scientific information and that they did this to protect South
Africa and the world"
The Democrats in the media also knowns as the US mainstream media covered it as it was a necessary step,
there was no a smidgen of protest or concern.
We thus revise an age-old rule that a
Democrat can never be racist.
It doesn’t matter that since its
founding in 1829, the Democrat
party has fought every civil rights initiative.
The Democrats defended slavery that lead
to the Civil War and even opposed Reconstruction. The Democrats founded the Ku
Klux Klan. The Democrats imposed segregation and fought vehemently to retain
the disgraceful practice.
These are perfect instances of systemic
racism that the Democrats cannot stop talking about.
Let’s not forget Biden’s utterance on
the campaign trail.
When African-American radio host Charlamagne
tha God asked Biden about his plans to
uplift the Black community, Biden snapped back with "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then
you ain't Black."
In other words, be quiet and show unconditional loyalty to your master, don’t you dare question us.
Unsurprisingly, the Democrats
in the media didn’t react to Biden’s remarks that would have been branded
racist if it was said by a Republican.
Back to the travel ban,
Clearly, Biden and Fauci, who keep talking
about the importance of science understand very little of its principles. The is
a clear distinction between a virus originating from a country such as South
Africa and epidemiologists in a country such as South Africa discovering a new
variant of the virus that already existed before.
There was a spike in panic buying in China
at the beginning of the month, when the Chinese government urged families
to stock up on essential supplies in case of emergencies. This should give everyone
a hint about the source of the new variant.
It is unwise and unscientific of Biden and Fauci to believe they can stop the spread of this variant with merely a blanket ban on countries in southern Africa. The virus has most likely found its way across the world. If there has to be a ban, it should be applied to each and every country. It also raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Perhaps the Republicans will speak up?
