The two presidents drove out 10,000 Cuban doctors and nurses. They defunded the region’s leading health agency. They wrongly pushed hydroxychloroquine as a cure.
One more infuriating revelation of @realDonaldTrump’s incompetence AND callous recklessness that has killed 1000s in Brazil & across South America.
Extraordinary reporting by @NYTimes @ddknyt David Kirkpatrick & José María León Cabrera
My God, this story. Trump actively exported his COVID incompetence to Latin America, where he and Bolsonaro crippled the continent’s response, causing who knows how many unnecessary deaths. The man is just a calamity of corruption and ineptitude.

Populism in action: “Mr. Trump and Mr. Bolsonaro drove 10,000 Cuban doctors and nurses out of impoverished areas of Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia and El Salvador. Many left without being replaced only months before the pandemic arrived.”
Trump's anti-science, ideological response to #COVID19 is not only responsible for millions of excess illnesses and tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the US. It's also caused massive suffering & death in Latin America. Bolsonaro gets the assist.
“#Trump and Mr. Bolsonaro drove 10,000 Cuban doctors and nurses out of impoverished areas of Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia and El Salvador. Many left without being replaced only months before the pandemic arrived.”
“In their zeal to get rid of the Cuban doctors, the Trump administration has punished every country in the hemisphere, and without question that has meant more Covid cases, and more Covid deaths.It is outrageous.” nyti.ms/2HEQTUQ
