OPINION:
For two years now, we have been immersed in a seemingly endless health crisis — and our political leaders have decided against taking strong measures to turn the page. A question comes to mind: Does the U.S. still lead the free world?
Let’s be honest — no one truly expected the coming to power of Joe Biden. The current president’s lack of charisma and ambition did not generate the enthusiasm of the masses, who were forced to vote against the prosperity of a president who came to power by accident. However, many people thought his election would mark a break with the isolationist era of President Donald Trump, and they believed they were opting for a rapprochement with our allied countries. They were not.
As we are engulfed in a global health crisis, America has failed to take strong policy action. Our Global Health Security Agenda, established in 2014 with ambitions to strengthen partner countries’ health systems and prevent infectious diseases, has not been seen anywhere in the past two years. The absence of leadership from the United States during the coronavirus pandemic is just one more demonstration of a U.S. administration’s toothlessness in dealing with a major crisis.
Two presidents and one observation: voting is useless.
