Meghan McCain took a swipe at President Joe Biden and his administration its handling of the Covid pandemic and shared her own struggles with the virus in an opinion piece for The Daily Mail.

McCain expressed frustration because she had a difficult time finding available covid tests at pharmacies and wanted to know why it is still so difficult to have “readily available” testing and treatment options as the pandemic drags into the third year, The Hill reports.

She did acknowledge that it is “easy for the media — rightfully — blame Trump for the bungling of the early Covid-19 response” but then jumped on Biden, adding “his feckless, moronic, isolated Titanic of an administration gets the blame now.”

The former co-host of The View also mentioned Biden’scampaign pledge — where he said “I will end this. I will shut down the virus, not the country.”

“I didn’t vote for the man (or Trump) but I had higher hopes for a better preparedness for the country and the fight to at least mitigate Covid more than a year into the Biden administration.”

McCain added that she and her husband are both fully vaccinated but noted her symptoms weren’t mild and said she still worries about “the unknown long-term side-effects” that may still come.

In her op-ed, she writes that covid infection “was so horrible it made me doubt if America will ever recover from this pandemic.”

This is one of the few times I’ll ever agree with her. I believe this new plague will always be with us. But I hope people remember Biden and his administration are struggling to catch up to all the damage left in Trump’s wake. The science journal Nature noted in October 2020 Trump did so much damage it may take science decades to recover.

“Trump’s actions — and those of his staff and supporters — should come as no surprise. Over the past eight months, the president of the United States has lied about the dangers posed by the coronavirus and undermined efforst to contain it;he even admitted in an interview to purposefully misrepresenting the viral threat early in the pandemic” writes Jeff Tollefson, a correspondent for Nature. “Trump has belittled masks and social-distancing requirements while encouraging people to protest lockdown rules aimed at stopping disease transmission. His administration has undermined, suppressed, and censored government scientists working to studying the virus and reduce its harm. And his appointees have made political tools out of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) , ordering the agencies to put out inaccurate information, issue ill-advised health guidance, and tout unproven and potentially harmful treatments for Covid-19.”

Tollefson also notes:

“This is not just ineptitude, it’s sabotage,” says Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University in New York City, who has modelled the evolution of the pandemic and how earlier interventions might have saved lives in the United States. “He has sabotaged efforts to keep people safe.”

Far too many people who still hang on Trump’s every word are continuing the damage. Just look up “Angry Karens” on Google and you’ll find scores of Trump supporters screaming about wearing masks, or that the virus is some sort of “hoax.” This is what the administration is up against.

It’s understandable that McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is discouraged by all this. She writes that she suffered from post-COVID-19 depression and anxiety and added “I can’t fathom how people without support, resources, and international columns to tell their story feel.”

McCain was a frequent critic of the Biden administration while she was still appearing on The View added that as she struggled to find tests she wondered “whether the last days of American greatness were finally upon us.”

But then she took a swipe at progressives, writing that she refuses to give in to the “left’s propaganda” that “America’s greatest days are behind her.”

McCain also suggested the U.S. needs an “immediate shift away from whatever depression this administration is continuing to let the country experience.”

She may have a point, I don’t know. I’m not an expert on economic matters within the U.S. But then neither is she. The Center for American Progress paints a fairly rosy picture that shows a burst of economic recovery since Biden took office.

So perhaps McCain should do her research before she accidentally embarrasses herself in a major (if conservative) British newspaper again.
