I'm no fan of the Trump administration or their handling of COVID, but they didn't throw doctors in jail or censor their research. Entirely different level of screwup.

We don't have the exact same things, but similar:

Dr. Deborah Birx, the Trump White House coronavirus response coordinator, said in a CBS interview released on Sunday that former President Donald Trump had been reviewing “parallel” data sets on the coronavirus pandemic from someone inside the administration.

"Rebekah Jones, the data scientist who helped create Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, has turned herself in to police, in response to an arrest warrant issued by the state. " https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/0...

They didn't throw doctors in jail. They questioned a number of doctors, and then censored them.

Not unlike Fauci and the CDC being censored and forced to send information through the DHS...

So you are right entirely different level of screwup - China Censored a single Dr, US censored the CDC.

At the state level you had that dashboard whistleblower scientist jailed.

That's not the same administration. It's perhaps an issue that could have also happened in many other states in the US, but the comment was about the Trump administration.

That's really about timing. If it was earlier in his administration then leadership within the CDC, FDA, etc wouldn't have avoided blunter disagreement with chloroquine enema man. As it is they risked a major public safety crisis to keep their jobs, perhaps on the theory that whoever he would hire to replace them would be an active safety threat.
