White House picks Kennedy deputy Jim O’Neill to replace fired CDC chief

Here's the part that I find absolutely perplexing (Not from the government, those guys are fucked, but from the voters): The people that voted for this are the same people that said COVID was a virus manufactured by China. If that was true, wouldn't that mean that they could do it again? Like, we've literally left ourselves defenseless in the event of actual biological warfare. Do they have the memory of a gold fish or is it just not a hoax anymore?
