Kamala, along with several other Democrat politicians and other left-leaning
talk show hosts, did indeed question the COVID vaccine campaign while Trump was
still President.  With some of them, if you just read what they said without
knowing who said it, you'd assume it was a MAGA supporter.

He did not suggest that people ingest bleach.  He pointed out that bleach was
being used to kill the virus on surfaces and lamented that it was too bad that
there was not something like it that could kill the virus inside people.  While
many things might be his fault, people being so stupid that they actually drank
bleach is not one of them. 

I take the fact that people did so as a sign that our education system is
failing and has been doing so for many years.

BTW, long before he supposedly told people to drink bleach, there was a social
media "theory" about drinking bleach and, IIRC, there was even some company
marketing a "miracle cure" drink that at least in part contained bleach.
Because I was aware of this, I question how many drank it and died specifically
because they *thought* Trump told them to, and how many were sucked in by some
other scam.

He was not the only one to do this, either.  Pelosi, DeBlasio, Fauci (who
should have known better!), and several others in authority at different times
downplayed the virus.  Fauci was given a pass by many because he supposedly did
so with good intentions, but he did so none the less.  Others did so with, and
without, good intentions.
