Trump clearly is fascist (and so is Bolsonaro, for the sake of argument), but that’s just two samples. Whereas e.g. france got rid of that Napoleon dude (you know who I mean) in favor of Macron.
The pandemic got exacerbated in the US because of Trump’s dumbfuck negationist policies, but even countries with far tougher positions suffered pretty bad cases of COVID.
The CDC teams Trump shut down were designed to find new pathogens and stop them before they became pandemics. They might have prevented it from ever even leaving China and therefore saved the entire world from it, if they hadn’t been dismissed.
The timing is wrong. The pandemic happened, at least in part, because fascism was already here before it started.

I was making a much more narrow argument that the pandemic might have been averted entirely if not for the specific Trump policy I linked.
Possibly. Hard to tell how much time that would have bought.
