... when the outbreak began?

How does he define "doing business"?

What changed between 2023 and 2025? Was there a significant uptick in global business?

What about between 1991 & 1993? Was there significantly less global business during those years when reported measles cases dropped from 27K to 300?

I don't think the facts back up his assertion.

Not that the current Regime has much use for facts when making decisions or speeches.
