Peter Navarro may have done more than any other official in the Trump administration to help develop the coronavirus vaccine, so it’s ironic — though not exactly surprising — that he is not vaccinated.
The pandemic, though, was slightly more consequential than your average West Wing intrigue, leading Navarro to all-too-frequently undermine his own efforts to marshal a response to meet the moment. The tension remains evident today. Despite lacking either medical training or degree, Navarro freely makes medical pronouncements.
Far more compelling — if no less fraught — are the questions Navarro has been asking about the origins of the coronavirus. He doesn’t have proof and neither does anyone else, but the idea has steadily moved from the conspiratorial fringe to receiving serious consideration by the upper ranks of the Biden administration.
He describes, in overheated but definitely not boring prose, sitting at an East Wing event on Jan. 15, 2020, “consumed by an almost primordial fear,” having just caught news of “a mysterious virus rampaging” through Wuhan. Combative rhetoric about China was de rigueur during the Trump administration, in particular after it became clear that the coronavirus had originated there; it persisted even after Asian American leaders reported a rise in hate attacks. Biden has tried to keep China as a geopolitical foe without stoking xenophobia with unnecessarily combative rhetoric.
