And I'm saying that implying any validity to the agenda-driven criticism is wrongheaded, possibly innocently by you, but wrongheaded just the same.

Do you or do you not give any credence to the bullshit criticism you talk about?

Do you seriously not acknowledge that the travel bans saved tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of lives, and the various mitigation procedures, many of which even I don't like, are pretty much the best middle course of action that could have been taken?

Do you seriously claim that the words and actions of the two sides here are equally good or bad to each other?

These are not rhetorical questions, but tests of whether or not you're afflicted with the disease of corona moral equivalence - and I assume you're in favor of testing.
