Hi. 37 out of 47 pandemic centers were closed. Study of coronavirus had been turned down for funding. Also, see a book called “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis.

The ONLY thing I have ever “clearly supported” is health policy completely independent of undue pharmaceutical company influence. Hardly “anti-science” to call for further scientific review. Opioid crisis makes clear the need for greater govt oversight & skepticism re Big Pharma

Started in the 1980’s with a well-funded effort to convince people all govt action on their behalf is “bad.” Tragic.

Absolutely it’s the politicians - including the current administration - which has reduced investment in preparedness, including related science and manufacturing. That’s their job!

People with corona symptoms having to go back to work - many who handle our food btw- because we have no federally mandated sick leave. Nor do we have adequate preparedness. This is what happens when private short term profit is placed before public investment in the common good.

This book explains why something like a coronavirus comes around and we're so unprepared. It's about how the government has been starved of some of its most vital elements by the very people who are leading it. Information is power and this book informs. barnesandnoble.com/w/the-fif…

There’s a lot of talk about healing America now. But you can’t heal a country if you refuse to name its wounds. Someone who refuses to name them is not the one who can heal them.
