    It’s thus true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer’s position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time.

    I remember hearing it on the news at the time.

    I am not finding it, but the USA hada vaccine mass production facility on standby for years that Trump scuttled.

      I didn’t say it was odd, I said it was dumb. He has a shining example from his first time in office of why we need this stuff, and he is ignoring it. He is a grade A moron if he thinks these things are unnecessary.
