Pence's refusal to put public health infrastructure in place in the first place and then waiting months to act after an outbreak was first identified allowed 215 people to contract HIV when it could have been limited to a fraction as many.
So... placing an ideologue with a proven track record of botching a response to a disease outbreak in charge of handling a global pandemic? Requiring scientists and experts to clear any statements with Pence before communicating them to the public?
Does it even matter anymore?
The Trump administration seems to be dealing with COVID-19 more as a PR issue than a public health one. Like always, Trump is more interested in his approval ratings than the well-being of the American people.
This time around, mistakes will result in people needlessly dying. Yes, it does still matter, and we need an administration that acts like it does.
