"Designing an Independent Public Health Agency"

It’s easy to blame Donald Trump for the entirety of the U.S. government’s chaotic and ineffective response to the Covid-19 pandem-ic  in  2020  and  early  2021.  He  is  indeed  responsible  for  downplay-ing  the  risk  posed  by  the  virus,  delaying  the  federal  government’s  response, and making reckless-ly  false  claims  about  Covid-19  therapies.  The  most  striking  at-tacks  were  against  institutions.  Before the pandemic, the Trump administration eliminated an im-portant biosecurity-related role on the National Security Council and ousted the leader of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development  Authority.
