Dr. Leana Wen says for bird flu, "we should have learned our lesson from COVID" in testing

13. Well the point was

that when COVID was raging, the medical community (including leading virologists) DEMANDED more testing and communications about measures for guarding against that virus. And all of that was met with the depiction in the editorial cartoon - "No masks! "No mandates!" - basically a temper tantrum that accompanied a complete rejection of and pushback against "any government demands" for steps to protect the public health.

There were lawsuits galore and a lack (and/or misappropriation) of funding to obtain PPE, as well as properly fund the development of vaccines and rapid tests until Democrats took over after the 2020 election, and people like Dr. Fauci could finally breathe free and bat away the myriad of wacky and woo "solutions".

So this doctor is basically "lecturing" into a void.

Yes, there are many millions who would abide but their voices are drowned out by the contrarians - and especially now that the GOP is putting forth someone like RFK Jr to head up HHS (which overseas CDC, NIH, and FDA).
