The White House Covid-19 response coordinator says the administration will ensure Americans have access to vaccines, tests and treatments.
The White House Covid-19 response coordinator says the Biden administration will continue to ensure that Americans have access to vaccines, treatments and therapeutics after the national public health emergency comes to an end this week.
Dr. Jha told reporters Tuesday that much of those concerns stemmed from vaccine and testing manufacturers scaling back their operations as funds wound down. "The American people are tired of politicians who use COVID as an excuse for more extreme inflationary spending," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said in a speech on the House floor last month, unveiling his party's plan to cut spending and address the debt ceiling."If the money was authorized to fight the pandemic, what was not spent during the pandemic should not be spent after the pandemic is over," he said.
Dr. Jha also lamented a lack of funding from Congress to more quickly shore up the administration's efforts to develop next generation vaccines and therapeutics.
