Congress’s epic pandemic funding failure
The PREVENT Pandemics Act is a good bill. It isn’t enough to prevent pandemics.
By Dylan Matthews on March 22, 2022 9:20
Without additional money, uninsured Americans will stop being able to get free tests and treatments for Covid-19 after March 22, and won’t be able to get free vaccinations through the federal Uninsured Program after April 5. The White House says it won’t be able to buy additional antiviral pills or new monoclonal antibody treatments for people with Covid, or to fund surveillance that could catch future waves of the virus.
The administration wants $22 billion; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tried to pass $15 billion only to face a rebellion from both Republicans and Democrats angry that the money would come out of the Biden stimulus plan’s funds for state governments. If this stalemate holds, the federal effort to halt the virus could effectively be over, even though the pandemic itself clearly isn’t.
That would be a disaster. Equally disastrous, though, is that Congress is simultaneously refusing to invest heavily in preventing the next pandemic.
KEY POINTS
Bill Gates told CNBC Friday that the risks of severe disease from Covid-19 have "dramatically reduced" but another pandemic is all but certain.
Speaking at Germany's annual Munich Security Conference, Gates said that a potential new pandemic would likely stem from a different pathogen.
Advances in medical technology could cut vaccine production times to six months, Gates added
