A Pandemic of Misinformation

First, all 50 states independently directed and implemented their own pandemic policies.

No policy on any of these issues was set by the federal government, except those involving federal property and employees.

Third, the federal government's role in the pandemic has been grossly mischaracterized by the media and their Democratic allies.

Federal financial support and directives enabled the development of a massive, state-of-the-art testing capacity and produced billions of dollars of personal protective equipment.

The federal government also increased the protection of the elderly during late summer and fall.

The federal government also expedited development and delivery of lifesaving drugs, such as novel antibody treatments that reduce hospitalizations of high-risk elderly by more than 70%. According to HHS, more than 200,000 doses of these monoclonal-antibody drugs have been delivered to hospitals in all 50 states.

Under Operation Warp Speed, the federal government took nearly all the risk away from private pharmaceutical companies and delivered highly effective vaccines, hitting all promised timelines.
