Correction: The online version of the editor’s note with this letter originally incorrectly referred to former National Security Adviser John Bolton. The note has been corrected.
The White House dismantled the federal pandemic task force and waffled in its leadership to respond to COVID-19.
Is it any surprise that the U.S. has a disproportionately high death rate?
Poor leadership at the top has also led to many instabilities for businesses and the environment alike.
Editor’s note: In 2018, then-National Security Adviser John Bolton disbanded the National Security Council’s Global Health Security and Biodefense unit. Several of its members joined other NSC offices. The White House currently has a COVID-19 response task force.
