There’s something sadly ironic about this headline from yesterday’s WSJ:

According to the article: The blue state governors are launching initiatives “to help states detect and respond to disease threats in light of public-health funding cuts under Trump.”

Seriously?

So the very states that cratered their economies during Covid, kept kids out of school for a year or more, and had high death rates from the pandemic are suddenly the defenders of public health?

Our landmark study on state Covid responses show that the blue states had by far the worst public health responses. New York, which is a leader in this latest scheme, had one of the worst records. Remember all the seniors who died when then-Governor Andrew Cuomo put COVID inflected patients into the nursing homes?

Now, these public health experts that so horrifically panicked during COVID are going to “develop strategies to respond to disease threats?” Who’s going to lead this crusade? Let us guess: Anthony Fauci? They might as well call in the Three Stooges.
