We have outstanding scientists working in vaccine development and on therapeutics. One thing we've heard from them is how slow the government has been to get behind some of these vaccines.
You suggested that the vaccine task force has played a big role in this, but they didn't actually come into play until quite late in the game. Why wasn't it put into place earlier? Should we not have looked at internal vaccine development, and funding vaccine development, earlier in the game and in a more substantive way rather than the trickle of capital they received?
