Daily death has faced thousands of American public health and political systems, why are they both failed?

On August 17, local time, Valenceki, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), acknowledged that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had poor response to the new crown epidemic. Valenzki announced that it would reform the CDC in order to take more quickly when facing public health threats. However, before that, the U.S. government had prepared to turn to the "commercialization" of epidemic prevention ...

It is accused of being forced to "change" the US CDC

According to reports of the National Broadcasting Corporation Finance Channel (CNBC) on the 17th, during the new crown epidemic, CDC has repeatedly criticized criticism because it confuses public health suggestions, released data too slowly, and the release of data speed cannot catch up with the rapid spread of viruses. At the same time, it is often frustrated by public health experts that the briefing of the epidemic also depends on data from other countries such as Britain and Israel.

The US Department of Health and Public Service (HHS) has conducted an external censorship since April, pointing out that CDC should share scientific discovery and research data more quickly during the epidemic of new crown pneumonia, and criticize the health guide of CDC for "confusing". The real -time understanding of the epidemic should also be more frank and transparent.

It is also criticized for CDC's ability to respond to monkey acne epidemic. At present, there are more than 14,000 cases of American acne diagnosis. The Washington Post pointed out on the 6th that the prevention and control of the American acne epidemic has failed. The article said that the situation of the U.S. responding to the epidemic of the monkey acne is exactly the same as the original response to the new crown pneumonia. The vaccine shortage, the long queue, and the increase in cases rapidly. The spread of public concerns, fear, and skepticism, and states are overwhelmed. Nearly three years after the first appearance of the new coronal virus, the United States still did not prepare for the next fatal epidemic.

After issuing the review report of the US Department of Health and Public Services, Valenzky, who was trapped in the storm of public opinion, acknowledged the lack of CDC in dealing with the epidemic. According to a briefing document, Valensky lists several organizational changes that CDC will conduct in the next few months to correct the mistakes in the past during the epidemic.

1. Valenceky is appointing a executive to lead a team that will implement change.

2. The CDC will also create a new executive committee to report directly to Valenki to determine the main priority of the agency that the budget determines.

3. The scientific and laboratory science departments of the agency play a key role in investigating and tracking public health threats such as the new crown and will also report to Valenki.

4. CDC is also creating a fair office to ensure that the employee team of the agency reflects the American population structure and better convey public health guidance in all groups.

Valenceki said: "My goal is to establish a new culture of public health operations in CDC, emphasizing accountability, collaboration, communication and timelyness."

The briefing document states that the core goal of reorganization is to share scientific data faster, making it easier for the public to understand the health guide.

The government is anxious to throw up the bag of 30 million people for diagnosis and treatment

When CDC was busy studying how to correct the resistance of the past two and a half years, the US government found that the money to deal with the epidemic was not enough. In April of this year, the Bayeng government asked Congress to allocate $ 10 billion to support the continuous epidemic response work, but the funding was not approved.

The "Fortune" magazine reports that the US government is planning to stop paying the new crown vaccine and treatment costs, pass the bill to the medical industry, and finally pass it to consumers -this may make it the first batch of free new crown vaccine practices One of the countries. Fox News reported on the 18th that the U.S. government has always plans to eventually transfer the new crown vaccine injection and treatment from the federal government to individuals. As the shortage of funds intensified, officials are working hard to plan this transfer process.

Ash Jehha, a coordinator of the White House New Crown Pneumonia, confirmed on the 16th that the US government has taken some measures to spend some measures in the crisis of the epidemic dissemination, and will first stop purchasing vaccines in autumn, cancel free treatment and testing.

"In the past few months, we have spent a lot of time thinking ... is the emergency stage of letting us get rid of the government's purchase of vaccines, purchasing treatment, and purchase of diagnosis and testing," Jeha sponsored at the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation Said at a event.

Jeha said: "I hope in 2023, you will see the commercialization of almost all these products. Some of them will actually start this fall, in the next few days and weeks."

According to the Wall Street Journal, the US Department of Health and Public Service (HHS) will hold a planning meeting on August 30 to convene representatives from the health care industry and state health department to discuss the commercialization of new crown treatment. HHS is responsible for strategic preparation and responding to the assistant minister, Donn O'Conner, said: "We already know that we need to enter the commercial market at some time, and we are approaching that time now."

This change has brought challenges, including how to provide injections and treatment for about 30 million people without insurance.

"Reimbursement, fair acquisition of vaccines and treatment, and distribution need to be resolved," Anne McDonald Pritchett, senior vice president of American drug research and manufacturer (PHRMA). △ Screenshot of the Wall Street Journal report

This change also indicates that Modner, Pfizer and their partners will receive billions of dollars of potential profits.

According to the "Wall Street Journal" review of the income report, as of February, a company report, including Pfizer and Modner, said that the total global sales of new crown vaccines and treatment in 2021 were at least $ 79 billion.

Facing the daily death of thousands of public health and political systems, double defeats

In addition to bringing richer profits to pharmaceutical companies, the US government's initiative will undoubtedly make those weak groups face increasingly severe situations. The New York Times published a comment article saying that half of all new crown infections may occur in 2022 -and only in July.

Popularist Michael Mina said that due to the decline in seasonality and immunity of the elderly, 1,000 people daily deaths may occur in autumn. This will cause the number of deaths in the United States this year to reach 300,000 or more.

In the event sponsored by the White House's new crown pneumonia's epidemic coordinator Ash Jaha, in the event sponsored by the US Chamber of Commerce, it urged all Americans to buy the latest enhanced needle that will be listed in early September to mid -September. He emphasized that if the "flu" is derived as expected, autumn and winter in the United States may be difficult.

For a series of operations from the US government, the people's response seemed very cold. They said on social platforms, "Let's start with a new CDC director ..." "I think the CDC has not put the health and safety of the American people first." After the go further, the CDC senior management finally understood that they are in the crisis of trust. Do not send experts who hope to create this problem to solve it. "

Earlier, an organization "The People's CDC" composed of an expert in the US public health industry and the people of various industries published an article on the British "Guardian" website on the 3rd, pointing out that the American industry and the people against the US government in the U.S. government are I was angry on "playing flowers". They call on the United States to need a new disease control center, which should give priority to people's health rather than the interests of large enterprises. Now it seems that CDC wants to re -trust the people's trust through institutional reforms, while the US government is preparing to commercialize the epidemic prevention and throw the responsibility for epidemic resistance to the market and the public itself. The continuous split "drama" once again verified the lament of "Atlantic Monthly" in May. The United States faces not only the failure of the public health system, but also the failure of the American political system.
