He re-assigned Tim Ziemer and pressured Tom Bossert to resign, both of whom had pandemic response under their umbrella in their respective roles.

I will give you that.

And they both left with Jon Bolton’s restructuring.

We would benefit from both of them.

As for your budgetary argument, you are flatout wrong.

Here is the US’s budgetary allocation to its global health initiative.

It was never meant to be long term.

The average funding for the US global health initiative has been anywhere from $300-500 million on average.

The $1 billion was from an emergency fund.

If you want to argue that we should continue emergency funding in perpetuity, go right ahead, but that is the definition of hindsight.
