Goal 1: Restore trust with the American people-
Experts say on this front, the Biden administration has not made much progress, although they acknowledge how challenging a problem it is.
Goal 2: Mount a safe, effective, comprehensive vaccination campaign-
His administration made huge strides in expanding vaccine supply and access, experts say.
Goal 3: Mitigate spread through expanding masking, testing, treatment, data, workforce and clear public health standards-
This is an area where the administration has fallen short
Goal 4: Immediately expand emergency relief and exercise the Defense Production Act-
The president scored an early win signing the American Rescue Plan into law-
“this administration in particular has been quite skillful with respect to its use of the DPA.”-
Still, “the main message here is too little, too late on masks and testing,”
From Turner’s perspective, the current supply problems have less to do with underutilized federal authority and more to do with the virus itself
Goal 5: Safely reopen schools, businesses and travel, while protecting workers-
Schools continue to be a contentious issue
the Supreme Court blocking the White House’s attempt to require vaccination or tests for employers with 100 or more workers.
Goal 6: Protect those most at risk and advance equity, including across racial, ethnic and rural/urban lines-
The administration has been “moderately successful” on this front, says Benjamin of the APHA.
Goal 7: Restore U.S. leadership globally and build better preparedness for future threats.-
This “is certainly an area where the administration promised big but has fallen short so far,” she adds.
He laughed at masks during his recent infection and took it off while around people. Hasnt launched a campaign for clean air, is doing nothing to increase booster rates, hasnt mentioned long covid once, isnt funding long covid treatments or clean air initiatives for schools or businesses.
He hasnt mentioned long covid. He should be doing press about long covid and how people should be avoiding reinfection still by masking and cleaning the air with air purifiers and upgraded hvacs but hes not because he wants everyone to pretend covid is over and be in the office.
That initiative is a couple million dollars for a disease thats killing and disabling millions of people that he isnt talking about at all while sending billions for weapons for genocide. Why isnt he talking about clean air, and acting like its no big deal. This should be a war time style effort to combatting the pandemic but he hasnt whispered it.
His administration has been so bad at public health messaging people are wondering “whats in the air” and shocked that “covid is still a thing”. The cdc is still putting out messaging about washing hands and they still havent put out a plan or regulations for co2 monitoring and clean air initiatives in federal buildings, hospitals, classrooms, and businesses.
He has literally enacted policy to address this. You can critique that it’s not enough, but you cannot say he hasn’t done anything.
If verbally saying something is what does it for you:
““We are bringing agencies together to make sure Americans with long Covid, who have a disability, have access to the rights and resources that are due under disability law,” Biden said during his remarks.”
Bullshit.
A year in, experts assess Biden’s hits and misses on handling the pandemic:
Goal 1: Restore trust with the American people- Experts say on this front, the Biden administration has not made much progress, although they acknowledge how challenging a problem it is.

You can criticize the Biden COVID response, which seems to be a mixed bag. But you absolutely cannot say he’s done nothing. And he’s certainly moved us in the right direction, unlike Trump who was the single largest driver of coronavirus misinformation.
He laughed at masks during his recent infection and took it off while around people. Hasnt launched a campaign for clean air, is doing nothing to increase booster rates, hasnt mentioned long covid once, isnt funding long covid treatments or clean air initiatives for schools or businesses.
It was his wife who was infected, not him, and he tested negative. Not good, but not the grim picture you’re trying to paint.
Biden admin allocated $1 Billion for COVID vaccine trials this year.
“President Biden issued a Presidential Memorandum directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to coordinate a new effort across the federal government to develop and issue the first-ever interagency national research action plan on Long COVID.”
He hasnt mentioned long covid. He should be doing press about long covid and how people should be avoiding reinfection still by masking and cleaning the air with air purifiers and upgraded hvacs but hes not because he wants everyone to pretend covid is over and be in the office.

I imagine his speech wasn’t whispered.
