“Should American taxpayers from lower-income areas be subsidizing the lifestyles of the rich and famous?"

"As the Covid crisis only grows more deadly, this disgraceful proposal puts the lives of everyday Americans at even greater risk."

The Trump administration—which has denied the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and seized infants from their parents—claims it is acting in the interest of public health and children.

Addressing the coronavirus pandemic can also provide opportunities to fight climate change and boost equity.

"Unless we break the stranglehold of these massive corporations over our medicines, the injustice will continue."

“Never in the history of public health has herd immunity been used as a strategy for responding to an outbreak, let alone a pandemic."
