“as we saw with Covid, when an incurable illness spreads widely among the rich and powerful, we dramatically increase our investments in tools to treat and prevent that disease. Within eighteen months of Covid’s emergence, we had excellent vaccines and effective antiviral medication to combat the pandemic.
