#LaurieGarrett, who predicted this pandemic, called Trump “the most incompetent, foolhardy buffoon imaginable"; and is "shocked that America isn’t in a position to lead the global response to this crisis in part because science and scientists have been so degraded under Trump."
"Referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and its analogues abroad, Garrett said, “I’ve heard from every C.D.C. in the world — the European C.D.C., the African C.D.C., China C.D.C. — and they say, ‘Normally our first call is to CDC in Atlanta,
but we ain’t hearing back.’ There’s nothing going on down there. They’ve gutted that place. They’ve gagged that place. I can’t get calls returned anymore. Nobody down there is feeling like it’s safe to talk. Have you even seen anything important & vital coming out of the C.D.C.?”
