The short answer is that we have NOT had a failed response, just a failed political system that is using this as a publicity stunt to try to regain what they lost previously.
Some states have 30+ positivity rate!! Per capita, death numbers are horrible compared to almost every country in the world. Why are we closing our eyes in front of the scientific evidence? We are flying the airplanes and should be much better than the cheap conspiracy theory. Let's get our crap together and leave this behind, so we can go back to flying planes, planes that we should thank science for.
