BOLDUAN Yeah I ve ░░░░░░░░ it from other and ░░░░░░░░ scientists who say he ░░░░░░░░ he wants to make ░░░░░░░░ science behind especially vaccines ░░░░░░░░ medicines transparent but he ░░░░░░░░ t listen to the ░░░░░░░░ science of those medicines ░░░░░░░░ vaccines when they re ░░░░░░░░ to him which is ░░░░░░░░ obfuscation and confusion around ░░░░░░░░ views Additionally you wrote ░░░░░░░░ this opinion piece last ░░░░░░░░ responding to the president ░░░░░░░░ moving to withdraw the ░░░░░░░░ States from the World ░░░░░░░░ Organization again and you ░░░░░░░░ you wrote this Many ░░░░░░░░ America s global health ░░░░░░░░ as smart diplomacy Even ░░░░░░░░ most hostile countries welcome ░░░░░░░░ medical expertise and support ░░░░░░░░ health security is essential ░░░░░░░░ international security and to ░░░░░░░░ country s economy It ░░░░░░░░ not look like Donald ░░░░░░░░ is going to reverse ░░░░░░░░ on this decision What ░░░░░░░░ you think the result ░░░░░░░░ be SEBELIUS Well I ░░░░░░░░ afraid what it will ░░░░░░░░ is the World Health ░░░░░░░░ which has been around ░░░░░░░░ the end of World ░░░░░░░░ II and includes basically ░░░░░░░░ country in the world ░░░░░░░░ the United States withdraws ░░░░░░░░ may well collapse And ░░░░░░░░ that does is not ░░░░░░░░ make Americans far less ░░░░░░░░ and secure but it ░░░░░░░░ really sends ripples throughout ░░░░░░░░ world in terms of ░░░░░░░░ being able to detect ░░░░░░░░ prevent and restrain diseases ░░░░░░░░ a very early stage ░░░░░░░░ being able to share ░░░░░░░░ We saw Kate what ░░░░░░░░ when Donald Trump withdrew ░░░░░░░░ from China in his ░░░░░░░░ administration We had CDC ░░░░░░░░ who were headquartered in ░░░░░░░░ I work closely with ░░░░░░░░ Chinese Health Ministry They ░░░░░░░░ It took us a ░░░░░░░░ longer to find out ░░░░░░░░ Covid and what was ░░░░░░░░ on with Covid than ░░░░░░░░ should have And frankly ░░░░░░░░ was already in the ░░░░░░░░ States by the time ░░░░░░░░ started executing measures to ░░░░░░░░ and restrain the spread ░░░░░░░░ the disease That s ░░░░░░░░ great example of how ░░░░░░░░ we are Diseases don ░░░░░░░░ have passports They don ░░░░░░░░ clear customs They don ░░░░░░░░ care about borders They ░░░░░░░░ with the global travelers ░░░░░░░░ million Americans a year ░░░░░░░░ mean I m sorry ░░░░░░░░ million Americans a month ░░░░░░░░ the country and come ░░░░░░░░ Millions of foreigners come ░░░░░░░░ the United States for ░░░░░░░░ visits and tourism Our ░░░░░░░░ is imported in large ░░░░░░░░ Our medicines are imported ░░░░░░░░ can t stop disease ░░░░░░░░ coming into this country ░░░░░░░░ we can do is ░░░░░░░░ a collaboration share information ░░░░░░░░ and identify very early ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ other countries and send ░░░░░░░░ to help deal with ░░░░░░░░ Not doing that putting ░░░░░░░░ blinders in the United ░░░░░░░░ makes Americans far less ░░░░░░░░ only less healthy and ░░░░░░░░ secure but we watched ░░░░░░░░ topple the economy once ░░░░░░░░ is an economic and ░░░░░░░░ issue.”
