Question about project 2025
What would happen to pandemic response?
Answer
"Project 2025" sees the government as a roadblock, and is likely to eliminate important parts of the government which would make it harder for a future pandemic response. They propose the dismantling of many agencies that can play a role in the federal response to a pandemic like the Department of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Labor, in addition to cuts to programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance, which are often needed in a public health crisis. The platform likely views public health as best left to individual citizens and communities.
