The main reason that the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic became a “miserable failure” is that leading health officials went out of their way to advance an agenda instead of basing their decisions on science, including the science behind natural immunity, says Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

“They didn’t follow the science. They ignored it,” the senator said Monday in an interview on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program, speaking of the nation’s top public health leaders and policy-makers.
