45 yrs ago I had a great HS civics class (Mr. Loveland, Hall HS, Hartford CT), remember civics? So I know something about states rights + US Constitution. But that's not the point & you know it. POTUS had responsibilities to lead a national #COVID19 response, protect Americans: https://twitter.com/StuartMeissner/status/1322634322248163333

This WH, Exec Branch of Fed Govt failed to detect virus entry into NY from Europe, failed to inform states and direct them to block resurgence across the South this summer, failed to enact my Oct 1 plan to prevent this newest deadly resurgence, result: 225,000 American lives lost

In its place, WH launched a deadly disinformation campaign: 1) discrediting masks, 2) downplaying severity of epidemic, 3) falsely attributing deaths to co-morbidities, 4) pushing fake herd immunity, 5) pushing fake cures, hydroxychloroquine, 6) attacking scientists, including me

All of which Mr. "GOP Senate candidate" as you describe yourself, leads me to believe that might want to reflect a bit more before you accuse a scientist of being a "political hack"
