By Gabriel Bankman-Fried and Ethan Winter
Executive Summary
As part of a July survey, Data for Progress tested attitudes towards investing in pandemic preparedness. This funding is critical to prevent future pandemics and support investments in researching vaccines and treatments, expanding early detection and testing capacity, and increasing the size of America’s stockpile of supplies for pandemic response. This funding is currently in jeopardy of being struck from Democrats’ reconciliation package.
