A congressional deal for billions of dollars in additional coronavirus funding appeared all but dead after Senate Republicans accused the White House of being dishonest about the nation’s pandemic funding needs.
Testifying Thursday, senior Biden health officials warned that the virus is evolving to evade existing vaccine protections and the country needed to be prepared to invest in new vaccines and treatments. Millions of vaccinated and boosted Americans have been sickened by the latest wave of omicron subvariants that has swept the country — including Anthony S.
Sen. Patty Murray , the panel’s chair, argued in her remarks that preparing the nation for the next stage of the pandemic should be a top priority for Congress.“Democrats have been hammering this home for months — we’ve been yelling from the rooftops, warning what’s at risk if we don’t get this done,” Murray said. “The fact the administration has had to resort to allocating resources from our long-term needs to keep our short term response afloat — that’s not a solution. That’s a stopgap.
“New COVID Funding Probably Dead,” financial-services firm Raymond James wrote in a note to investors on Thursday. “We are very skeptical more COVID money will be made available and believe the Administration will now need to move more quickly toward a system where COVID vaccines, treatments, and testing are provided through the traditional supply chain and purchasing apparatus in the U.S. health system.
The author of that note, former Trump administration health official Chris Meekins, said in an interview that Romney’s comments seems to foreclose the prospect of future compromises. “I do not see a path to get 10 Senate Republicans to support the bill,” Meekins said.
