Carrick will help protect Americans from pandemics.
In the last two years what has most negatively impacted education, the economy, the budget deficit, and health care? The answer is the same: the pandemic.
I began working with the biosecurity and pandemic preparedness community in 2015. They predicted and modeled outbreaks as bad as and worse than the current crisis. I tried to help raise the alarms. After Covid hit, I left my job to work on biosecurity and pandemic preparedness. I saw firsthand that even during the pandemic, Congress did not take expert recommendations seriously.
As Delta and Omicron have shown, Covid is not over. It is also not the worst threat that experts warn of. We must meet these challenges through technical and community pandemic prevention measures. With the correct government interventions, it is possible for us to never have a serious pandemic again. I will champion these measures.
