Invest to prevent future pandemics

Schmitt supports strategic government investment to prevent future pandemics, arguing that prevention should cost billions rather than the trillions spent responding to COVID-19. He describes this as an America First approach but does not specify the investments or how they would be selected.

Context: No specific investment plan or funding amount is given.

In their own words

We also must invest to prevent the next pandemic in an America First way.
