BREAKING: My latest @VanityFair story, a detailed investigation into how the White House secretly drafted, then abandoned, a plan to nationalize America's broken #COVID19 diagnostic testing system. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/how-jared-kushners-secret-testing-plan-went-poof-into-thin-air /1
The plan, reported for 1st time here, was killed amid shifting WH logic: “political folks believed that because [virus] was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy....” @ProjectLincoln/2
WH secretly procured 3.5 million Chinese-made diagnostic tests from UAE company. Tests, delivered to @UAEEmbassyUS, didn't work. The invoice simply lists client name as "WH". Without a legit gov't contract, invoice cannot be paid. @COVIDOversight @weareoversight /3
With Americans waiting 7+ days for #COVID19 test results, the @RockefellerFdn has a detailed plan to overhaul nation's testing system. Exclusive interviews w/ President Rajiv Shah, others on how to fix. https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/national-covid-19-testing-and-tracing-action-plan/ /4
