And the messaging has been confusing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BOSSERT: The federal government really has two big, primary roles. The first is procuring these vaccines and treatments, and we\u2019ve made some significant mistakes there, failed to make big bets. The doctor mentioned that we \u2014 we\u2019ve got another Merck drug that we\u2019ve ordered. But they ordered that one early in the test trial phase. That\u2019s what they should have done with Paxlovid. They waited six months for second and third phase trials, and they shouldn\u2019t have done that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And so now the messaging breaks that public trust. Admit that, and I think they\u2019d earn some trust. Then we\u2019d be able to move forward.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If we change our messaging, vacillate on our, on our belief set, lose sight of our common purpose or goal, people pick up on that and they don\u2019t trust anymore. So, in fact, I tell people that, in a crisis, which is what this is, clear and consistent messaging, telling people what you know and don\u2019t know, and acknowledging mistakes and moving on are the three keys to maintaining trust. And if you break any one of them, you\u2019ll have a harder time with the underlying core response plan and its execution.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
