White House Never Tried to Control the Virus, Cuomo Says

The transcript discusses the federal government's approach to COVID-19, highlighting their early decision not to control the pandemic but to focus on developing vaccines and therapeutics. This strategy, based on the belief that the virus couldn't be controlled, is critiqued as a flawed premise that led to a lack of effort in controlling the virus. The federal government's actions are described as preemptive capitulation, with a focus on vaccine development rather than virus control.
