I can't dig on this right now (at work) but I just heard the white house muppet in her press briefing say the White House is working to establish an Office of Pandemic Preparedness. I'm sure there will be sauce in a little while.
Scary part is she dropped that nonchalantly, and right before turning the briefing over to Mayorkis. Seems like what they do with a Friday afternoon drop - bury the stuff that could be big underneath something else when something big is already going on.
Why would they be working to set up a pandemic preparedness office in the White House now? What is coming, and how soon?
I did find this article from April: https://www.statnews.com/2023/04/06/white-house-no-pandemic-office/
Here's another article with a few more details:

Thanks! These are great. Looks like I was right to worry about it too judging by this quote from one of the articles:
Overseeing development of next-generation vaccines a.k.a mrna vaccines? That 100% proves everything they are doing for the scamdemic is political. A white house office has no business or authority to do anything with vaccine research and development.
Yep. Exactly. I'm slammed with work (self-employed) and can't take the time to do a real dig. But if I find anything, I'll let you know. And please post more of what you find, we all need to be aware of this going forward.
Been there - had my own consulting business back when Obama screwed the economy and the layoffs hammered the tech sector. I still have my first check framed from my first consulting gig. $9600 for a couple days work and it felt great.
I'll dig more this weekend when it doesn't interfere with my day job.
Yep, it was Hussein's economic genius (/sarc) that launched me into self-employment / consulting. Best career move I've ever made. (And I've got a great boss. LOL)
