Progressive darling Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday said she believes the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic wouldn't have been as bad as it has been if her vision of a Green New Deal was implemented in the United States. The comment was made during a Zoom call with actress and climate change activist Jane Fonda.
"Do you think that had there been a Green New Deal in place in January 2020, COVID-19 would have been much easier to contain and our health care system would have been much more resilient?" Fonda asked AOC.
"I absolutely think so, for a lot of reasons," the freshman congresswoman replied. "For one, if we had passed a Green New Deal by January of this year, that would mean that we had a political establishment that respects science, that is willing to mobilize and make major investments to protect the American people and, frankly, our global population."
According to Ocasio-Cortez, having "universal health care" embedded into the Green New Deal's "values," Americans would have been better off.
"With those mechanisms in place, then I do believe we would have been better off. We would have respected the science early, we would have listened to scientists, we would have generated policy and enacted policy that is based on science and not politicizing how manly you are if you don't wear a mask.
