I agree with your statement about government and what it SHOULD be.
Also, though, we are now in an era of biowarfare. Soon, a biological attack both massive and highly lethal will be possible, if it isn’t already.
It would be nice, under such conditions, to have a national medical response that could operate at “warp speed”. Public support for this has been pissed away.
Perhaps that is the plan. The elites never wanted to save the public, anyway.
If such an event takes place all the absolutely corrupt self serving science that gave us a Covid Pandemic response hardly sets a foundation or best practice platform in future pandemics. I would actually argue we need to dismantle and disband the agencies involved. They are not fixable. If they are what we need to rely on in a true pandemic emergency, we’re doomed.
