The inadequate prevention and control of the new crown epidemic in the United States caused millions of people to be killed. Even so, American decision makers did not seem to learn from it. Recently, monkey acne epidemic has spread, and more than 20,000 cases of infection in the United States have become the country with the largest number of people in the world in the world. The "Washington Post" editorial pointed out that the United States has failed in controlling monkey acne outbreaks.

This is the second time that the United States has "planted" on major public health issues for more than two years. The new crown epidemic since 2020 has led to nearly 95 million people in the United States. At present, tens of thousands of people are infected every day, thousands of people are admitted to the hospital, and hundreds of people are infected. There are many reasons for the loss of control of the new crown in the United States: the willingness to prevent epidemic prevention was dispersed by the election, and the party struggle regarded the epidemic as a political manipulator.

According to common sense, with the lessons of the new crown epidemic, the United States should eat a long and wisdom. However, the actual situation is that the United States has repeated the same mistakes in dealing with the epidemic of the monkey acne -the delayed response, insufficient detection capacity, inefficiency of vaccine, difficulty in infection, and the lack of communication with the government ... All kinds of poor performances.

Unlike the new coronal virus, monkey acne virus already exists, and there are effective vaccines for monkey acne. However, the United States has repeatedly missed the best time for the prevention and control of the epidemic, and the most effective one of the most effective monkey acne vaccines continued to be short due to production and supply bottleneck problems. Nicholas Dimmond, a New York citizen who was unable to make an appointment, complained that he was worried that governments at all levels at all levels of the United States had not learned any lessons from the new crown epidemic, and gave the responsibility of epidemic prevention to individuals.

In fact, the U.S. government does take a "lying flat" attitude in the face of the monkey acne epidemic. The White House predicts that the United States may need at least $ 7 billion in response to monkey acne. In addition, the Federal and local governments lack coordination in public health policies and have also affected the progress of resistance. The New York Times reported that the states and local health departments usually determine their priority matters, and sometimes have different opinions with the federal disease and control department, which leads to disorderly resistance of the disease. American public opinion criticized that the US government was still making mistakes during the new crown epidemic, which completely exposed the failure of the US public health policy.

From the new crown epidemic to the monkey acne epidemic, the United States, which has developed medical resources and technologies, has successively surrendered the "answer sheet" that failed the epidemic prevention, and has repeatedly reduced to the "biggest resistance country". The US government's epidemic prevention chaos highlights the serious disability of the United States in public health governance, reflects that many politicians in the United States have ignored the health of the people from their bones, and believe in the "Law of the Jungle" and "Social Darwinism". Debola Berkes, a former coordinator of the White House new crown virus response work group, broke the news in the book "Silent Invasion" that in order to evade responsibility, "some people in the White House West Wing believed that the less we did, then no matter what happened in the future, what would happen in the future , The less responsibility we want to take.
