#1407 - Debbie Lerman

Debbie Lerman is a photography-based mixed-media artist in Philadelphia, PA. She graduated with a degree in English from Harvard in 1991 and worked as a freelance writer for 25 years. Debbie writes for the Brownstone Institute and joins me talk about her research into the origins of America’s pandemic policies. According to Lerman’s research, in a sharp break from official pandemic preparedness plans, the National Security Council (NSC) was put in charge of the pandemic policy in 2020. And Health and Human Services (HHS) was removed as the lead federal agency for the pandemic response and replaced with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who “were like a deer in headlights,” she argues.
