COVID-19 is a disease, not a political party. To save American lives, all lawmakers must have access to the latest scientific information.
President Donald Trump's decision to block Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, from appearing before the House of Representatives is ludicrous.
The task force's testimony is necessary for Congress to monitor the government's response to the virus and to give the public access to information about it. As the former governor of New Jersey and administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, I know that access to accurate data is crucial for public officials to make informed decisions during any crisis.
We also need to clarify what our government knew and when, as well as how we can avoid gaps in our response in the future. With every crisis, there are lessons to be learned. Accurate, scientific information is the only way to move forward, and we don't even know what we're missing without hearing from experts.
