An advocacy group founded to prevent future pandemics is launching a new round of TV ads Tuesday, urging key Democratic senators to support a $30 billion proposal designed to help prepare for coming viral outbreaks.
The ads from the group, Guarding Against Pandemics, come as lawmakers debate reducing funding for future pandemic preparedness as part of a larger multi-trillion-dollar spending package. The group argues in the ads that any such cuts would be a mistake after the catastrophe of the coronavirus pandemic.
“To prevent another 2020, Congress must act,” the ad says.
