Sanders rips Pence: His last response to an epidemic was to 'pray' it away
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday slammed President Trumps appointment of Vice President Pence as point man on the coronavirus outbreak, noting the HIV outbreak that occurred during Pences tenure as governor of Indiana as well as Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azars refusal to promise that a coronavirus vaccine would be affordable to all.

Pence faced widespread criticism as governor of Indiana following an HIV outbreak in Scott County led to more than 200 cases in 2015 after Pence and GOP state lawmakers defunded Planned Parenthood, which was one of the primary vectors of HIV testing in the county.

The World Health Organization announced Wednesday that for the first time since the outbreak began in December, more new cases were being reported outside of China than in it.

This crucial vaccine affordability issue is perfect for Bernie and Warren, it is emblematic of their social injustice themes. It is so outrageous--I hope this becomes a central issue because it is so symbolic of where we've come as a society.

We can not afford another set of bumbling religious bigots handling a pandemic.
