In terms of vaccines, I was supplying an instance of federal involvement.The EU doesn't have the Constitutional Government of the United States. The US was founded on states power not federal power. The Federal government has grabbed more and more power from the states as time has gone on. It doesn't mean it's right. The states have allowed it. But the Feds don't automatically have the power to mandate states to do things. They have to pass laws that require states to do certain things.
The science is not clear on masks. There is enough evidence that says masks are not that effective.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't use abundance of caution. I wear a mask when in public. But you act like the federal government mandating masks is the major thing. States can do that without the feds. I haven't seen Congress pass any laws on masks.
Vaccines are irrelevant. We don't have one for COVID. No one does. I'm not sure why you brought it up.
The Feds should be there to help the states, not control them. And I am seeing states take their own steps without federal mandates. That's what they should be doing. If the states need assistance the states have gotten it.
The feds could do more to help the states. It took too long for federal action. As I stated, the Trump administration could have set up a national source for supplies by buying at a price and then selling to the states for the same price rather than states buying supplies at inflated prices because they were competing.
Having a national plan doesn't mean controlling the states. From what I see, Republicans politicized masks and the whole pandemic led by their leader who dismissed it right off as going "to disappear".
