On the Evidence109, Part 2 | Improving Health Equity by Transforming Public Health Data SystemsEarly in the COVID-19 pandemic, inconsistent data collection and reporting made it difficult for U.S. public health agencies to respond to the disease's inequitable impacts.

The same data issues would later impede agenciesâ ability to prioritize vaccinations for the people most impacted by the pandemic.

They claim to be non-partisan... is this true? And who funds them?
We also talk about how words are often manipulated to turn a truth into a lie.
Why did we decide to talk about fact-checkers? Because truth matters.
We live in a world that tries to lead with lies, but freedom is not found in lies, it is found in truth.
Truth has no agenda. Lies always do.

Thus, those systems do not support the needs of all, benefitting some and not others.
