On July 31, 2020 Rep. #JamesClyburn said at a hearing with members of the Coronavirus Task Force: "Yesterday it was reported [on July 30, 2020 in Vanity Fair] that, back in April [2020], the [Trump] Administration considered implementing a national strategy to coordinate the distribution of test kits and oversee a contact tracing infrastructure, but it decided not to do so because, at the time, the virus was primarily spreading in #BlueStates."

Vanity Fair: How Jared Kushner’s Secret Testing Plan “Went Poof Into Thin Air”

CNBC reports: "Vanity Fair reported, citing a public health expert who spoke with a member on Kushner’s team familiar with the matter." A source of a source? @KatherineEban at Vanity Fair was the author of that Vanity Fair article. Does she know a health expert on Kushner’s team?

Admiral Brett Giroir, U.S. Assistant Secretary For Health said in an interview with Fox News: “I have never heard something so preposterous as ‘we’re not going to do a national plan because it’s affecting Democratic states. I would like to put that to rest because it’s really ridiculous and it foments mistrust in the public health system. We were all working together, there was no separation or no closet Cabinet or no super-secret kind of plans. We all worked together."

Clyburn and Vanity Fair spread false rumors, then we get #PeadcefulProtests. Just great!
