It's not just that they aren't actively trying, but their actions have been repeatedly counterproductive...the questioning of the "Trump vaccine", the J&J halt, then the slowwalk on the myocarditis issue, the failure to study the pregnancy miscarriage issue, the flip flop on masks, the deferring to interest groups like teacher's unions, the failure to rush study on alternative treatments, the demonizing of the unvaccinated by some politicians and the media, the politicization of it all (by some blaming the Rs), and their just ignoring what the real impacts of natural immunity might be (which from the initial Israeli data might actually be more robust than vaccine immunity, depending on how badly you got the illness).
