The United States hit an all-time high of 75,600 new COVID Coronavirus cases Thursday — the largest number recorded in a single day since the pandemic began.

Democracy Now! speaks with investigative journalist Sonia Shah about the government’s failed response, the false idea that the virus is a “foreign incursion,” and “vaccine nationalism.”
