The Coronavirus Pandemic has brought out the best in many of our citizens. We have been inspired by the doctors, nurses, and other frontline workers who have put their own lives on the line to help others. And by the scientists who created Coronavirus Vaccines in record time. At the same time, others have sought to profit from the pandemic, put lives at risk and violate the public trust.

All due to emergent failure to proper Demand Chain facilities, adequately train its staff, and ensure the proper protocols were followed. I want to be clear this hearing is not about questioning the
