Hunt is set to address – via Zoom – a Boston-based conference for medical journalists called “the health coverage fellowship,” as the minister “who led Australia’s pandemic response”.
The fellowship, backed by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association of Massachusetts – a not-for-profit health insurance company – will put Hunt on a panel to provide lessons for the future from countries who “handled the pandemic right and those that demonstrably didn’t,” alongside two American epidemiologists.
In other words, Hunt is representing Australia’s COVID-19 success to the world, even if criticisms over his speed in procuring vaccines, and the Morrison government ceding most pandemic heavy-lifting to the states and their chief health officers hasn’t been forgotten over here.
