#FakeNews media Fake News: Pandemic response leader is a dog breeder

Multiple #FakeNews reports declared that the Trump administration picked a dog breeder to run the US pandemic task force.

It's true that Brian Harrison did for a short while owned a family business that raised Labradoodles.

However he's also held important jobs at HHS, the White House, and the Pentagon as well as having been a director at an independent public affairs company where he helped run its healthcare portfolio.

Now none of those sound like the best qualifications for running the countries response to a pandemic.

The problem is that Harrison wasn't running the effort.  He was an aid to HHS secretary Azar and then Vice President Pence.  His job wasn't setting priorities or defining what should be done but making sure everyone was available for meetings and other tasks necessary to ensuring that the experts, people like Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci, as well as the people who make the decisions, like VP Pence, have what they need to do their jobs.

That didn't stop multiple #FakeNews media sites lying about his real role.
