Former Centers for Disease Control branch chief, Daniel Pollock, reflects on what we might learn from failed institutional responses to COVID-19 as well as the narratives that emerge from this epidemiological crisis. Pollock emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary accounts of the pandemic that attend to global and institutional complexities rather than accounts that lapse into derivative, and forgettable, \"lessons learned.\"
