Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

Remember a couple of minutes ago when the world shut down because we were woefully unprepared for a pandemic?
This is a smart money saving measure, theres no way a pandemic can happen twice.
You kidding? The Trump regime was rooting for the virus initially because it was killing “liberals”. Then they realized it was killing more of their supporters.
Don’t be mistaken - this is meant to kill people. This is an attack on every man, woman, and child in the US.
To be brutally honest, I’m sure there is a lab somewhere cooking up a new virus that will be even harder to fight off.
Once the CDC guardrails are completely gone, said virus is ‘accidentally’ released, killing off countless people who are unable to defend against it.“We get rid of the sick, old, poor, infirm, or anyone else we don’t want hanging around, that means more money for us!”
Even if the US somehow manages to have another election and elect a sane president, it will be an almost impossible task to undo all the damage the Trump regime did.
With a bit of luck, they can use this to regrow it better. it’ll still be a gigantic task.
I really think revolutionaries massively underestimate how much of society is built on well functioning and enduring institutions, and how much more difficult it is to build them from scratch compared to reforming them (in many, but not all cases).
That being said, the US is a basket case, so perhaps a revolution might be worth it.
Still sceptical, though.
(This is my biggest disagreement with some other socialists I’ve met where I live, which is not the US)
Another reason not to visit the US. They can’t prevent disease and aren’t even trying. All they want is your money.
I really love all these accounts attempting to sow division and hate against the United States, when it’s just one specific political group who everyone should be uniting against, FASCISM.
Meanwhile, go ahead and read that article about how the European Union has had 32,264 cases of the measles, and only 4 EU countries have the recommended two dose coverage for the vaccination, and then come back and talk to us about disease prevention.
Edit: hi Alaknard, you America-hatin’ Lil busy bee
Unleash COVID-25.
RFK is on track to have one of the highest kill counts for a powerful US figure in the first quarter of the 21st century. That is an intimidating sentence and yet it seems to be undeniably true, I don’t see how we can swerve from the path of mass amounts of unnecessary death in the US from disease. Shame on us.
Not just in the United States. The Lancet estimates just cancelling USAID will kill 14 million people between now and 2030. 14 million avoidable deaths because the world’s richest man thought feeding the poor was a waste.
RFK is on track to do a lot of damage, but he has some stiff competition.
My country is being destroyed right in front of me. What a time to be alive!
Well, that’s one way to stochastically get rid of excess population now seen as surplus to requirements, I guess.
Any former employees of the CDC might be interested to know that the EU has been beefing up epidemic response and is hiring. Assuming you’ll be allowed to leave the country, of course.
“This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared.”
No, they should be mad. Mad as hell that this government is dismantling all the safe-guards that keep them safe.
This is a really good point.
Republicans sell to their base that they need to always be on edge, scared of a threat that doesnt really exist so they think they are good at defending themselves and their families from threats.
But this is inviting real ones. Legitimate threats and dangers to our lives that they will not be prepared to defend against the same way they can against a young person wearing clothes they think dont match their gender stereotype.They will view this as a positive that their protections are being taken away for them to have to protect themselves and it will kill people who thank the abusers for the privilege.
Oh how I wish we didn’t share a geographic border with this fuck-up of a nation (with its ability to spread diseases directly to us). <cries in Canadian>
… and how I also wish we didn’t have a significant cell of idiots within our borders who seem to believe the same insanity.
EU, please take under your wing. Whatever faults may be there surely it must be better than this.
Monkeys Paw curls: you’re now a resource rich nation with little man power or military strength isolated from Europe geographically and Russia is your neighbor. “EU please take us under your wing”Ukraine2022-2026 Lmfaoo.
You goofys are stuck with us on this ride to hell. Strap in and less bitching and whining.
Other countries should just stop tourists from the USA from entering - the damn place is a biohazard at this point.
You think that the people rooting for this are world travelers? What’s really strange is I just did an Uber ride for a couple from the Netherlands that came to visit center of nowhere.
You think that the people rooting for this are world travelers?
I don’t care if the guy spreading measles voted D or R. I care that he’s spreading measles.
Democrats still believe in science and get their family vaccinated. But nice attempt to BOTH SIDES!!! the issue, cretin.
Or maybe you just don’t understand how disease and infection works? Highly likely.
Wow, you sure have a short fuse, buddy. Shame your aim is all over the place.
Now read this and this, then come back and tell me:
- how Democrats’ belief in science helps them when the whole country becomes infested, and
- you’re sorry for calling me names for completely failing to understand what I wrote.
Thanks for proving with your links about herd immunity and asymptomatic carriers that you have no real idea how disease and infection works. You are literally saying you think vaccinated people visiting a place with vaccinated people will create a pandemic. I guess you don’t believe vaccinations really work?
You’re a genius!
FFS, mate…
Vaccinated people aren’t 100% immune. Vaccinated people CAN be the transfer vessel for viruses. AND not everybody CAN get vaccinated.
Like, if you took your head out of your arse for one minute to read what I’m actually writing, you’d realise that you’re barking up the wrong tree.
Bruh. Did I say vaccinated people are 100% immune? Nope! But it’s a beautiful world of straw you live in! Hey, when there is a measles outbreak, do you think it’s going to run rampant in communities where the majority of people vaccinate their children, or is it going to run rampant in the communities where people don’t vaccinate at all? Do you know why that is, because that’s how fricken vaccines work. Before I get a flu vaccine, do I ask myself, GARSH, DID EVERYONE GET A FLU VACCINE I SURE HOPE SO!!
Why do you think that is, hm? Gosh, that’s right, because that is what vaccinations do! For some stupid reason you wanted to make it into some political, anti-Democrats, anti-US thing to punish us all for a group of ignorant Republicans. Here’s a simple solution, if you are a country worried about measles: require people traveling to your country to be vaccinated.
Do you even know the top 10 countries with measles outbreaks? Did you know Yemen leads the list? Did you know India, Pakistan, Russia, Canada and Mexico are on the list? You better start calling your government and demanding to restrict your borders! Idiot.
Many, many people are going to die because of this.
And they voted for it. America is very difficult to underestimate.
And you’ll be ok with it.
