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

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.
Another reason not to visit the US. They can’t prevent disease and aren’t even trying. All they want is your money.
Are you kidding? I want your heathcare.
I remember the time when every weekend there was good news like NASA launching a new space station component on the space shuttle. They did have bad news like the shuttle blowing up and the NASDAQ dropping 10 points on the same day. But usually news had puppies being adopted and new vaccines or a new animal discovered.
Now its all about what I can’t do anymore starting this week. Like bikes are not allowed anymore. Or you can’t kiss in public or below the chin. Can’t wear colored shirts or shorts but pants may still be blue. If you’re lucky you could be illegal this week too!
As a kid I remember Tom Brokaw droning on about the collapsed soviet union and eventually Kuwait but all that bad news was offshore, domestic news was all about how great 3Q was going to be and how the malls and airports would be swamped for Christmas, great movies in theaters, optimism. I had no idea it was the last time I’d experience it.
My country is being destroyed right in front of me. What a time to be alive!
I’m just sitting waiting for it to either kill me or fail trying. And all I can do in the meantime is try to live life pretending like it’s not on a time limit
Historically fascists leave office when they die
I’m fine with that.
Meanwhile, the pedo in chief got his flu & COVID booster. These fucking people…
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.

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.
Thanks for being observant, and I love that fucking user name!
I get that every member of this admin has the intention of destroying America, but what do they think happens when they succeed. They think they gunna be the madmax style warlords? Like once their accumulated wealth is worthless do they think they are ruthless enough to take that mantle? I look forward to some pretty wild news of their demise.
They’re planning to ‘restructure’ into a new country. They assume that the military will fall in line. Maybe it will. Idk. But they’re aiming for something like the collapse of the ussr but faster and more controlled.
They’ll enjoy the beautiful beaches in Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Curacao… please do not worry for them, they’ll be alright, always.
That’s the beauty of being a psychopath. /s
Very sadly I think the answer is essentially yes. They think their wealth is a sign of their inherent superiority over people that will be around after the government collapses. They think that they’ll be able to just turn the lights off and turn on the fascist regime that has them at the seat of power because they don’t understand or simply don’t believe in the complex scaffolding that keeps our current society up.
Ironic that a government overthrow led by a shadow cabal of tech billionaires basically comes down to “they plan on turning it off and on again”
and every other toppled regime “did it wrong” and they totally won’t make the same mistakes again.
9% of the remaining staff.
Another 4,000 government employees were fired across other vital programs.We are still leas than a year into this 4 years presidency.
There isnt just gonna be a fixing this. The US is going to have to take decades to rebuild itself from scratch whenever this fascist agenda ends.
wheneverif this fascist agenda ends.That’s one of the few silver linings of fascism, it always ends. It’s inherently unstable.
But it’ll kill me first so I’d really prefer to just stop it now by any means necessary, including the things I’m not allowed to say
It’s never had modern resources before
Neither did the people fighting fascism.
Unfortunately there’s not really a good historical example of fascism being stopped once they have the power of the pulpit without the help of foreign intervention.
I’ve heard that before but I only have an american public education. If I actually looked for historical examples, I wonder what I would find?
The entirety of ww2, Spain transitioned out of fascism relatively peacefully too
I mean, it’s a bit difficult to look for historical examples of something not happening. However the opposite is fairly easy, off the top of my head the most well known examples of fascist governments being brought down are the Nazi, Vichy France, imperial Japan, and Mussolini’s Italy.
Nuclear weapons have the same silver lining! What a coincidence!
All things end.
Now the timeline and the explosiveness of its ending are to be determined.
We can rebuild it, we have the technology, >!we just don’t want to spend a lot of money!<
This has to be classic case of nurgle cultist wanting everyone to feel all of nurgles blessings.
Someone burn nurgles garden again please.
First they came for the…
The USA is simultaneously broadcasting to militaries around the world that America is going to ignore the Geneva convention/greenlight warcrimes, and they’re dismantling the infrastructure that would’ve been used to defend themselves against biological weapons.
What does the Geneva convention say about war crimes committed against a nation that also commits war crimes?
They get recorded as being super polite citizenry.

Article 7, Section 2: “I’m rubber and you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you”.
It doesn’t
This would be the perfect time to release a last of us fungus or zombie virus stockpiles
Or bovine ebola, to devastate the USA’s beef supply. I imagine that an America that suddenly has no burgers would sober up fairly quick. The massive super farms / agriculture concentration areas make it an easy target.
Why would you need to do science when all of the answers are on instagram already
“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.
The last time they did this, we had an outbreak in Wuhan.
