I have a friend working there. At least she was until 4 AM Saturday. But surprise, she's working there again as of Sunday. Pure chaos!

Yeah. Because just not looking for new diseases erupting is such a great idea. I hope Europe and China are doing their due diligence, and hopefully we don't have the next big disease kick off in the USA.

Fucking imbecile MAGA ghouls, all of this because of contention over well-established, well-researches, well-supported results from inoculation campaigns, and the ideology surrounding medical treatment for the trans community. A lot of people are going to get sick in the U.S. (I know, I know, they already are but Measles outbreaks are set to increase in scale and scope), and this is going to get really, really fucking bad. Expect for people that you know to start dying from diseases that were killing members of your grandparent's generation. See image of U.S. states affected by Measles outbreaks in 2025:

Next pandemic is gonna be lit.

This looks like a silent invasion 70s script.

Friend of mine working on big shit there got furloughed then fully fired as of Friday from the CDC.

If anyone at the CDC is reading this: destroy the smallpox sample before trump decides to use it.

Make miasma theory great again.

Apparently MAGA has innate super-immunity and doesn't have any need for the CDC or vaccines.

You ask why? I think the ideological side of Maga understands, on some basic level, the challenges of ecological overshoot. They heard about degrowth and are trying the psychopath version of getting populations down.

Short of an all out war, disease is the next best way to shave some numbers off our 8.2 billion. Remember the US CDC also studies every nightmare bacteria and virus, including gain of function. Now we have a bunch of unemployed and unemployable virologists whose degrees just became useless. I wonder if anyone might steal from their employer and have a 12 Monkeys kind of time.

So like kids can’t get measles vaccines? I had to. Measles mumps and rubella and chicken pox. Trumps want to pick and choose which one we get so we take one vaccine at a time?

People just want to remember the hard way why all these programs were put in place originally, lol

I tell ya it's bizarre to watch as an outsider. We keep seeing the US set fire to some of its best achievements and institutional instruments to 'reduce government spending', but like everything being cut saves lives and money, for the government.. often with third party reports or studies backing those claims.

Oh the IRS returns $6 for every dollar they're funded, and for the high income investigators it goes up to like $30? Slash their budget and fire all of the high income investigators.

Oh every dollar we spend on USAID nets us massive geopolitical returns it's hard to even quantify, but it's on the order of 10:1? Shutter the entire department!

CDC? More like DEI! Slash it. I can't even remember the last time we had a major infectious disease.

Its so far beyond the traditional Republican funding cuts its shocking. MAGA is intentional sabotage and the most ironic name for a movement ever.

That picture makes RFK Jr. look halfway to becoming Vigo the Carpathian.

Christian death cult. Fucking religious lunatics

Here's my prediction: when the next global pandemic happen, the rest of the world will close their borders to American travelers to quarantine the country that refuses to deal with pandemics.
