I really don’t understand the billionaires. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, having an intact government is useful. People not going hungry or stressing the medical system, gives a regime credibility. Without that shield of satisfaction, the rulers of a government are doomed to die at the hands of their subjects.
What is there to gain from all of this?
Privatization.
If you can cover it up with the Ministry of Truth, there is no problem, right?
Right?
Can’t die of ebola if it wasn’t tracked by the CDC. (Taps Forehead…)
“Cause of death? Natural causes, I guess. Sometimes healthy 27 year olds just die.”
“Ain’t no pandemic if ain’t no doctors!”
So I knew about RFK’s anti vaccine / raw milk stance, I didn’t know this part though
Kennedy has also expressed skepticism about widely accepted infectious disease science, questioning whether germs cause disease and whether HIV causes AIDS.
Yeah he’s also cast aspersions on the Polio vaccine. When that vaccine was first announced on the news, people on NY were out in the streets celebrating. Work basically stopped for the day. Practically everyone knew someone who had died of Polio.
It was one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the modern era. But RFK thinks he knows better.
If he has any doubts about HIV causing AIDS, he should test it on himself then. I mean if he says it doesn’t do it, why not?
Scratch a denialist of one type, and you soon find they contain multitudes of denialist bullshit. That’s been my experience, anyway.
Ask him about the Holocaust, evolution, and the moon landing, I say…seems he is already known as a vaccine denialist, an HIV denialist and a germ theory denialist.
And maybe we could just feed him a nice plate of Salmonella if he thinks it’s fine.
Yes, please. Sprinkle it with some syph and bird flu because why the fuck not?
Turns out bird flu cures syph
(They used malaria to cure it before)
The beginning of the US brain drain.
Finally, he’s doing something to lower the price of eggs. The long national nightmare is over. Now we can just eat flu eggs for cheap. Problem solved, permanently for some people.
“Disease Detective, that’s a fake job, fire them!!”
Are there independent websites that doctors can log there data, ones not attached in anyway to the federal or state government?
You’re on one
Veterinary organisations would keep records and may add to them with trusted data sources, but they’re likely primarily government funded.
Because his solution for something getting reported on more and more is to write less reports
It’s like when a video game has a character with a shitty pickrate cause their kit is no fun and they make an event and tie a bunch of content to them instead of making them fun. Later they’re like look! You liked so and so all along! Oblivious to the fact they fudged their own damn numbers
Your analogy works. Very niche, but it works.
How is there still no travel ban into the EU for US citizens?
Canada needs to close our border to the USA. At this point I’m all for the tarrifs if it means our country completly detaches itself from that sinking ship
Canada can’t afford to, no? Too much usa food in their stores
Barely anything from the US
Depends if you’re buying food or foodlike products. Lots of heavily processed junk food is from the US
I would have thought so too but I’ve been avoiding buying anything American recently and it’s a lot easier than I expected. Our stores would definitely look a lot emptier for a while but I think it’s worth it in the long run
That’s great! I’m pleasantly surprised
You really should cut us off hard. Save yourselves, we’ll take care of this problem internally, in the meanwhile, once enough people wake up.
Once enough people
wake updie. FTFYIf any of you (sane) states manage to break away from the union, we’ll happily accept you into ours :)
I should probably bet some money on both RFK and Trump contracting bird flu this year.
That would be to nice for this timeline. More likely that half the country will get it in the next 5 years and tens of thousands of babies and pregnant women will die. That fits more with what the writers seem to like.
Probably from some dead bald eagle that rfk found on his way to work.
Someone needs to make nurgle with tump hair. I’m convinced if there was zombie outbreak dude would say fake news.
Brand this: Trumpflu 2025
I was in Walgreens tonight after work and purchased some face masks in light of the degradation of the DHHS.
They’re gonna be illegal to wear in public anyway, though.
I’ll start actively sneezing in people’s faces to prove a point.
This is how the violence starts…
