Hey how about you stop blaming people and actually try and fix the problem jackass.
I was just thinking in a sane world, that headline would have ended "and the governmental organizations are working with local groups and leading experts on preventing the spread"
They where preventing the spread but decided not to. What else do you expect from antivaxers. Don't see the benifet cause they have never seen the harm.
Yeah but that's not engagement maxxing. He's gonna stretch this out for the ratings. One article isn't enough gotta slap the citizens with a cliff hanger, and the next article would say "the republicans offer humanitarian efforts to thwart sleepy Joe fumble when screworm with this one simple concept" Few months later the last article comes out about the screworm it was then screwing the citizens in some way and suddenly believes in socialism to bail out the Epstein class with our tax dollars or some useless but smart sounding to their supporters with something they will just eat up:
Yeah he’ll put RFK right on that
He's already infected.
The screworm is in control now dude
he prefers the more elegant ones, the ones that burrows into your brain.
But if they fix the problem then what will they have left to blame on Biden?
Oh don't worry about that, they'll always think of something.
Oh yeah, you're right. I mean it's not like it's one of their favorite talking points, like border control, to the point where republicans would deliberately torpedo bipartisan legislation that they had helped to draft, during Biden's presidency, specifically because trump told them to block it, because he didn't want Biden to have a border win...
For Republicans it's not how many times they can shoot themselves in the foot, but how many of their enemies they can hit with collateral damage in the process.
