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.

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.

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.

Many, many people are going to die because of this.

My country is being destroyed right in front of me. What a time to be alive!

Another reason not to visit the US. They can't prevent disease and aren't even trying. All they want is your money.

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.

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.

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.

this feels like the USSR breakup. EVERY STATE FOR THEMSELVES

America winning all the diseases because MAGA

From the article, a laundry list of 'achievements' since RFK Jr took office:

Kennedy’s tenure at HHS has been unprecedented and chaotic. In just eight months, the secretary has: pushed sweeping budget cuts and canceled billions in research and development; overseen mass layoffs and reorganizations that erased whole teams tackling clear health threats; without scientific backing, withdrawn Covid vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant people; gutted the agency’s vaccine advisory panel, firing respected experts and replacing them with ideological loyalists; installed a vocal Covid vaccine critic to chair a safety subcommittee; reopened the long-debunked vaccines-and-autism debate; hired a discredited anti-vaccine researcher who experimented on autistic children to trawl government data and relitigate settled science; pressed for access to private data to fuel the research; undermined his own epidemiologists during the Texas measles response; downplayed a shooting that left CDC staff shaken; announced sweeping policy changes on social media with no data to back them and accused the American Academy of Pediatrics of a “pay-to-play scheme” for daring to dissent. Most recently, he blew his self-imposed September deadline to figure out the cause of autism and, without compelling scientific evidence, blamed pregnant mothers’ use of Tylenol for the condition.

Meanwhile, the pedo in chief got his flu & COVID booster. These fucking people…

Next pandemic is gonna be a lot of fun to watch from the other side of the planet 🤦

Historically fascists leave office when they die

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!

They have since admitted it was a mistake and then rehired all the white ones.

Other countries should just stop tourists from the USA from entering - the damn place is a biohazard at this point.

Of course, brain worms demand it

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).

... 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.

Unleash COVID-25.

Every virus and bacteria loved that

Everyday these fucking assholes. That's why I stopped speculating what else fucking damage they would do -- stop giving the bastards ideas.

They need to be stopped completely.

Why would you need to do science when all of the answers are on instagram already
