So you're telling me, as it's spreading across the US, as it has been doing for months now, that it's currently still considered eliminated? Cool. Just like how visiting the CDC's covid page shows it hasn't been updated since late Sept. Everything is cool.

COVID still at #5.
Alzheimer's #6 so the solution was end all Alzheimer's research via NIH in 2025.
RFK stands for Rubella For Kids!
rubella fried kids.
1 person potentially dies if a vaccine with suspect evidence and we hear nonstop about how dangerous vaccines are. Children start dying of measles and it's a risk they're willing to take.
Isn't dead children like the #1 totally acceptable sacrifice in the US at this point?
Sandy Hook made that ABUDANTLY clear
Yes and no, ostensibly everything the US does is to protect the children and keep them alive but the problem is our society is too broken to understand the value of children/human life and thus we must brutally and publicly sacrifice children to shock ourselves into a state of pseudo-empathy so that we can then extract the possibility of feeling deep emotions about protecting the children in a sense that spiritually absolves our guilt. So no, I am offended you would think that dead children is an acceptable sacrifice in the US! We feel a lot of emotions about dead children and you dismiss them all when you attack US culture that way, we feel terrible the entire time we are sacrificing children we promise you!
You know it isn't easy sacrificing children and feeling bad about it when you refuse to stop sacrificing children, it is a Sisyphean existence we commit ourselves to as a form of worship at the altar of greatness that this most godly of countries embodies.
Maybe you could just eat or smear some ivermectin on it. Or pray that it goes away.
Or do some pullups at the airport. The health effect is maximized if you wear jeans and no shirt.
A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Poor too. They need you to be poor.
If only we had some injection to prevent this.
Maybe we could weaken the virus or kill it, so it just floats around until the body attacks it...
Then the body could learn how to defend against it? Are we on to something here? Maybe we call it....a MAGAination?
Why did Kamala and Biden do this to us? They left us a horrible medical situation and we are just trying to dig out from under it....
-cheeto mcpedo, probably
IDK who downvoted you but this is just republicans on every issue today as well as the entire media sphere that's backing them.
I am quite sure that prefacing a sentence will soon become a a mark of notoriety,
Have the country you voted for assholes.
Trouble is half of us voted against it and still get to suffer the consequences. I'm not having fun anymore.
our country has the following factions:
- death cultists
- sensible people
- sports team voters
- folks who think themselves sensible when they vote for neither party
- folks who can't tell the difference between all the other factions
the death cultists got their candidate on the ballot as one of the sports team candidates and won. they will now kill everyone else in service of their death cult
It feels like a bad game of D&D where the DM keeps heavily pushing the evil path, despite player choices not choosing that path.
and the DM is Larry Elison
"Look you can return the artifact to either Chuck Schumer or the Golden King of Racism. If you return the artifact to Chuck Schumer he will eventially yeild the artifact to the Golden King of Racism after several weeks of commenting how hard his decision was."
It wasn’t enough to stop or even curtail this fascism even a little bit.
Trump was the result of decades of voting farther and farther right while catering to middle class white America. We got what we deserved
What middle class? But fair enough. I just can't help but feel I got shafted when the first president election I was old enough to vote in had trump on the ballot.
The middle class thrived pretty well after the new deal. If you were white. Your choice in the election was the direct result of selfishness and keeping anyone not a WASP out of any possibility of prosperity
Unfortunately, viruses don't follow geopolitical boundaries. The extremely far right's vaccine hesitancy will put the world in danger and cause a resurgence of various diseases, alongside emerging threats, such as fungal infections.
Pro death party strikes again
They really are.
Something needs come through and kill all the antivaxers, so it might as well be this.
Unfortunately, it’ll just kill their kids
And people in the community that they infect while walking around as contagious carriers.
Ah but RFK knows fire kills measles, COVID and cancer.
Check out these sweet thangs on black friday 2026...
At least none of them will die of autism.
Republicans now aew acknowledging this and blaming immigrants
What if the call is coming from wtihin the house?
