The CDC has paused testing for rabies and pox viruses.

It's vital we keep a close eye on them as rabies is virtually 100% fatal without vaccination, and smallpox killed hundreds of millions (we really don't want a similar virus returning).

Losing track of these viruses is a recipe for catastrophe.

@luckytran USA regime is really going for the Darwin award 🫣
@Frieke72 @luckytran The problem is: it's us normal people who are the ones to suffer for it...

@nazokiyoubinbou @Frieke72 @luckytran Would these be the normal people who either put him into power directly by voting for him, or who put him into power indirectly by not voting for anybody?

Because in those two cases we have 2/3 or so of your electorate.

@ZDL @Frieke72 @luckytran Yes it's them.

It's also those of us who specifically voted against him, who tried everything we could to stop this.

@nazokiyoubinbou @Frieke72 @luckytran It is, yes. But you made it sound like the only people who suffer under the USA's governmental madness. ⅔ of all y'all are reaping what was sown. The rest … you might want to start looking for an exit plan because things will be getting worse long before they get better.

If they ever get better again.

@ZDL @Frieke72 @luckytran It's actually more complicated than that though.

Yes it's true a huge portion chose not to vote. It's also true they've been systematically lead to a point they thought that was the right solution by billions spent in mass media, major social media manipulation, and even the occasional Russian bot.

I'm not saying they're blameless, but it's also a lot more complicated.

And some of us don't get to look for an exit plan. You think I have that kind of money?

@nazokiyoubinbou @Frieke72 @luckytran As the direct descendent of refugees (from two directions, no less!), ask me how impressed I am with "money" as an excuse.

Go ahead.

I'm listening. Honest.
