CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

OK, I used to think it was hyperbole, but it seems certain that whomever this administration is working for, they are aiming to kill many of us off. And yet we still have to worry about them WINNING more elections? Americans are dangerously uneducated.
