Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...
This is domestic terrorism
Another complete miscarriage of justice. Destroying all the soft power that makes our country great. It seems the goal of this administration is the same of all oligarchies - keep the populace sick & poor. They haven’t read and/or understood history. The sick & poor will eventually rise up.
Done by a Complete incompetent JackAss!!!
And dismantling the CDC is a good thing because we are all living too long or because Doctor Fauci didn't bend a respectful knee to Trump?
The original sin was that Fauci polled as trusted about covid and Trump was not. Trump mentioned it in public, then the campaign to take him down began.
He’s still pissed that Covid happened on his watch.
Trying to justify this and no matter what I reason there is only one answer. To destroy America.
So when Tayer Swift and VP running mate of Kamala Harris did the same thing what? Where was the outrage then?
it wasnt jst the wave,the chest thump is part of the ritual too. We used to joke that they will give themselves a heart attack that way
Yes, when you accept that everything makes sense. They are weakening America. An immigrant with no allegiance is passing intelligence to Russia. Trump is selling everything. I really have a feeling they are weakening us for an invasion.
The invasion has already happened, and it was a peaceful surrender.
I remember this mini series from the 80s about Russians taking over. Who knew Republicans would be the traitors.
Using a biological weapon that Cheetolini will ignore.
I think the plan is to create a new government on top of the old one. One that only serves corporations and super wealthy elites. They'll have their own teams for disease control & other things the government provides.
So they will stay alive, and the rest of us can rot.
I'm so glad it's the weekend. I need a terror break.
My heart aches...with a daughter suffering from long covid. So painful to watch this. A million/billion broken pieces -- everywhere. It can never be put back together. People need to be thinking Republic_v2.
They are literally trying to kill us.
🤬
It's easier to destroy capability than to reinstate it. The UK Tory government decided to abandon its pandemic planning to put more resources into preparing for Brexit. A quarter of a million British citizens died. And Brexit is a continuing disaster.
People don’t have follow unethical orders. Civil disobedience.
Well, that just screams "new v1ru$". For years, I suspected the "gop" is a d3a+h cult. For me, this administration proves that I am right.
It's usually just once but this deserves a second. FUCK TRUMP!
Ignorance is bliss!
FOTUS is killing Americans' health and safety in the future
WTF is this allowed to happen
Those tax cuts for Elon Musk won't pay for themselves. Even though Republicans have been trying for decades to sell the ridiculous idea.
Dying from a horrible disease is a small price to pay for owning the Libs…🤔
Let’s add it to the list of crimes against humanity!
4% of the World for population? 18% of the Dead from Covid! the Covid Lies and Mask Lies! other Nations did better! We had the best Vaccine 6 months before the World. H5N! Raging! in Farm animals! Testing could end No purchases approved! Gag Order is 100% since 1/21?2025 90 Days? OMG Pray!
In a year we will have devastating impacts. We already have out breaks around the country and how will.people know
Good Luck! 48.6% voted the Right Way!
Maybe all 50 states can band together to create an organization that monitors epidemics throughout the country? 🤔
The red states would not participate. Louisiana today said they were ending all mass vaccination education campaigns which during a high flu season is purposefully evil.
Evil? That’s what the hillbillies in Louisiana wanted. Let them suffer….
Lots of Louisianans, included myself, voted for Kamala. Thanks for your concern.
Don't take it personal. I'm from Florida and have grown some thick alligator skin. They know we're here! Blue dots add up.
Welcome to four years of bird flu, polio, seasonal flu outbreaks, COVID, measles, and new not yet developed epidemics. Science, experts, research, info, trained personnel- who needs it when you can pretend that it’s all hoaxes. Let the deaths begin!
😣
Trump wants to wipe out the american people.
More dead equals more in SS when they loot the Treasury.
But less taxes & a Fcked economy..
Trump doesn't care about anything but his bottom line & revenge against americans.
So much for reducing those costs.No way in hell he’ll win the GOP swing states where economy won him the election. States like MI where he 🖕 Dearborn. Think Latinos, blacks or farmers will support GOP?Cities where he removed head start?Which makes me question how they plan 2 steal future elections.
He doesn't have to win anymore anyway & there may not be anymore elections.
Let’s hope you’re wrong. Although his actions of offending so many races, so many ethnic groups makes me seriously question it. Can’t win elections without these voters..
He doesn't intend there to be any ability for these folks to vote. Their actions tell the only tale that has any meaning. Watch what it does, not what it says when it's mouth moves.
They don't care. If they don't pay for anything, they still make $. It's an every day thing now. Take away, take away, take away. Pocket for themselves.
Trump is a germaphobe. He will protect himself by all means available but the MAGA following will never know.
This is why I bought a year’s worth of masks and gloves. Just in case something happens, which it fucking will.
so great we are gonna be so great..again, NOT
Lots of waste at CDC. Time to trim the fat.
Hey! Fat, Can't wait till some virus comes to trim you so I can watch you waste away. 🤣😂🤣 🆘🇺🇸
You sound nastier than any virus developed by faucci.
OH! & CAREFUL. You ARE showing & telling. 🆘🇺🇸
Why¿ Thank you. 😘 🆘🇺🇸
Anything to "own the libs" and prove that stupidity rules and not common sense.
Deport Musk!
Is this really what people who.voted for Trump wanted?
Just trying to kill off as many people as they can.
The insane fascists are hoping no one will notice the next pandemic? Like Trump said in 2020 during Covid: thehill.com/policy/healt...
Those f-ers!
Doesn't once again make us reliant on non US players? How does this Make America Great Again? Asking for a President.
We won’t get this expertise back.
Anyone else hope the rich get some terrible disease now . What do they think ? They breathe the same air . Go to crowded places . Come on karma !I really only mean 2 people Elon and Dump
Why is it always some crazy white guy, touting “Christianity” that sets us back hundreds of years in science?
Do they think their Jesus would approve?
Sadly, they don’t even understand who Jesus was. I’m not a religion fan, but I believe what Jesus stood for - just not the rest of the bullshit.
We are still struggling with a pandemic that has — so far — killed over 1.2 MILLION Americans. Now the tr*mp regime wants to cripple #PublicHealth and leave us defenseless. A foreign invader would be less destructive than these elected saboteurs.
A 10% cut of probationary workers does not constitute a deep cut. You'll survive.
Highly doubtful, the world got along fine way before the so called CDC was created by some knothead. Organizations just like this end up corrupted and controlled by liars who have ruined tons of lives for personal gains.
Do it. Let trump get what he wants. Amerikkkas need to suffer for their mistake.
💯 we are all going to suffer but I will still smile and laugh at those stupid aholes.
Exactly. I am so angry, heartbroken and terrified. I have no empathy left for the “Fvck your feelings” crowd. With each story of MAGAts suffering the consequences of their vote, I’m smiling and laughing like you. It’s called Schadenfreude and it goes great with a glass of wine 🍷.
They do want to kill us all.
Trump is still mad they would tell the truth about COVID.
Are you ready for the Outbreaks? Hospitals flooded with the ill Siren screams at night Truth's buried on the hill Out of mind out of sight Voices silenced by the noise Dissent snuffed out Health torn down like toys New world's filled with doubt suno.com/song/f072629...
What else do you expect from a moron..!?
I am struggling to understand how any of this possibly makes us anything other than diseased and dead.
Anybody else see moves like this an indication that they may actually want to kill us? How can we get this insanity to stop. CDC saves lives. Save CDC.
CDC has been pretty iffy for about 10 years now. Remember how they bent over for Trump during Covid? Remember how they lied about opiates and pain patients being responsible for fentanyl overdoses?
Yep. I’ve been saying this. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon an article about billionaires who were building nuclear bunkers. Musk was one of them. 😱 No one took me seriously at the time — they thought it was tabloid fodder. What do they know that we don’t?😭
That they don’t care about anyone but themselves. They are willing to decimate the earth if it means they continue on doing whatever they want.
💯. My biggest worry. Nuclear war.
youtu.be/ZMDp0hkIf2k?... "Billionaires have a new obsession: underground bunkers. They are building it all over the world..."
THANK YOU! I’ve been saying this for years. No one believed me then, but they do now.
7 years ago: "As Silicon Valley works toward an automated future, many fear that the resulting unemployment will cause the next economic collapse." youtu.be/K1zVAfE0YdA?...
Who is asking why this is being done? It’s NOT to save money….
It is a ploy to kill off the vulnerable.
Looks like they want disease to take care of the population that they can’t deport.
Canada, Australia and a ton of other countries will welcome these professionals with open arms. And we won’t be getting them back after maga dies.
I guess it’s a good thing we don’t have a bird flu pandemic on the horizon. Otherwise, we’d be screwed.
This is total bullshit.
Just a reminder that all these cuts to funding, and programs are illegal. A President doesn’t have that authority. Under the Constitution, Congress determines funding not the Executive branch. The President’s role is to faithfully execute on those laws. This a coup and power grab.
The orange man wants to be god. He will be sending us plagues.
well, is trump 2.0 going to beat the death toll of trump 1.0? If he does, he can blame it on the nutjob Kennedy and of course, never take the responsibility HE put him there. Measles outbreak is expanding. Bird flu mutating rapidly, several times now. Kids vaccines are at lowest levels in history.
Trump has dementia as well as being a sociopathic narcissist so he really doesn’t care. He is incapable of caring for anyone else and never will. It’s all transactional with him and he doesn’t see the plus side for himself.
Insanity 🤯 Just when we are on the cusp of another bigger pandemic... and who knows how many more will be upon us before we even see them coming.
The #GOP does not care
The GQP is a death cult. The good news is, when they gut the CDC, the majority of people who will die will be MAGAts. Culling the herd is a good thing.
The bad news is, everyone will suffer with bird flu & the new measles, TB & whatever else RFK brings back. How are we going to be allowed to travel internationally?
You may not be.
I’m going to Canada today. With any luck, I’ll get stranded there
Or ANYWHERE!🤬 🆘🇺🇸
hey dumbass "culling the herd" also means "effectively completely and totally setting collective human immunity back sixty years" that's not good news you fucking imbecile
Calm down sweetie.
... Meanwhile, cattle veterinarians are contracting bird flu and nobody can find or afford any eggs.
Well if there are bo eggs then no argument over egg prices. Kind of like testing for covid. 🤦♀️🙄 we are so screwed.
End of hope
How will public health workers and professionals receive information regarding what is going on in healthcare? This is going to dehabilitate the healthcare industry as we know it today. We are not Canada and it took Canada a long time to bring in a complete Healthcare System
@pattymurray.bsky.social @gluesenkampperez.house.gov Do NOT allow the Epidemic Intelligence Service to be abolished! We, the people, demand this service and NIH funding for research to continue!
We need to understand why he is removing any safeguards our country has. It gives him more power to dictate reality. Think back on the covid pandemic. Almost everything he said was countered be a reality check from these agencies. Same goes for climate change and voter protection.
I’m trying to reduce my cussing, but, what in the actual f*ck????? People will die!!!
My family is dusting off some meaty ones, like: they can go fkkk themselves in the a$$ with a rusty chainsaw. This is not the time to reduce cussing.
f*ck???? <---- this ain't cussing
Does anyone know —or can you estimate — how many people in the DMV and other regions—have been let go since January 19th? By region ? The local economy will crash. Can we tie this to particular republican legislators?
Great job, #MAGA! Can’t wait for the impending #pandemic! Please, have all the raw milk on us! #RFKJrPlagueDoctor
Wonderful, just in time for the final pandemic. Bigly.
Unsustainable actions
Ultimately, the U.S. will pay a high price for this. My condolences to all of the federal employees losing their jobs or having to work under this administration.
I never heard of this Epidemic Intelligence workforce during the whole COVID scare. What the hell did they do to mitigate the pandemic. I literally haven’t heard what they accomplished? The CDC did change the definition of ‘vaccine’ to fit the lack of effectiveness of them.
Omg.
Does that not constitute intentional homicide, grave disregard of human life, depraved heart or just plain evil!? Pure evil ...
#FAFO
Back to the 1800s.
😭 💔
It’s a death cult. The more of us die, the less spending they have to make. Unfortunately, they haven’t thought out the part the less taxes will be collected, also.
Less us more AI to replace the dead!
They haven’t thought through any of this. Rich does not equal smart. It equals greedy.
The new satanic panic and were are the sacrificial lambs.
im not sure they care about that. If they can make enough to serve their uber rich nationalist interests, why worry about how much is left for social infrastructure?
Yes because we are who lines their pockets 👀*crickets*
🤔😡😡😡 How in the hell are they getting away with this?
Republicans…
Correct
I’m certain they’ve either all been paid off or he dug up dirt on every one of them. It’s like the entire Republican Party have been hypnotized. It’s like some weird b grade sci-fi horror movie unfolding before our eyes.
Honestly, I think it's way more nefarious than hypnotism. They truly have turned into an authoritarian party. The likes of nazism, not far from them
Measles and H5N1 are celebrating.
We all watched Trumps failure to respond to a historical pandemic..This out of everything made me question voters ability to prioritize. Elected a man who ignored ALL warnings & proceeded to mislead Americans. Exported PPE, handed C19 tests to an adversary while states & hospitals begged 4 help.
Help! I sadly think that there is some satisfaction in watching a hero (America) fall. But please help those of us that never voted for this. We care about the most vulnerable and needy. We are not like him. America has been infected with evil and greed. The please help us.
Scorpio49-3 What you say is the saddest part-those of us who rejected trump from the start will be hurt along with the rest.The destruction of PublicHealth and USAID,when a new virus moves around the world we are all vulnerable.Pomposities like musk/trump see defense only as guys in uniform w/ guns.
We know it’s not everyone. It must be terrifying to watch things being dismantled at such a rapid pace and there doesn’t seem to be anything anyone can do about it, at least quickly enough to prevent irreversible damage. 🇨🇦
There’s no other reason but for foreign assets running our government.. it’s the Occam’s razor of explanations
😭
Absolutely tragic as we hand China the keys to the World Health Organization. We all know that Elon Musk is owned by China.
Sucks. I hope someone is figuring out how to save data before they start wiping it.
CDC gave up on preventing Covid in 2021.
You get bird flu! You get bird! You’ll get bird flu! You all get Bird flu…. Except for you, you get measles!
Not only are they wrecking indiscriminately, but they're creating a lot of unemployment...
Not a problem. It’s mostly Democrats that will be fired (“laid off”) and not rehired. MAGA cultists faithful to Trump will be offered all of these open cushy government jobs.
The heritage foundation has been recruiting for these positions for two years now. They have their people ready to go… Don’t assume they will be qualified, but there will be (white, cishet, evangelical) bums on seats.
Time to wear masks again. 😖
I expect they might outlaw mask-wearing before long 👀
He didn’t kill enough people in his first term so he is trying to kill more this time around.
It is ironic that the people who deny climate change are also in favor of cutting the CDC and other health agencies. The result is “tropical diseases” move north and we don’t have the resources to combat them.
Here's what I don't get: why??????
Because he's a vindictive asshole and the health professionals stood up to him and embarrassed him during COVID. Look no further than that.
Well Project 2025 syas they will use it to fund regime change. Maybe hire mercenaries?
Talk about crazy time and the lack of forethought.
Wow doesn’t GQP is pretty stupid / the people who die could be their own proud magas
Where are APIC, SHEA IDSA, AMA??? They need to be sounding alarms. Red lights flashing as this is going to get worse. Layoffs are only the start of the purge of science-based health
Now the GOP will be complaining that the gubmint is failing at these functions, so they’ll want to contract it out at a much higher price tag. Wash, rinse, repeat.
📌
It only took 53 days. Handpicked incompetents and doge is how he will do it. www-theatlantic-com.translate.goog/ideas/archiv...
I haven't heard much about Juan Hinojosa the only Democrat running for the 32nd district in Florida. Shouldn't he be amplified right now?
I just found out why. It is the 6th congressional district in Florida that is open. Please support this man. www.joshweil.us
Vandalism.....or worse?!
📌
Was the envy of the world.
We slide from the light of science to the darkness of ignorance.
So none of these idiots have seen Contagion or IDK gone through a global pandemic killing millions?
They have, but they didn’t believe it was real. Some lay in hospital and still thought it was nonsense. Mind boggling stuff!
Seems like the new and most dangerous vector of infectious disease is the Trump administration if that’s even what you can call this collection of fools.
This is what when MAGA Senators confirm a drug abusing brain worm eating, mentally ill man
Mask up. The United States has never been more vulnerable or less safe. No one’s coming to save us.
Trump loves For-Profit Institutions Every Pharmaceutical will thank him personally As Trump continues redirecting services from government non-profits to For-Profit companies, their company’s and personal wealth rises too For-Profit Pharmaceuticals win 🥇 Non-Profits lose Americans lose
But how high can the wealth continue to rise when no one can afford to buy the stuff? Or when no one's left to buy the stuff?
They are behaving as terrorists, shredding the institutions that keep us safe. the people who voted for this are the most harmed. They have been hammered with campaigns of misinformation for the last 10 years with severe consequences for us all. Republican leadership is afraid to stand up to them.
The felonous traitor won't let another pandemic get him down.
Look at every policy they’ve put in place. They are intent on clearing the US as they are Gaza. On top of the medical and social programs cut, they entered office with threats to the egg and dairy production. Their only actions were to stop reporting and to empty the fields and food factories of
Workers using ICE raids. That is unconscionable. Then they decide on having trade wars. Mexico provides 57% of US produce over 40% of fruit and nuts. There are people in office who believe in eugenics. And Musk is well known to fire the bulk production of his staff with every acquisition
They’re taking us all back to the dark ages
Great. So when the next pandemic hits, millions more can die. Trump voters, this is on you and him.
You’d think these people were hired by and work for tRump instead of the; PEOPLE..
Yes, but tax-cuts! Is that their excuse for their wrecking-ball actions?
People who voted for him and recently were laid-off probably didn't think that's what he meant by his campaign talk about "shrinking government".
It worked out last time…is a pandemic on schedule. These fuckers are disease and pestilence
I hope the GOP finds out firsthand what that means. First.
They think Jesus is going to keep everybody safe. Jesus, guns and alpha males.
FOR FUCK’S SAKE!
We're gonna die like medieval peasants.
The Trump regime is actively trying to kill us. Viruses don’t care about votes or party affiliation. Today’s actions will critically impact all Americans.
The problem with epidemics is they don’t care who they invade first. Could be absolutely anyone. Might be the down and out on the street who talks to nobody. Or it could be a president who speaks to politicians from all over the world. Wonder who stands the biggest risk ?
The depth of this ignorance sinks to depravity.
What virus? I dont see a virus. So it cant possibly hurt us.
Yeah, what could go wrong? #covid #measles #polio
The Feds don't give a fuck about us.
jointhepeoplesunion.com
It's unbelievable that a country that used to develop vaccines is wrecking its science base.
Now we have to reap what the uneducated has sown 😡😫
Maybe they want to kill us all to make room for real estate development
📌
Charmed I’m sure!
📌
The EU should hire them.
How insane do they want to be. Is there any adult in the room that is capable to stand up and call out the idiot in charge and his sidekick Musky. Every day is something that is just Crazy that is being done to try and destroy this country. Gutless Republicans are going into hiding avoiding voters.
Another global pandemic is going to hit America and this one will be worse than Covid. Would be great if it only took down Trump supporters. Unfortunately that is not possible.
It's coming, and it will make COVID-19 response quasi organized
No excuse.
Musk wants to cause great harm to the Earth in every way he can. His goal is not to help others. It is only to help himself and get to Mars. He wants to see a very deadly pandemic happen, the sooner the better. He is very powerful, and very evil.
a) how does this help him get to Mars? b) is anyone stopping him from going to Mars? If yes, why?
I believe the conventional wisdom is that the thing stopping him from going to Mars is the lack of a large population of slaves to do the difficult work of colonizing a hostile planet.
That’s what the brain chips are for. He’s a real nut job.
He is a Bond villain through and through.
He also thinks we’re living in a simulation
Ironic that Musk is too old to get to Mars.
Not too old to go. Too old to survive and return alive. So what’s the problem?
Win win. Unlikey to survive the variables of the one way trip.
Oh yes, who will be the accomplice to another outbreak and provide daily misdirection and misinformation about effective treatments?
Unbelievable alright. Oh the irony.
Well one good thing we will get rid of all the stupid people!
@mcuban.bsky.social : can you do something to give these people a job? We need a shadow CDC!
Putin did this to us.
No….we did this to ourselves. This is what the American people voted for…blaming the Democrats or the Russians is a fruitless attempt to distract you from the real problem, which is that the American people are gullible, easily manipulated, stupid, ignorant about the world, bigoted, and selfish.
We’re at war. Propaganda is a weapon of war. This is another attack.
You got that right. Democracy Dies in Dumbness.
If Russia had never helped Trump in his first campaign, he would never have won it. They used unfair methods that American campaigns are not supposed to involve because our people who are trained in psychology take an oath not to manipulate people by using that training. Psyops are an act of war.
They scraped personal data that no one was supposed to have access to, in order to microtarget their illegal foreign influence campaigns run by unethical use of psychological training, in which they leveraged the files they hacked from one of the campaigns, at Trump's request. Russia did this to us.
Russian illegal influence is the reason why to this very day some people will argue with you that Democrats not only stole the primary from Bernie, but "argued in court that they had the right to rig the primaries."
Twice.
It’s almost as if they want their population to die.
They really want us all to die.
Most republicans I know would rather not know a pandemic or outbreak is occurring, some tell me their faith in god will protect them and for me not to worry… lol
Well, it appears they forgot the part where,GOD helps those who help themselves.
