History is a really good teacher.

If we pay attention to her, she reminds us that populations don't become monstrous overnight, that nations don't abandon humanity in a single moment.

Collective sickness usually follows a pattern and we’re seeing it now.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

And so the anti-vax campaign begins. The flu vaccine saves countless lives every year. That is a fact. They want to harm us.
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

A lot of us feel like we've been in a horrifying wreck. Shocked, hurt, facing loss. In fact, we've been deliberately hit.

In a reckless move that could put countless Americans at risk, CDC cuts are expected to devastate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health EIS officers tasked with investigating disease outbreaks and health threats in the U.S. and abroad.

This is a public health catastrophe. And Mitch - you are responsible for ALL that has come to pass. Your votes now are nothing burgers, you traitorous, power hungry, soulless F! There will be a big picture of you in the history books as the chief enabler of fascism setting root in America.

Forcibly removing people from their homeland - very “majestic”. What utter monsters they all are.

This is corrupt, shameful and an utter embarrassment for the US. We should be leaders on global health initiatives. Instead we are actually causing harm.
