man this is so annoying. actions like these there is no getting back to where we were. Stopping the vaccinations down south is a genie we can’t get back into the bottle.
Measles are back, screw worm is back, just like the conservatives promised, we’re back to how things were in the 1950s
Unfortunately, the emergency response team was fired in February.
Yeah. With this budget it’s two guys waving a placard on the on-ramp.
But you can sleep soundly knowing that your taxes are $0.50
lessmore this year.
Ah they’re just nostalgic for when they threw out the pandemic response plan Obama made prior to covid.
rfk jr only wants the worms to invade.
This was preventable, but US healthcare is only reactionary.
i dont think this involves humans, only other animals.
Didn’t DOGE cut the budget to control these things?
oh now it’s emergency, not when the working containment plan was shitcanned and failed shortly after

Human infestations are rare
Yeah, because we had this shit under control. Human infections were much more common before screwworm was being tracked, the US was releasing sterile flies, and the US realized that flies don’t give a shit about your borders, so you need to treat all of North America.
I honestly didn’t think we had a CDC anymore
It’s just one guy with a bucket of horse paste and unpasteurized milk.
The horse paste is dewormer right. So it has to work /s
Ironically, It does work in this case. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic, not just a dewormer. It kills screwworm larvae and is being authorized as a treatment for real here.
Just another “what are the writers going to think of next” element to throw into this crazy timeline.
Its gonna be a 180 on Ivermectin and they’ll switch to bleach lol
Maybe we can convince them that COVID vaccination does the trick.
probably slow the spread but it likely wont stop it in its tracks. since they dont have a sterile fly facility up and running yet.
Gunna git me a barrel of the stuf at tractor supply. Jist in case.
it still exist, so rfk jr can peddle pseudoscience/alternative care to children, whom he has an obsession with.
The name “screwworm” is really offensive. He’s a member of the Kennedy family, after all.
It’s more of a descriptive as in
We are screwed
We still have a CDC?
Yes, but they now serve fried chicken.
We finally have the Centers for Delicious Chicken?
11 herbs and ground racoon penis powders!
Trump Worms
Know what’ll fix this? More tariffs
Did you say bring back DOGE and BigBalls?
Feed Elon to the worms
Has RFKjr told the CDC that they need to promote Ivermectin as a treatment for screwworms?
Oh no, what are we going to do with the consequences of our choices? Screw it…
