HHS stopped operations at Ft. Detrick lab: the NIAID Integrated Research Facility which studies infectious diseases has been ordered to stop work. No one knows why.

What? Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t they research the worst of the worst viruses to try to defend against them. Why in the hell would these lunatics do that?
Yes. But we don't want to acknowledge that something like Marburg, Ebola, or nameless Sao Paulo might come to America. It would upstage Trump and take the spotlight off him and his agenda. Look what COVID did to his first term. We were caught with our pants down. If we don't acknowledge its existence, we don't have to deal with it and he doesn't have to be embarrassed by it. Just let it burn itself out. There's also a conspiracy theory that COVID came out of the Wuhan virology lab so shut 'em down. Finally, Kennedy doesn't recognize vaccines. If you're not going to develop them, you don't need to study the virus. Just take Vit. A. Lunatics indeed.
Well said. Also, he has beat the rap so many times, I guess he is convinced himself that he shapes reality around him. That kind of delusional thinking has led to uncounted misery.
The Japanese Army and naval infantry in WW2 convinced themselves that superior samurai martial spirit could overcome overwhelming firepower. They were grievously mistaken.
If world events out of our control break ok, then maybe we all get through this somewhat ok, despite this lunatic and his disgusting lackeys. If they break bad, like, say, a novel virus that is as contagious as Flu, but with an overall fatality rate of 20%, then we’re fucked. He’s gonna deny it is here, and it will be gone in 30 days. Blah, blah, blah, while the morgues overflow, and the grocery store shelves are truly empty.
Greg--pretty bleak picture, isn't it? There's so much focus on what Trump and his sycophants are doing right now, and it will be bad for the country. Just wait until the wildfires get started this summer with all the devastation they cause. Add to that a sudden mutation that allows avian influenza to jump into humans and cause another pandemic and we're cooked in the hot zone. Trump has a very short, selective memory--he was shocked when he saw those big white refrigerated trucks being loaded with body bags at a Brooklyn hospital, just 10 miles from where he grew up.
However, these viruses make many microbreaks before they truly dig in. Maybe it will be ok. Maybe not. Just stock up on Vit. A. /s

Half this country deserves better.
