      No. It doesn’t

      Confirmed human case summary since 2024

      The year is currently 2025. And the CDC has been ordered by President Trusk not to publish any new data.

        It happened because biden illegally pardoned his son hunter biden, who is now going around chicken farms and sneezing on birds.

        What does “implement public health” entail or mean? Is this a process, best practices, an agency, something else? I’m not really sure what it’s referring to.

          Not sure how you could possibly not understand this:

          1.) You get a bunch of public health together in a big pile.
          2.) And then you implement it.

            I would suggest step 1b - set up guards around the big pile of public health, so that sick peole can’t steal public health before you can implement it.

              A neat trick is to keep some of the public health and put it in a Trap. Then when people come looking for public health they enter the trap and are now forced to pay for private health!

            Fascinating article. I like how they manage to simultaneously criticize the biden admin for: doing nothing and looking the other way, taking measures that aren’t going far enough and for monitoring interstate livestock transfers, imposing restrictions on sale, mandating culling and advising PPE and testing (like they’re… bad things?). It even cites CDC data on infection rates and then goes on to claim the CDC is sweeping this exact information under the rug.

            The Biden admin’s response was reasonable if unexciting, and was predictably opposed at every step by individual farmers and states alike. I’m honestly shocked there’s only been 61 cases so far, what with the right’s general attitude of “I will lick this dying chicken just cuz biden said I shouldnt”.

            Fucking hell that article is so openly biased it’s tripping over its own feet in it’s fervor to assign blame to Biden. Look, go check again and see how it uses citations. Tons of them to establish uncontested facts, almost none that support their conclusion. This feels a lot like the ground game to allow trump to blame lefties and Biden for the pandemic all while he’s actively dismantling all our safeguards against it.

            Don’t believe me? Here:

            Over the last four years, we’ve watched as disease minimizers took the reins of public health, prioritizing corporate profits and day-to-day business activities over human lives.

            Yeah, IDK, that description sure as fuck doesn’t seem to describe Drs. Cohen and Walensky or Sec. Vilsac (even though he is a craven pos in many other ways, he sure as fuck isn’t a “disease minimizer”), bidens appointees. So I’m left to wonder… who are they actually talking about? Where are these people biden had been letting sneak in to positions of agricultural or public health power? Because I’m pretty well versed in the subject matter and man, I actually cannot figure out where the fuck they’re getting this from.

                  Yeah, but we are mere mortals not enlightend Lizard-Man.

                  A friend of mine worked on statistics for COVID. Things like infection rate, mortality etc.

                  And I’m pretty sure he is going to commit a hate Crime if he is ever going to meet a Anti-Vaxer.

    I’m just not that “type” of person, so I’m truly holding myself back from saying something about this to my conservative relatives.

    Just like when Biden was president, I know for a fact that the price of eggs is not a thing that the president controls, but you would have thought it was based on how conservatives presented things the past 4 years.

    All of a sudden my conservative family and friends are either quiet on the topic or they’ve had a revelation that the prices are due to external factors like bird flu / supply & demand and that the current president has little to do with things. Funny how that works.

    They voted for the guy that said he’d lower prices. They voted for the guy that they swear “life was better under”.

    The difference is, I can afford as many eggs as I want at these prices without even noticing. They can’t.

      But didn’t you say it was blahblahs fault and not because of supply and demand, then just keep saying that while laughing at them, it wouldnt effect a normal person but shit like that breaks down maga ppl, you just gotta act like a bully on a playground, keep repeating yourself, dont let them speak, etc. they always break when you use their own tactics agains them insanely fast and kinda sad to see

        You’re not powerless, but those in power would much prefer if you believe there’s nothing you can do.

        Organizing and getting involved on a local level are some of the most powerful things we can do, as it lays the groundwork for creating a new system in the shell of the old.

        Here’s a handy guide on how to get started.

        Look for your local Food not bombs or mutual aid groups, they’re a great entry point into getting into the world of direct action, where communities attempt to solve problems without waiting and hoping that corrupt and ineffective government to fix it for them.

        If you live in a very rural area where you can’t find an existing group to join, I would implore you to try starting one yourself, hopefully with a group of like minded friends if you can.

        Building up your community and making genuine connections will pay off in dividends in the coming years, do not underestimate how powerful doing so can be.
