"We" hate it when we are right!

[yellow dahlia]

Elon and the Grifter decimated USAID, and now there is a break out of the Ebola Virus. The surveillance usually provided by the presence of health and humanitarian agencies is missing. There is a shortage of staff and supplies. This is bad! This could become significantly worse. Ebola is spreading like wildfire. Now what!?

Fuck you Elon and DJT!!!

1. This is their goal.

Ridding the planet of the weak, sick, poor.

The billionaires believe every resource in the world belongs to them.
And they are not going to share.

[yellow dahlia]

2. "We" have seen evil.

"We" hate them.

[Irish_Dem]

4. The last time the planet saw such widespread pure evil like this was WWII.

An estimated 85 million people were killed in WWII.

[yellow dahlia]

5. And to think we thought it couldn't happen again.

[Irish_Dem]

6. We were so naive weren't we?

Our fathers risked their lives to beat back evil and won.

We didn't know it was only temporary.

[B.See]

22. SOME thought it couldn't happen again,

despite all the warning signs.

Which, in part, explains how it HAS.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Yes we thought we had won against evil forever.

But we found out that evil never goes away.

[B.See]

24. I didn't.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yes. Good vs Evil is the iconic human condition.

The battle never ends.

[debsy]

19. Exactly

[Hey Joe]

28. BINGO!!!

[Beartracks]

34. Isn't population reduction and control the very thing anti-vaxxers accused Democrats of during COVID?

Yet here we are: USAID eliminated to "save money" (i.e. funnel cash to things like ballrooms and wealthy donors) and then people die from lack of USAID funding, thereby "decreasing the surplus population" (as Ebenezer Scrooge would say) which eliminates the reason to ever restore that funding and removes the need for Republicans to feel guilty about it (if they ever did).

3. I think I heard 300 dead so far.

[yellow dahlia]

8. Probably just a drop in the bucket. Ugh!

[applegrove]

10. How colossally stupid and evil it was to pull out USAID money.

If this strain of ebola makes it to the West the death rate will be way more expensive in money and lives than prevention would have been. Some day, in some outbreak, it will hit Mar A Lago. It surfaces a few times a year in a few places, and evolves in Africa as it is. Take away health resources and you will pay in the end. And a travel ban like the one the US put up already won't stop the spread. It will only slow it down for a time.

12. The Grifter leaves nothing but devastation and destruction and death in his path.

He is a monster.

[the nelm]

13. And, dare I say, that their racism had no iota of consideration in their decision. /s - nt

[MLWR]

29. What has he done that isn't "stupid and evil"???

[BonnieJW]

30. I heard about doctor who treated and survived

the disease speak about ebola. He said it is not passed through the air like covid. Usually, caregivers catch it, so it takes very close contact.

[wnylib]

33. I read that it spreads through contact with bodily fluids

which is why caregivers and other people in close contact with an infected oerson are so vulnerable to catching it.

So it looks like protective clothing and gloves would be essential in an outbreak.

7. NACHO havoc on stopping ebola. so a double dim donski.

[OGBuzz]

9. Estimates are that 762,000 people, including 500,000 children, have died so far

due to cancellation of USAID programs. The world's richest man must be very proud of himself. All the more reason to never buy or support anything that Musk is involved in.

[yellow dahlia]

11. Yup. It makes my blood boil.

Nicholas Krystoph has been chronicling the collateral damage.

[Bev54]

14. How I wish someone could kidnap both of them and drop one in the Congo

and the other in Uganda and wish them good luck.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Evil.

[kimbutgar]

16. I want karmic payback and Elon and 🍊🐖💩 get Ebola !

[niyad]

18. GMTA!!!

[niyad]

17. May they contract fatal cases themselves.

[BidenRocks]

20. They forgot one thing.

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small, world!

[yellow dahlia]

21. They don't feel the connection to the world around them.

They live in a myopic miasma fed by power and narcissism. I hate them!

[The Blue Flower]

26. Pustules of rottenness

Both are poison and deserve whatever painful end they come to.

[yellow dahlia]

32. Unfortunately there will be no accountability that matches the evil destruction.

[yorkster]

27. There should a massive investigation of

Musk and the DOGE boys if we win in Nov.
Among other things, we have to start the full exposure of the massive scope of what this regime has wrought while Trump is still in office.

[yellow dahlia]

31. Exactly. So much destruction!

Will there be any accountability?

How do we rebuild and how long will it take?

[yorkster]

35. I heard somewhere on MSNOW that

Hillary Clinton was saying we need to focus on Afffordability AND Accountability.
She's damn right. It will be a huge undertaking, but we cannot just "look forward ".

[Timeflyer]

36. Book "The Hot Zone," by R. Preston 1994 is non-fiction account of Ebola's origin and a terrifying outbreak

in 1989. We had fully functioning CDC and other public health institutions back then. If it happened now, under Brainworm's Dept. of Health...scary as hell to imagine.

[yellow dahlia]

37. Thanks for the book rec.

I have worried about this scenario since the "take over".
