I swear to god if this becomes a pandemic I’m going to believe that nature hates that orange shithead

davidcavlovic.bsky.social•165 days ago

I smell lockdown…

jwhickory.bsky.social•164 days ago

Oh wonderful. A new pandemic. Perhaps tRump shouldn't be President?
Hmmmm?
Maybe...
🙁

atlasperspective.bsky.social•164 days ago

I can't help but thinking that COVID was the Earth giving us a chance to get our priorities straight, and seeing that a large portion missed the point, it is returning with a more painful lesson.

alienjawdee.bsky.social•164 days ago

Close all borders and don’t let Americans out.

affirm-safety.bsky.social•165 days ago

With incoming administration a pandemic like Covid will be particularly devastating to their science denying voters. The incoming government doesn't believe in masks or vaccines so they will not recommend them.

ljdr48.bsky.social•165 days ago

If bird flu gets to Alberta we’ll treat it with tinfoil hats, horse pills and CONvoys. Freeeeedumb!

ooooh with the fucktards just rolling into their new cribs, too. this is gonna be f u n . (not)

jessicatg2005.bsky.social•164 days ago

The thought on another worst case pandemic scenario with trump scares the shit out me too.

#vaccination is the key

jds-bv.bsky.social•165 days ago

RFK Jr. will surely handle this one flawlessly.

fresh-air5.bsky.social•164 days ago

Seriously, this virus is killing dairy cows in central California. So many that they can’t bury them fast enough. Go ahead and drink that raw milk.

egandale.bsky.social•165 days ago

Don’t expect the felon to keep America safe.

papaman50.bsky.social•164 days ago

I pray that does not happen. We have witnessed how Trump handled the last one. He lied to the Nation to protect himself and he allowed quack doctors to recommend ways to handle the virus.

island-plinker.bsky.social•165 days ago

Of course when you have a virus that is contagious while being asymptomatic cannot be natural.

warmarrer.bsky.social•165 days ago

Cannot be natural??? HIV? Herpes? HPV? Hepatitis? There are dozens of viruses with long incubation times that are transmissible months or years before the host becomes symptomatic and they predate modern science.

island-plinker.bsky.social•165 days ago

However manipulating the heterocyclic organic compound or the furan of a DNA is not

I forget sarcasm cannot be read on text 🙄

warmarrer.bsky.social•165 days ago

Haha my bad, I didn't pick up on sarcasm in the slightest in your post. I've had coworkers come at me with stuff like that recently too, so maybe I'm primed to believe statements like that are unironic.

island-plinker.bsky.social•165 days ago

I feel you

wayne-unknown.bsky.social•164 days ago

When another pandemic appears at tRump’s doorstep, maybe nature is sending us a message.

semch.bsky.social•165 days ago

What would you do if wild birds slept in the blinds box, 2 metres from your own bed?

ribbla.bsky.social•165 days ago

Imagine another two years of Trump lockdowns. What a fiasco and failure!

frazazel.bsky.social•165 days ago

Good thing we're hot off the heels of the previous one. We learned so much about how to handle them! /s

ford427stroker.bsky.social•165 days ago

With traitor trump and anti vaccination cultists in charge of this country, this next pandemic will kill millions of Americans...I guess it's called MAGA..

thecorcrowman.bsky.social•165 days ago

And this is your brain after 50 beers

ford427stroker.bsky.social•165 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...I can dance better than the orange blockhead even after 40 beers, and I don't drink😁

1mountainmama.bsky.social•164 days ago

Interesting how another pandemic is on the horizon just when Trump will be President again. I'm sure there will be those who will blame it on the Democrats again.

ziggyzapf.bsky.social•164 days ago

I've joked that MAGA is a cult of Nurgle, Chaos God of Disease, eager to neglect and sabotage basic measures to prevent epidemics. It's feeling much less like a joke, now.

braq88.bsky.social•165 days ago

Watch Trump bungle this one too.

readmylips55.bsky.social•165 days ago

Stay tuned! What could go wrong with RFK Jr and the “herd mentality” guy looking after things?

Maybe the CDC and NIH staffs should all resign on 20 Jan 2025, and let Vivek, Elon and Marge handle this.

rockerboy.bsky.social•164 days ago

The orange felon is a crisis magnet

emotionalotter.bsky.social•165 days ago

I wrote the emergency plan for our business over a decade ago because of the bird flu. That plan helped us ensure supply continuity for Covid. I really hope we never have to use it again. Folks don’t realize how close we came to running out of oxygen for medical use.

frank21y.bsky.social•165 days ago

Amazing lab creations mucking with nature to assure profits

mely-me.bsky.social•165 days ago

They usually try to avoid mass death since it reduces profits, but sure.

indeliblerage.bsky.social•165 days ago

Shut down the country and wear masks!!

margaretreed.bsky.social•164 days ago

I can remember about this time five years ago, someone (sciencey, can’t remember who) on Xitter was taking about this new virus that was looming. He was trashed by all the comments. A few months later, shut down.

madsaint25.bsky.social•164 days ago

Don't worry, the orange Jesus will take care of it like he did COVID.😡

Punishment for electing the tangerine turd.

genxstoner.bsky.social•165 days ago

Undoubtedly, the United States stands well-fortified, its institutions sturdy, its resolve unwavering, and one trusts that the newly inaugurated president shall not preside over a calamity of such grievous magnitude as to claim another million souls unnecessarily.

Or, we are absolutely fucked.

simunsezscience.bsky.social•165 days ago

What did HE learn from the last round? What did WE learn???

genxstoner.bsky.social•165 days ago

He learned nothing. We learned he doesn't care how many die due to his narcissism.

badluckbatman.bsky.social•165 days ago

Well at least the new president is going to cut funding for research and vaccines. Whew.

chaz1951.bsky.social•164 days ago

Perfect time to appoint an anti vaxxer to head HHS !

w4ngthunder.bsky.social•164 days ago

Didnt both the US and Canadian govts do a lot to protect against/prepare for a bird influenza outbreak? Like iirc we were ready for a pandemic but not one like covid.
Idk the french eat pigeons so were probs fine right…?

zynde.bsky.social•164 days ago

Follow the science

cargodrift.bsky.social•165 days ago

Vancouver area residential real estate wouldn't become affordable for average Canadians even if it was the epicenter of an apocalypse level cataclysmic event.

gruntzman.bsky.social•165 days ago

Not a problem. The guy who thought the lockdown was stupid will be running the NIH.

richardrv.bsky.social•165 days ago

I was at the post office the other day and this woman behind me started sneezing and wiping her nose on her sleeve.
So I took a STEP away from her.
She takes a step closer! 😡
Next time I'm wearing my MASK.

alicenwonder33.bsky.social•165 days ago

Seems like the World might be responding to the Orange Goblin trying to kill an infection..

conservativevalues.bsky.social•165 days ago

Quick, everyone get another shot with boosters to follow for years

ziggyzapf.bsky.social•164 days ago

Still got a stock of masks and faith in the scientific method. I'm ready to take every precaution.
