Heinous—Trump WH/HHS is planning to likely destroy $500 million worth of stockpiled COVID tests. They could give it out for free, but then Trump and RFK Jr would have to admit COVID is serious. And minimizers don’t have the guts to admit millions died. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... - ThreadSky

When they say "the cruelty is the point", they really mean it.
How does this even make sense?

The better question is why didn't Biden admin give these out before Trump became President since it isn't surprising Trump wouldn't give them out?

golfgate.bsky.social•3 days ago

Charge 5 bucks for them Jesus man talk about gov inefficiency

dryhumorme.bsky.social•3 days ago

Had them outtttt!!!!!!

whiteelk119.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pretty damned efficient.

dishcommish.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's a Death Cult. Why do you think Trump is always fantasizing about death and chaos? He is amused and entertained by the suffering of others. He is a demented man surrounded by other broken, demented men and a few pathetic women.

afnoreally.bsky.social•3 days ago

I ordered my covid tests after the election. I lost my job after Nov 5 & opted to cash out my retirement so that trump's fucks couldn't get their hands on it. Glad I did. Now I'm procrastinating on my taxes &car registration because at this rate, I don't think the US will exist. ANONYMOUS, PLZ Help!

dryhumorme.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agree. I'm looking only 20 yrs ahead. Im 50. This is terrifying and exhausting. Stress will kill us.

I expect Donald will sell them to Russia and TELL US they've been destroyed...
Someone should put some trackers in some of the tests

They are hellbent on doing the most horrible things they can find to do.

The Trump White House is at war with the American people. Trump is a far graver threat to you and your family than Hitler ever was.

For those who need to order free kits, they still appear to be available for now.

Well they kinda admitted it. In the MAHA EO they used preCOVID life expectancy, even when postCOVID numbers would have helped them make their point.

Dear @washingtonpost.com

Why do you support/praise this fvckin orange asshole & his cruel & stupid behavior? Does it appeal to you? Are you impressed by cruelty & stupidity & cant criticize it or push back? He literally wants to harm us.

itcamefromthe216.bsky.social•3 days ago

You do realize WP is now owned by Jeff Bezos, who supports Trump/DOGE, right?

Can someone on our side get the contract to haul these away? And then do the right thing and use the money from that contract to ship these to community health clinics nationwide?

why don't they use it on the chickens - they want to give them vaccinations

Eh.. because H5N1 isn't SARS Cov2?

crkrjx.bsky.social•3 days ago

was being snarky about an administration that doesn't believe in vaccinations or science

Sry. The frustration sits deep with us. Even here in Europe.

noname4u.bsky.social•3 days ago

Or give it to the hospitals they're defunding through Medicaid cuts.

chicagomike.bsky.social•3 days ago

Bet they're destroying $500M worth of covid tests to save a couple million dollars in real estate expenses.

This takes pro life to another level.

justin42.bsky.social•3 days ago

Probably a good time to point out you can still order tests. Who knows if they'll honor the requests at this time but the site might be taken down any day now.. https://covidtests.gov/

zolascola.bsky.social•3 days ago

What the actual???? How hard would it be to distribute them to community centers and community health centers, and let the centers give them out for free. That way the gov't doesn't have to call big attention to it (which they don't want to do), but there would still be BENEFIT FOR THE PEOPLE.

Are they actually trying to kill us?

bigbriguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think so.

itcamefromthe216.bsky.social•3 days ago

Again. They were actively trying to kill a certain section of the voting bloc in 2020 so that Trump could win his second term then, until he realized that it was his own voting bloc that was dying in droves.
