I wonder if you can get Ebola and measles simultaneously...

..,Accidentally, you mean? Hypothetically?

In the train wreck of a country the US is right now- (hypothetically) I am envisioning Ebola coming in from the east and overlapping with measles from the west. 🫠

Horrifyingly possible

I mean measles is in New Jersey now, sooo yeah. I'd say even possible within the month.

President Musk admitted today at his cabinet meeting that he “accidentally” cut Ebola aid, then lied, claiming it was restored. USAID says no funds have been released since Trump’s freeze. Just another brilliant example of his “efficiency.” 🤨

PS oh, yeah, they're talking of revoking $590M to Moderna for Bird Flu vax which is ready for stage 3 testing.

FUCK REPUBLICANS!

Republicans are trying to kill us all. Bird flu has jumped to mice and rats, and Trump has killed the CDC and left WHO.

FUCK REPUBLICANS!

Trump & Musk, etc. do not understand that the USAID program is of critical importance; created to serve humanity, and is actually for our benefit as a world leader? They are so egotistical that they believe that only programs that they personally created have any value.
