American citizens are much more unsafe in tfg's amerika thanks to rfk jr's control of HHS, hegseth at dod, gabbard at Intel, Musk gutting the government including fema, etc. If our health doesn't fail, we're far more vulnerable to another terrorist attack or another natural disaster.

Does this really surprise anyone?

As someone who worked in public health, AIDS education/tobacco treatment/addiction treatment, I am devastated for what this means for our people and country. Thank you to the staffs for their tremendous work over the past 40 years.

Cruelty and death are the point. He wants to be King on a pile of bones.
He literally Is, Exactly what the christians call The Anti-Christ, and yet The same folks who call themselves christian worship him like god.
The CDC is only one loss of so many more. I'm sad.

This is directly related to “if you stop testing, the numbers won’t be so high” right?

For people to die is the intent of the Trump admin. Each and every one.

I get that the legislature is controlled by the same party but it's so wild to see a coequal branch of government so willing to give up its power to the executive branch.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•2 days ago

And that's the whole point. The Psycho Broligarchs who bought the government believe they're immortal, or will be after they become "trans-humans." And that they'll have robots and AI to serve them in their Network States. And that the rest of us should become extinct.

I wish I was joking.

Completely heartbreaking. Yes. People will die due to these eliminations.

For the rest of my life I’ll never fathom how even one American was willing to vote for the racist rapist insurrectionist bigot pig who’d already robbed American women of our most basic liberty - the ability to control our own bodies. They’ve doomed the country.

I know it's childish, but I like to picture each of these greedy fascists dying from a preventable disease, or a form of cancer that was about to be cured but they fired the scientists.

elnordon.bsky.social•2 days ago

I was really rooting for Covid in the Trump V Covid match of 2020 but these ppl always come out ahead somehow

saneenglish.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, it was a close one though. So he's had two strikes--covid and the ear thing.

elnordon.bsky.social•2 days ago

My fear is the third strike, whatever that may be, will take us all with him

saneenglish.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yikes. Quite plausible.

phillow.bsky.social•2 days ago

The US covid deaths under Trumps last term will pale to the body count that's coming. How much is enough?

I used to work down the street from the CDC. I also can't imagine what this will do to Atlanta's economy.

liberaloifveteran.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yup and it’s the frosting. They gutted IT, HR, admin, middle management, upper management, and so on. There was no regard for what people worked on, their performance, or if they were mission critical. All they did was look at job titles, which never paints the full story.

When CDC staff showed up at an outbreak in some far away place I always felt good about being an American (I really had nothing to do with it, but they were my team. Yah, CDC!) That is gone now and it's very sad. If I believed in such things, I'd think Trump is possessed by the Devil.

lorihjschaffer.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yet more corruption, destruction, and fraud by DOGE, Musk, and the Trump administration. Our tax dollars are being redirected from public services to the interests of the rich. They are milking the American taxpayer for private wealth with their illegal actions.

We can only hope now that ALL of the Republicans who supported this, and especially Trump and his cabinet and appointed officials who wanted to get rid of the agency that *controls* the spread of disease, GET REALLY FUCKING SICK WITH ALL KINDS OF DISEASES AND DIE. (sorry for screaming)

paul-mercury.bsky.social•1 day ago

Putin ordered this. He wants us all dead.

Everything Donald has done since January has served to make us weaker, poorer, and more isolated. It’s a slow moving act of war against the USA, carried out by a Russian asset.

Why are people not doing everything in their power to stop this? Don't give me the nonsense that there is nothing they can do. There is so much they can do. The least is to refuse complying.

I helped a co-worker with her son's application for his dream job at the CDC, and today I find myself hoping he never got that job, rather than having this happen.
