Posting this with the comment that the administration is trying to kill us got me banned on Reddit…again.
As for the vaccine they said they were stopping the research because the mRNA vaccines weren’t tested enough…you know other than the billions of doses already given and also the testing you’d do in… research…for a new vaccine.

Cancelled all research because not enough research has been done. Aside from the fact that the whole justification is a lie, are fascists always this stupid?
Oh well, they’ll find a way to blame scientists when the pandemic kicks off. And this pandemic could be far worse than COVID, even if we had the vaccine research they just defunded.
Avian flu’s mortality is orders of magnitude higher than Covid’s. It’s like 60% or something like that. If you get a pandemic it will kill billions. The vaccine would help a lot in the early stages as it would prevent the virus from infecting more people. The more people it infects the higher chances are it will mutate and get more contagious or deadlier or both.
Good thing the US admin has people monitoring the situation(that’s a joke, we’re fucked).
Don’t worry about it, you will be able to get vaccines developped in Europe, Asia or Africa. The tarriffs will no doubt be minimal. Besides if you don’t test for it you don’t have any known deaths from that.
Big pharma either has HQ in the EU, or fully functional labs, manufacturing, trials, and regulatory submissions to EMEA. The US might get fucked, but the vaccines should still come through.
It still hurts the whole world if there is a reservoir of 340 million unvaccinated Americans for the virus to infect and mutate in. Though if this thing gets going that number would rapidly come down, but not in a good way.
Republicans have cancelled the government-funded monitoring, vaccine research, disaster preparation and disaster response capacity. It is the absolute most stupid, short-sighted and self-destructive thing a government could do when all the signs are that this is ready to go pandemic at any moment, and potentially be the deadliest thing humanity has experienced in centuries, or, in fact, ever.
this pandemic could be far worse than COVID, even if we had the vaccine research they just defunded.
The (up to) 90% fatality rate in cats that have caught the current strain of bird flu was enough for me to know this could get damn serious
Trump Flu is gonna be a big one, huh.
The only way to prevent the spread of bird flu, is to eat bird roadkill.

At this point it will become more and more likely that RFK will be patient zero.

Because of course.
Why do you keep reposting this over and over?
You only need one. I think I counted 6 in news. Is this bot shit looping?
Something odd is happening. I just crossposted it to politics, and it showed up there twice.

@fwdbias why is dystopia so freaking boring than the video games?
Because in a game the player can often affect the dystopia. In real life people can’t change anything that the rich and powerful have initiated.
Also games have story plots, not just crime plots
@HellsBelle bullshit.

@Alex does @ing people change our social power structure?
Somebody mentioned that the mastodon clients do that.

Ten months and only three comments, all with a generated @name… Pretty sure you do, pal
We’re still in the prolog friend. You ready for the opening sequence?
I imagine things were boring for civilians in the Fallout setting before the bombs fell.
