Is like he’s playing Plague in.
RFK Jr worships Nurgle: confirmed
If only we could have foreseen this when they hired an idiot off the street to be in charge of a nation’s health! No medical expertise whatsoever and doesn’t even believe in modern medicine!
If only people actually showed up to tick boxes on a piece of paper and stop this…
But he cooks up a mean roadkill…
So does my cousin Jebediah, doesn’t mean I’d trust him with a Crayola dry erase marker let alone a government agency.
Muricans, this is what happens when you choose ignorance and pettiness above all
The Venn diagram of Americans who use Lemmy and Americans who voted for Trump is just two separate circles
WE KNOW.
Well. Some of us, anyway.
There’s like fifty layers of context involved but the short version is that we’re currently losing the American Civil War that never properly ended because we didn’t hold the traitors to account. The nation hasn’t been this divided since we had separate drinking fountains for black people. I’d bet that most Americans on this platform did not choose ignorance and pettiness.
America should have just let the confederacy seperate. Then the confederacy would’ve collapsed in on itself and begged to be salvaged by America
Bad headline. It makes it sound like that flesh eating parasite only goes after cattle. It doesn’t. The New World Screwworm can infect any warm blooded animal. The fact that they found infected cattle means that there almost certainly are infected wild animals. Wild animals that can carry the infection many many miles before they die from it and spawn screwworm flies in a new area.
That assumes that some rancher in the area doesn’t decide to move their herd and transport infected livestock to another part of the country. That’s one way the parasite moved north from Central America so quickly.
- July 3, 2023: Panama declared a state of emergency. Just days later, Costa Rica followed suit.
- By the end of 2024: Every Central American nation had identified cases of screwworm.
- November 22, 2024: Screwworm larvae were discovered in a cow at the Mexico-Guatemala border crossing, approximately 700 miles south of Texas.
- July 9, 2025: A detection [was reported] in Veracruz, approximately 370 miles south of the US border.
- September 21, 2025: [A screwworm case was reported in] Nuevo León, only 70 miles from Texas.
If you are in an area with a known infestation, be very carefull.
- Keep open wounds clean and covered, no matter how small or location on the body.
- Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants, hats, and socks to limit exposed skin.
- Use an EPA-registered insect repellent.
- Treat clothing and gear with products containing 0.5% permethrin.
- Sleep indoors or in rooms or tents with screens.
Also, watch for symptoms, which can include:
- Unexplained, painful wounds or sores that do not heal.
- A foul-smelling odor or bleeding from the site of the infestation.
- Seeing maggots or feeling movement in open wounds or sores or in the areas of the body such as the nose, mouth, eyes, ears, or genitals.
You may be wishing you only had salmonella or explosive diarrhea before this summer is over.
His brain worm:
I would be so much happier if it turned out that the brainworm was responsible for all this mess, Las Plagas style.
Republicans Now Responsible for 35-Year Record High in Measles: Add that to the salmonella risk, the flesh-eating parasite infesting cattle, and the explosive diarrhea outbreak.
ftfy
So what a bunch of people with common sense knew would happen ended up happening? Color me saw this coming.
I’m joining the war on disease! On the side of disease!
Damn you voted for Trump huh, /s
America smells so great again.
But he solved autism!
Turns out it was the aspirin. Or whatever.
Tylenol
Gov bad. Does nothing for me. /s
He should be tarred and feathered, but at worst he’ll be allowed to resign with no penalties.
RFK is an idiot, and is enabling other idiots to do more idiotic stuff, but assuming the “flesh eating parasite infesting cattle” is the new world screw worm, that has been coming for years and cant be blamed on RFK… He is stupid enough on his own merit… we dont need to add to his list of incompetence.
And yet the latest cuts to the funding for prevention was under him
+use as propaganda “why are the democrates funding makeing and release of sterile flies? Our money could be used for something better then this nonsense”
