Natural immunity in response to ebola would not be a choice i would predict people making in this country, but they’re doing it with measeles, so fuck me I guess.
If it’s outside USA, The US administration doesn’t give a shit.
If it’s a democratic state in USA, The US administration doesn’t give a shit.
If it’s in a republican state in USA, The US administration doesn’t give a shit.The US administration doesn’t give a shit, unless they can make money on it.
Maga is all about soft eugenics. Let the weak die off. They are not ignoring it, they want it to happen, they want it to spread. RFK’s actions may be insane, but they do have a goal, mass die off the “weak”.

https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/readers-opinion/guest-commentary/article306387376.htmlThis idea is always funny to me cuz every maga believe none of them are weak and only dumb dems will get sick. As if diseases care about party lines…
It’s wild too cos of how many of them look like the floating blobs on wall-e
Come on he needs the distraction, covid did the heavy lifting first term and this term it’s been really hard pretending to care
While I think it’s stupid that the US isn’t helping, it does prove the point of their right wing: The rest of the world expects America to be in charge of fixing everything
It is not so much that they expect us to be in charge, as it is that we were in charge, then suddenly pulled out without any warning or planning.
Other countries are trying, but the US simply erased the core of the global health system which took decades to build.
without any warning
?
Things like this fall under the category of soft power, and the current crop of Republican leadership don’t understand that. Doing good deeds like this around the world ultimately come back to propping up the US economy, and keeping the lines pointing up. The current leadership doesn’t understand the need for this. They believe “American Exceptionalism” is self-perpetuating. They also see all that money going to “shithole countries” instead of theirs and their buddies’ pockets as a Very Bad Thing. Lines going up doesn’t matter unless they get their taste, and they’re too stupid to think of smarter methods of corruption.
We kind of chose to be in charge, so we could fix problems. Abandoning the job you volunteered for halfway thru your shift without telling anyone does prove a point… That Republicans are irresponsible, dickless, assholes.
Yeah, but you have other nations claiming to have the rights for some international leadership who aren’t doing anything either. Why aren’t China or the EU stepping in to help?
It is horrible that the USA isn’t helping, but a lot of other nations also aren’t helping.
I can’t speak to Europe, but for China, this throws a spotlight on the lack of US effectiveness and leadership and erodes our soft power. Which is a free method for them to gain soft power. Europe IS having their own increase in isolationism which is likely why they’re not moving on the world stage.
Yeah, but while China wants to state that their a global leader, a lot of their foreign policy is based on selling internationally the industrial output they overbuilt.
When the US goes in, for example, to Venezuela, kidnaps its president and turns the country into an oil colony, do you expect the US can also chip in with a box of gloves to an African country to help control an outbreak so we all don’t die bleeding from our eyes.
Fingers crossed it spreads to the US!
It would spread to dozens of countries before it could reach the US
If you’re rooting for the spread of disease, you might want to reconsider whether you’re the good guy here.
I never said I was a good guy.
Much edgy.
Thank you for noticing!
The insane part is that it won’t change much. They will still do nothing, except recommending bleach, or somehow put light into your body, and whatever madness they can think of, that cost the
governmentrich nothing.But think about how funny it would be!
