I'm sure future Trump Department of Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Junior has some cures bouncing around inside his skull. Maybe infect everyone with polio and brain worms?

I wonder if that's frightening enough to get MAGA to accept modern medical science?

Nah. If a million-plus dead during the last plagues hasn't fazed them, nothing will.

Bring out your (Republican) dead.

It was Chy-na.

Obviously.

We have no proof. And we can get no proof. But we don't need no proof.

It was Chy-na.

And Fauci.

Also. There are only 143 cases. Soon to be zero. And it will end when it warms up.

Science!

Ebola or Marburg would be pretty unmistakable to local doctors and epidemiologists

Flu like with headaches suggests encephalitis/meningitis to me, which can be caused by a number of emerging pathogens in that region.

Get your horse de-wormer now.

This was obviously weaponized by Fauci to make the orange clown look bad.

"Why are you such a whiny little b*%#*?"

Why are all Republicans sex predators and pedophiles? It is indeed a mystery.

Most importantly, what does the FL Surgeon General Lapdog-o think about it?

#16 | Posted by e1g1 at 2024-12-05 11:21 AM

yeah, probably Bird Flu or similar variant

Updated story with very different numbers but expanded list of symptoms.

Wouldn't be surprised if H5N1 finally made the leap to efficient human to human spread.
