Leon Lied About Restoring Funding For Ebola Prevention

Elon Musk's claim that his Department of Government Efficiency initiative "very quickly" corrected an accidental cancellation of Ebola prevention funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development got a dose of reality Wednesday evening. The tech billionaire and DOGE head admitted to the snafu during the first cabinet meeting of President Donald Trump's new administration, where he conceded that his team would make mistakes " and promised to quickly correct them. "So, for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was Ebola prevention," Musk said Wednesday. "I think we all want Ebola prevention, so we restored the Ebola prevention immediately." There was a waiver for Ebola, but USAID funds have never been back online," one current agency official told the Post. "USAID has been frozen: staff and money."

I have actually heard MAGA leaders deny the germ theory of disease.

Recently.

A lot of you people are going to die.

Badly.

Leon suffers from OTM-Squared Syndrome (On the Mind Out the Mouth).
He doesn't know or care, but he lies.
A lot.
