CDC Halts Testing for Smallpox, mPox, Rabies Viruses

Effective 30 March 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has temporarily paused rabies, smallpox, and mPox virus testing.

The CDC typically confirms infectious diseases for state and local public health laboratories that are not equipped to conduct them.
DOGE cuts, layoffs, and hiring freezes have crippled the CDC. Many researchers have departed for greener pastures, either to universities, overseas, or to local or state public health agencies.

By July, the CDC rabies team will be down to just one person with the clinical expertise to advise state and local officials and the pox virus team will have none.

Good-for-nothing James O'Neill, the Acting Director of the CDC, has no medical background whatsoever and once worked for nefarious mega-oligarch Peter Thiel.

Recall that immediately after seizing power on 20 Jan 2025, besides pardoning 1,500 degenerate misfits that viciously attacked the US Capitol on 6 Jan 2021, Dummkopf Trumpf withdrew the US from the World Health Organization (WHO).


52 US Senators confirmed this madman to be Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

There's something darkly insane about these people. Either that, or someone is paying them to hurt us. Which would confirm that darkly insane thing.

I mean, seriously. Were all these people dropped on their heads as children? Is there any god-damned serious issue that they don't approach ass-backwards? This contrarian idiocy bespeaks a hatred of authority when, of course, they are the authority figures. It translates into an opposition to actual civilization.

They obviously want us sick, and they obviously want us poor. They obviously want us humiliated in the eyes of the world. If they are not somehow getting paid for this destruction, I am at a loss to explain it.

"If you don't test, the cases go down."

This is the stupidest fucking administration in history.

Bar none.

The only thing worse than this one is a third term of this bullshit.
