Awful to see the steady dismantling of the CDC. There are doctors and science advocates coming together to scaffold and build up trustworthy sources of info outside of the CDC. I follow epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina and she has a great newsletter she started up around Covid and has kept going - https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/ She recommends the general public avoid the CDC web site now. She recommends healthychildren.org powered by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Some U.S. states have also partnered together i.e. the West Coast Health Alliance that have pulled away from the CDC recommendations. A friend of mine in health noted it’s a big reason why we (I’m in California) can still get our Covid vaccines regardless of age while her sister in Oklahoma was denied. I know there are some North Eastern states that have also partnered up. Going to be very different healthcare messaging to navigate state by state…
I mean, that ship sailed as soon as the brain worm guy was put in charge.
Ahem, the worms are actually the one in charge.
Yeah make fun of him for a medical condition, great I guess that’s cool because he’s a shitheel?
As an aside you don’t find it hypocritical to spread medical misinformation while mocking a dude for medical misinformation?
I recently heard someone say that the problem with making fun of a shitheel for something that they can’t help is that you’re also making fun of all the people with the same condition. And they don’t deserve that.
So I’ll apologize to all the people who have become disingenuous dipshits who deny all of science because a worm ate part of their brains.
Ironically, ivermectin (at a human dose) might have helped with that
The worm didn’t eat any part of his brain they push aside brain matter as a cyst until the cyst pops and then there can be some damage, they caught it before that so no issue. He just took some medicine, it died and his immune system flushed it out and brain matter moves back.
He had to disclose it in the divorce because for a time while the cyst is active and growing cranial pressure increases and you get symptoms like brain fog. So that’s what I mean by medical misinformation and being irresponsible in a similar way to the way he is.
You should just think about the people who have also been effected and realize you’re making fun of the condition not the man.
This guy is a piece of shit and my disdain for him does not extend to others who may also be harboring brain worms. I do, however, delight in his suffering hope that he burns in hell, which require me to 180 my view of religion and possibly end up there myself, but honestly, that would be worth it. This man needs to burn, along with his worms.
The worms are dead and gone, you’re just spreading medical misinformation and mocking the injury not the man.
You’re ok with making fun of medical conditions, that’s all you had to say no need to couch it as being righteous disdain.
Medical misinformation? Are you for real.
Yes, the “brain worm guy” was a shitheel before he got a parasite that in no way made him the shitheel he is. He was spreading medical misinformation prior to that and that type of cist generally doesn’t effect neurology in a major way, and it’s actually more common then you’d think in certain parts of the world. So yes, medical misinformation and just a generally shitty thing to do.
You’re just insulting other people that have had the same thing happen. How is that hard to see?
No one actually thinks the worms are in control, get a clue please.
I wouldn’t say no one idiots abound after all.
That isn’t really the issue though. Is it ok to make fun of people for medical issues.
There’s a reason why data hoarders were archiving the entire CDC website (amongst others) once Don won the election.
America is no longer trustworthy.
It’s dark that people think America can be saved at this point. Thats more ominous than americas collapse because it shows the truth of the people behind Americas culture…
You should hope that people have hope.
Look at what happened when the USSR fell. Genocide in the former Republics, a kleptocracy with nuclear weapons, and more.
Think all of the US arsenal will just vanish in a puff of smoke? Think the crash of the dollar won’t mean a world wide depression?
People do not comprehend how bad things will get if the dominant world super power collapses. This will be worse than the collapse of the USSR because at least the power vacuum there wasn’t basically the world police whether you think that’s a good or bad thing.
What the fuck does this even mean?
If you have cancer on your legs it’s worse than having it in your arms and then having to cut a limb, but it also depends on the person altogether. This fearmongering of if the US collapses, everything will be turned upside down is how the world has let the cancer spread.
There comes a time where you want to decide if you want to cut off the cancerous part and heal or die with the said cancer.
And talking about the power vacuum, China has more or less taken over in everything except where allies allowed US to deep embed themselves into. Also China’s authoritarian ethos mean there will be a significant push back where Europian union might see more support.
This may or may not playout as I say but the country that doesn’t think food is a human right should fall and burn to ashes.
As an American, yeah. The collapse of the US will be bad. However, if y’all ::gestures broadly at every other country:: cut us off, then it will be less bad for you.
“Hope for the best, prepare for the worst” huh?
I just think people don’t even understand what hope and faith are. They will vote and pay anyone for a sloppy heartless fix. It might be best if things collapse and turn to a real hell if it can at least be natural chaos. The universe can actually bring order to that. Humans trying to own and control life ruins it when they do it for the wrong reasons or let manipulated fear and emotion do their bidding.
Yeah, things aren’t going to go the way you think if it all collapses. It won’t be “natural chaos.” It’ll be a brutal probably decades long civil war. It’ll be unnatural chaos, as anyone who can tries to grasp for power. There will be checkpoints on every street and gorilla warfare all over. You’ll never be safe, and any expectation for a" normal" life you have will be destroyed.
That might be the way things go. It’ll still be better than if the Fascists actually maintain power. It won’t be what you think though. It’ll be the worse than you could possibly imagine. If you haven’t seen actual warfare then you can’t imagine what it’ll be, and even if you have it’ll be so much worse.
If that’s what we have to do then that’s what we have to do. I still have hope that there’s a way to bring things back without it though.
I do understand that… I mean maybe even centuries of war… famon, barely living…. The smell of death everywhere.
You remind me of Charlie Kirk.
He said that we had to have school shootings if we were goign to have a free society.
You think that millions dying is good because it’s ‘natural chaos.’

America’s inevitable collapse will be a global collapse. And the rich and big corpos will come out on top.
And we all paid for that to happen. That’s the saddest part.
Killing all the facets of government aside from military is their goal
jenny mccarthney jolted this movement for all those white midwest moms, who funnily believe in another pseudoscience thing.
Gee, ya think?
US Government sources in general should not be trusted in my opinion. The scientific basis and independence of all agencies of that government have been seriously eroded and should therefore never be taken at face value without verification from trustworthy sources.
I had lost a lot of faith in it following the COVID debacle, I would just look to the WHO and what other countries are doing. Tragically, these institutions aren’t allowed to be independent of politics, and it only undermines trust in science and medicine. One of the reasons fighting back politically is important, because even if you try to ignore it it will eventually ruin everything you care about.
