The screw worm comeback started in 2023. The wall of protection in central America failed and now it's like starting from scratch. It's going to take a much bigger effort to contain. I don't know why the wall failed in central America, but it's probably generally related to economic and political instability. Is that Biden's fault? Could be, but probably only in the indirect sense that they could have noticed the issue and done something to prevent it. It almost certainly would have happened under any other president as well, but politics is going to do politics things so blame will get bounced around depending on the narrative you want to focus on.

This is probably Biden's fault somehow.

The Trump administration disbanded the crew monitoring the Screwworm, and then this happens. I wonder if there is a correlation?

Excellent, so do we have to throw the Texas out ourselves or will someone take care of that?
