Y'all are gonna call me a conspiracy theorist but there's legit no way the CDC or somebody out there doesn't have some good indication on what is causing this by now. Like somebody out there could name them but they're refusing to because they believe it will do more harm than good.

This is just sad. This is one of those cases where the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Please, somebody—anybody that can leak what products have this—please just leak it. For the love of ravioli please somebody end this. We literally have shitty healthcare. I can't be going through this for months on end. I don't even have that much PTO.

Either get Trump and his Klan to piss off for good or do the right thing and leak it.

Trump gutted the department whose job it was to track this parasite.

Just like he gutted the pandemic response team before COVID. And the team that followed screwworm before the screwworm epidemic.

He’s time and time again showing why these departments exist, by releasing the face-eating leopards and then acting shocked when leopards started eating faces.

He's a pants shitting object lesson with measles of how the govt is connected to people's daily lives. Also a stark reminder of the difficulties of extracting people from cults and abusive relationships

They literally stopped tracking the pathogen that is causing this. They know what’s causing it, but they stopped caring a good bit before this started.

it's funny how every time this orange bag of shit takes power people get sick.

now I'm not insinuating that their inability to govern is causing this, and I'm not saying the corruption they allow is doing it either.

what I am saying is that the president of the united states is willingly killing Americans.

It’s a parasite we know exactly what’s doing it we just got rid of how we trace food sources so we can’t know where the parasite is

Well that sounds fantastic! I’ve always been told that I’m full of shit and maybe this will change that!
