Now that USAID is shuttered and they had an $85 million project funded by private money to end TB in the Philippines, what other preventable infectious diseases are you looking forward to contracting?
Made even better, of course, if RFK Jr is confirmed!

I’m looking forward to the next global pandemic and there’s going to be millions of fucking idiots who refuse to wear masks or follow basic advice from the Epidemiology community because their redneck uncle told them it’s all fake news and just take a sip of bleach and they’ll be ok.
@Caravanfan
Would you like some Bird Flu?
I can already see it: Trump signs an EO banning the culling of infected chicken, and allowing the sale of contaminated poultry and eggs.
Well one good thing we wont have to worry about climate change, with these idiots we all will be dead of something far more horrific, but don’t worry as the body count keep increasing The Don Father and his boot lickers will be screaming HOAX.
@ragingloli I saw an article today that said, “Bird flu may now be airborne”. And I kind of giggled. Get it? Birds? They fly?

I’m hoping for another case of mumps. The rat time I had them my jowls were so adorable. <eyeroll>
I don’t think you can get mumps more than once….?
End TB in the Philippines? That’s interesting. I wasn’t aware of that. We don’t really attempt that in the US. We don’t vaccinate for it. I personally know plenty of people who are positive in the US but not active. Of course the US does take measure to isolate people with active infection.
@Dutchess_III Mumps is usually only once unless your immunity has waned, which is possible, but not probable.
Herd immunity helps keep mumps at bay in the US so there can be outbreaks, and there still are outbreaks.
My biggest fear every year is Norovirus. They are working on a vaccine for it. Wouldn’t that be great!
@JLeslie Don’t worry, the adjudicated rapist’s pick for HHS secretary will outlaw it so I hope you enjoy your toilet.
