Don't worry - we know you filthy maga traitor cunts don't believe in any of these FACTUAL things...

 
Seasonal influenza activity remains elevated and continues to increase across the country

 
Yes, there is currently an ongoing outbreak of bird flu (avian influenza) in the United States and other parts of the world.  
Key points:  

The outbreak is primarily caused by the H5N1 strain of bird flu.  

 
It has affected wild birds, poultry farms, and dairy farms in multiple countries.  

 
Cases have been reported in humans, mainly in people who have direct contact with infected birds or their droppings.  

 
The risk to the general public is considered low, but people who work with poultry or live near infected farms should take precautions.  

 
Health authorities are monitoring the situation and taking steps to prevent the spread of the virus.  

 

The Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting an outbreak of measles in Gaines County. At this time, 24 cases have been identified with symptom onset within the last two weeks. Nine of the patients have been hospitalized. All of the cases are unvaccinated and residents of Gaines County. Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in Gaines County and the surrounding communities. DSHS is working with South Plains Public Health District and Lubbock Public Health to investigate the outbreak.

Yep, the former Democrat is the new HHS Secretary after his own party could not stop Trump from drafting him into service.  Another great pick by Trump.  

This inept incompetent unqualified idiot will kill people.  Just ask Samoa - where 43 children died after this idiot spread lies there.  

Fuck you're dumb.

In rural West Texas, a measles outbreak grows with no end in sight
At least 49 cases have been confirmed. Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people may be infected.
.
"... Without widespread vaccination, experts say, the outbreak could go on for months. ..."
.
Or maybe for four years of RFK and Trump.

It’s the winter, flu cases are always up in the winter. Bird flu poses zero threat to humans. Measles has been mostly eradicated from the country. The few cases that we have were caused by Biden’s open borders.

"Feb 5 (10 days ago): The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is reporting an outbreak of measles in Gaines County. At this time, six cases have been identified with symptom onset within the last two weeks, all among unvaccinated school-aged children who are residents of Gaines County. ..."

Feb 14 (1 day ago]: 49 CONFIRMED cases. Cases are confirmed by PCR, NOT by taking the kids' temperatures.

WHERE IS YOUR PROOF THAT THIS OUTBREAK WAS CAUSED BY "Biden's open borders."?? (Let me guess: Trump posted it on X.)

Gaines County is home to a large Mennonite community that avoid interactions with the outside world as much as they can. "Does the question of farm worker health & safety even apply to Amish/Mennonites, since ****they normally hire relatives and keep the work within the family?"****]"

and all of these health issues you complain of are now HIS fault?  Could you possibly be any MORE of a partisan hack?

RFK has been a very vocal anti-vaxxer for a long time. He publicly warns people not to vax because they are unsafe. RFK is partially culpable for the measles outbreak in Samoa several years ago:

RFK Jr. Is Trying to Write Himself Out of 2019 Samoan Measles Epidemic
Kennedy's claim he "had nothing to do with people not vaccinating in Samoa" stretches credibility.  
.
"Kennedy's assertion that he "had nothing to do with people not vaccinating in Samoa" is not credible. It is undermined by his direct engagement with the Samoan government on the topic of vaccines, his direct engagement with the Samoan anti-vaccine movement before, during, and after the epidemic, and his platforming of the two primary influencers advocating against vaccination in Samoa. ..."
.
"What is clear, however, is that Kennedy and his charity Children's Health Defense (CHD) exploited the deaths of those Samoan infants, the pause on vaccination it caused, the emergency vaccination campaign it later necessitated and the epidemic itself to further their own political goals and bolster their claims. Kennedy's promotion of activists who spoke against the Samoan vaccination campaigns added reach and legitimacy to vaccine opposition immediately preceding the epidemic's onset. ..."
.
"Before and during the period in which Samoa was undergoing a crisis of confidence in vaccination, Kennedy became involved with a series of campaigns in the United States to challenge state bills mandating vaccination, particularly the MMR vaccine at issue in Samoa. Kennedy, as part of this campaign, repeatedly pushed the notion that mainstream news reporting on the danger of measles was a conspiracy created by pharmaceutical companies to sell inherently unsafe vaccines to a frightened public. His stump speeches, articles and paid Facebook ads drove home claims that measles was not dangerous, that measles infections could in most cases be cured by vitamin A and that natural immunity to measles was stronger than vaccine-derived immunity ..."
.
*****"A problem immediately emerged for one specific anti-vaccine talking point: that death from measles was extremely rare. By the end of November, 39 deaths had been recorded — primarily children under 5.*****
.
What we need is an effective anti-RFK vaccine.

Then the Dems who think science is never questioning Democrat bureaucrats all screaming in woe all at the same time over RFK Jr becoming the new head of HHS. They have no idea the degree of corruption that is about to get exposed.

. . . after his own party could not stop Trump from drafting him into service.
Trump made a quid pro quo with RFK, Jr, that if the latter dropped out of the Republican President primary, Trump would give him a high position in his administration.
Another great pick by Trump.
Good sarcasm!

RFK Jr was in the Democrats’ primary, and was run out by Biden allies who sued to get him off state ballots every chance they could.

Biden wasn't willing to compromise his beliefs and make a deal with Worm Brain in order to get his block of voters. Trump was.

…that Republicans welcomed a diverse set of viewpoints and became a big tent party while Democrats excluded everyone who didn’t agree with them on every position? That the big tent party won over the echo chamber party?

If by big tent you mean including gangbangers, rioters, neo-Nazis, white racists, misogynists, totalitarianists, homophobes, idolaters, etc, then you are correct.

gangbangers, rioters, neo-Nazis, white racists, misogynists, totalitarianists, homophobes, idolaters, etc,
The “vote for us because we are better than you” worked so well for in the last election.

Biden didn't know what day it was and Kackles? My Belgian Malinois has a solid 40 IQ points on her. You idiots passed up the chance to possibly win but Noooooooooooo can't take on the views of a fellow dem...

You mean like all the people you lefties killed during Covid? Between Fauci and Andrew Cuomo they killed a fuck load of people. And you assholes stood and cheered.

Yep, we told people to drink bleach - you dumb fucking idiot.

😂😂😂😂😂

You know blatant lying like this lost you guys a ton of Dem voters in the last election, right? Just like the very fine people hoax, people eventually saw it was a lie, and likely left the Democrat Party forever. So keep it up, Chinchilla. The way you’re going we’ll have GOP Presidents for the next 12 years if not more.

The Left (AKA the "WE" you're referring to there, did tell lies like this one... If you get vaccinated it stops the spread.

Yeah that one aged well.
