Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Once again they show that they're really only pro-birth.
To be fair, they are also pro-death.
They just want to make sure you're fully aware of your death before you get to perish 😊
They are pro circle of life
Not really, they are more like “forced-birth”.
These will be the meetings to kick off creating the next season's flu vaccines. The R&D that goes into these each years requires a fair bit of lead time.
I doubt RFK's FDA is going to approve another vaccine so let's buckle up for the next 4 years. Time to say goodbye to the older folk in your life. They are particularly negatively affected by the flu.
And this is at a time when Bird Flu is raging in US farms unchecked. The conditions are perfect for a major flu pandemic.
This isn't just about seasonal flu, there is a slowly unfolding crisis that could lead to a deadly flu pandemic. It will be pot luck how deadly bird flu is, but it has been incredibly deadly in birds. It had not been deadly in cattle yet - but it could just take 1 mutation to become so. And the farms are also a perfect incubator for it to transfer into humans.
With Trump and Musk disassembling public health infrastructure we are less likely to stop a pandemic, less likely to detect it when it gets going, less likely to contain it and now less likely to be able to vaccinate to save lives.
Disease isn’t contained by borders so - ‘Thanks’ from the rest of the world.
We can smuggle needed medicines into the US if needed. This might mean they are expensive but worth it for the immunocompromised.
Reminder: he was going to let us all die when Covid hit. It was nothing, it was going away in a few days, it's just a cold. Why would you get on a double decker bus when the driver is drunk as fuck and snorting coke off the horn? People voted for this bus crash.

What music is he listening to? That might be some primo stuff! /s
Slow jazz.
Fsck it, I’m in.
Straight up out to ruin the country and kill children, and the country is pretty much ruined.
This piece of shit has a family with the means to stop him. If he hadc survived,RFK himself would be so fucking embarrassed to see what this absolute wad has become
Cannot wait to call this the trump flu
If only something that could help prevent getting this disease existed, you know, like a vaccine. Unfortunately it doesn't exist so we can only pray God to save us /s
Don't Look Up
"God helps those who help themselves"
Isn't this what you wanted?
Are the people hourly or salary? Even if salary I am sure there are ways to take a day off from work.
All that needs to happen is for these people to take a day off or meet on the off hours that they are not being paid and publish it themselves. I am sure there will be retribution but its also possible that legally they can provide a solution to prevent an even worse flue season next year.
