First, given how quickly we've seen the development of a brown shirt core (ICE) and the construction of concentration camps (Alligator Auschwitz), I'm honestly shocked that nobody in the regime has tried to blame brown people for the measles cases.
And second, a bunch medicaid funding is about to disappear, a bunch of people are about to lose their medical coverage (not just medicaid but subsidized insurance plans as well), and many rural hospitals are about to close as a result. Additionally, we're losing a bunch of food inspectors. Coupled with the number of infectious disease outbreaks we're going to see as a result of RFK's fuckery, a LOT of people are going to die.
Measles wasn’t supposed to be a plot twist in this decade.
You’d think we’d have outgrown fighting for the basics, but here we are, stunned that public health can unravel quietly while everyone’s looking the other way.
📌 Stability is not guaranteed; it’s rebuilt every generation.

"RFK Jr. is a dipshit, but much like the rest of the dipshits currently in power, he has power to influence a large swath of people who are increasingly skeptical and defiant."
This is a very on-point and succinct statement of the frustrating state of things.
