Roy Blunt sez CDC received unprecedented attention this last year.

That will happen when you are an entire Federal agency bound, gagged, thrown in a trunk and kidnapped by a fucking out of control criminal cartel.

That draws attention.

Senator Murray and Dr. Schuchat have lovely white hair.

But did you know that every inch of their hair was jet black? It turned snow white literally overnight in February of 2020.

Coincidentally they watched a 'press briefing' with TFG the day that happened.

I can only imagine, if I was still in high school, all the sex I wouldn’t be having now that the worst of the pandemic has passed.

Sen Blunt sez drug overdose deaths spiking in 2020!

During a fucking plague.

With an asshole leading the response. With his bleach therapy.

You just know that you are on your own with him in charge.

Suicide can be considered a side effect of TFG.

The first corrective step needed to handle the suicide epidemic was taken last November when a majority of American voters prescribed an elixir manufactured in Scranton, PA on November 20, 1942 and largely distributed from Delaware. This elixir AKA "Olde OHJB" also has the beneficial side effect of putting $1400 in your pocket.

She better speak to her Governor - he was the one who asked for the federal unemployment aid that was being sent to the states to be cancelled

I can't stand these racist people -- if their racism only hurts poor White people (as well as, obviously, BIPOC) they STILL don't give a rip

That whole state is a hell mess. Did you see the wanna-be fascists running to replace him?

One of them is a maniac already facing federal charges for threatening BIPOC who were exercising their First Amendment rights protesting in the street, with an AR-15.

The other was dismissed from his prior post because of sexual harassment concerns.

Dr. Smith and Walensky needs to listen to the BIPOC on her staff and not dismiss what they say. She -- and her staff -- did not factor in rural (and urban) BIPOC who have yet to receive one vaccine dose ... and she - and her staff -- are in denial about the number of White people running around acting like fools and endangering the rest of us because her - and her staffs' - limbic lizard brains have been socially conditioned to refuse to believe that people who look like them could ever do anything that terrible.

You cannot run a federal agency in this country and base all your decisions - and even research – on foundationally White-only assumptions … regardless of how β€œwell-bred” and β€œeducated” and β€œqualified” you believe the White people are who are doing your research and helping you make your decisions. The implicit bias is baked into the decision-making process. It’s the same reason why AI-driven facial recognition software picks up and misidentifies BIPOC as felons. It’s the same reason why the FBI is so slow to catch all the domestic terrorists. Too many White people making decisions, and not enough BIPOC.It doesn’t work.

West Virginia has an epidemic of overdose suicides.

West Virginia also has Joe Manchin as a senator.

Correlation or causation?

JFC How could one post get so much wrong. If someone’s selling you that bag as an eighth, you’re getting scammed.
