Definitely wasn't prepared for a sequel to COVID. You think Trump learned any lessons the first time around? I might preemptively buy shares in a company that manufactures an unrelated de-wormer medicine just in case.

With RFK we’re so fucked

And trump appointed him so no he didn’t learn a damn thing

I totally forgot that perspective.

Trump presided over COVID and appointed RFK? That is so unreal.

Ivermectin & jelly sandwiches are the bomb! Much more healthy than peanut butter.

Yes he did. He will outlaw testing this time around and they make sure his cdc and health cezar doesn't report the deaths.

I feel like I've seen this alert on plague Inc.

It's the end of the world as we know it!

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Mystery illness, flu like, dozens dead. Hmm, wonder if a lock-down could help curtail this? Nah

don't forget Donny about to take the reigns. Big part of a pandemic

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

I can understand forgetting history that is hundred(s of) years ago, but we just came out of a pandemic and we as a species learned nothing.

don’t forget Donny about to take the reigns.
