Don't worry this administration has the best people working on it, no doubt.
They're RFK's people after all.
"Working on it:" Promoting Long-Term Suitability and Co-Evolution of Screwworms in Primate Hosts (2025, Kennedy, R. F., et al)
The plan was to give us brain worms all along.
"Don't be a bunch of liberal woke idiots! Just man up and deal with the flesh eating parasite, we'll get herd immunity!"
This is nothing a workout while wearing your jeans won't fix.
If the name has you creeped out you really don't want to look up the photos . Trust me.
I knew the worm in RFK's brain didn't die but secretly took control of his body. He's looking to catch humanity off guard for a major assault from flesh-eating screw worms.
This is Season 1 of Star Trek TNG
Does this mean RFK is going to be spontaneously replaced by a younger man in a wig whenever a punch is thrown?
And who gets to have their skin and muscle burned off so the ribcage and such is showing?
TNG S1 was wild.
The case, involving a person who had recently traveled to El Salvador,
"The risk to public health in the United States from this introduction is very low," [HHS spokesperson Emily G. Hilliard] said.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins traveled to Texas to announce a five-part plan to combat the screwworm on Aug. 15
This includes plans to breed billions of sterile flies and dump them from the air over southern Texas and Mexico in the hope of stopping the parasite's spread.
A report from the USDA last year estimated an outbreak of screwworm could cost Texas at least $1.8 billion due to livestock deaths, labor costs and medication.
The case, involving a person who had recently traveled to El Salvador
So ICE brought screw worms to the US. Great.
This includes plans to breed billions of sterile flies and dump them from the air over southern Texas and Mexico in the hope of stopping the parasite’s spread.
Incidentally, this isn't a new plan, it's a successful plan that's been used against Screwworms in South America and eradicated them entirely in some places. It does take constant effort to ensure they don't come back, and the US has broadly funded this eradication program for years because of the global good it does for relatively little cost comparatively. If Mexico and South America's livestock is safe, we make money and have food and best of all, the worm doesn't make it into the US to torture human and animal alike.
I mean, that's the first paragraph. Do we really need to spell out what gets written in paragraph two, or just go straight to the article from May?
If only we had a program of releasing billions of sterile males in a very narrow strip of land to keep them from coming up here. Oh we did? Trump axed it? Not surprising.
First human case of flesh-eating screwworm parasite
You mean other than 100% of the executive branch and 95% of Congress?
nah they're just selfish ignorant fucks
Make America Get Worms Again
So... MAGWA? Sounds oddly familiar. Where have I heard that before.
It's kind of like Wario to Magma. Or wait, that would be WAGMA. WAGWA is in there somewhere, too.
There was an article here few weeks ago about how an US governmental agency (I don't remember which) made screwworm disappear from US decades ago, then Mexico, and managed to contain it to few pockets in central america, and now, just few months after fund cuts from the new government the invasion is spreading very fast and reaching US...
Who could have prevented it ?

Screwworms eating people? Nothing that horse dewormer or lethal doses of vitamin A can't fix.
Oh, it goes after the livestock? Now they suddenly need real science to fix that!
Brain worms attack!
Is that the worm they were talking about living in RFK Jr.s head ?
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
Damn Illithids!
America! All the greatness!
