US health at risk
Medical information is being censored currently.
Trump has shut down the CDC, NIH, and other health agencies; and withdrawn the US from the World Health Organization.
These organizations and agencies provide essential health information regarding deadly and infectious diseases. For example, if Ebola or some new deadly strain of Covid were spreading these are the public's alert system. They collect health data and present it to the public.
These are essential services, more critical to world and national
Now you nor your doctor would know if an epidemic or pandemic was looming.
Now, with CDC and other health agencies muzzled you would not take precautions, be aware of symptoms or dangers.You wouldnt know.
Having so recently endured the covid pandemic in which a million Americans died one would think health threats would be taken seriously. Even our own history ought teach one- with polio, smallpox, measles, and AIDS.
And yes, people used to die in droves from measles in the US. Civil War deaths in towns as well as prisons were often the result of measles outbreaks. One of the problems presented George Washington was smallpox; it also killed countless Natives.
We dont have smallpox, polio, or measles deaths often now because- until very recently- we had a good preventive health system, including vaccinations.
Disease travels quickly in crowded urban settings, and becomes epidemic. Ignorance worsens the problem.
Syphilis is rampant in Southern States now. One potential killer spreading in Kansas currently is TB.
Meanwhile Avian flu is rapidly spreading through poultry farms. The cost of eggs is owing to this.
With reduced regulations and a politicized corporate influenced FDA this will doubtless worsen...and/or infected poultry products will be passed on the unsuspecting consumers.
And then, of course, RSV and Flu are spreading...with no reliable data source or advice regarding.
We are not safe.
