"We" hate it when we are right!

Elon and the Grifter decimated USAID, and now there is a break out of the Ebola Virus. The surveillance usually provided by the presence of health and humanitarian agencies is missing. There is a shortage of staff and supplies. This is bad! This could become significantly worse. Ebola is spreading like wildfire. Now what!?

Fuck you Elon and DJT!!!

Ridding the planet of the weak, sick, poor.

The billionaires believe every resource in the world belongs to them.
And they are not going to share.

Our fathers risked their lives to beat back evil and won.

We didn't know it was only temporary.

despite all the warning signs.

Which, in part, explains how it HAS.

If this strain of ebola makes it to the West the death rate will be way more expensive in money and lives than prevention would have been. Some day, in some outbreak, it will hit Mar A Lago. It surfaces a few times a year in a few places, and evolves in Africa as it is. Take away health resources and you will pay in the end. And a travel ban like the one the US put up already won't stop the spread. It will only slow it down for a time.

due to cancellation of USAID programs. The world's richest man must be very proud of himself. All the more reason to never buy or support anything that Musk is involved in.
