MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) has been put on hold, for the first time in it's 60 year history.
"On January 23, 2025, the CDC failed to release a new weekly issue of MMWR for the first time in the publication's over 60-year history. The failure was a direct result of the second Trump administration ordering an indefinite "pause" on public communications by all branches of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "Preventing CDC from publishing scientific data via the MMWR represents a radical departure from protocol that will undermine the public's trust in the Trump Administration," Jennifer Nuzzo, who runs the Pandemic Center at Brown University, wrote.[25]"
But yeah, it's all cool. /s No IT'S NOT! I'm not sure how this can undermine public trust, if there wasn't any to begin with. It only confirms that disaster will be arriving soon. And the Fed isn't going to be much help. Work within your communities, mutual aid will be what keeps us afloat.

This is scary. Why would someone want to hide that specific information ahead of time? Also, that someone is a puppet of an enemy state and couldn't have mishandled the previous infectious disease outbreak any worse. And last time, he disbanded the federal epidemic team before COVID came out. This is like evil-villain level foreshadowing.
If you care about your health or your family's health, yall need to move to a blue state quickly and hunker down for the next 4 years. This madman is going to do everything he can to weaken and separate the union. We need to switch from progress to containment mode.
Or, you know move out of range of the union at all
What an easy task! Let's uproot the entire family's social bonds and connection to the culture because the president for the next four years is a piece of shit. Possibly learn a whole new language, possibly set the kids back years in school, possibly lose a career, possibly have to be poor for years while studying for certification exams, possibly deal with xenophobia. Spend thousands of dollars to see if you can get approval. Forever be an immigrant on someone else's land if you're lucky. Prove to Trump and your soon-to-be old neighbors you really disapprove with this one easy step 👌
Well, there may be an imminent incoming pandemic, or it's just normal fascism things, like turning off all public information and then whitelisting propaganda-safe data to be turned back on when it's vetted. Can't really tell which possibility is a worse sign of things to come.
Could be any disaster:
Now there’s no one left to say the administration handles the next disaster poorly
That's what I can't stand about these types of people. There's never any definite anything because they are working on constant contingency, so one can't prepare. You just have to be ready for everything at all times. It's exhausting.
Definitely a fascist thing.
Two things can be true.
They want to outsource and privatize everything, lining their friends pockets and getting kickbacks. “Small government”, huge industrial complex contractor.
The whole "the cruelty is the point" thing is so foreign to me. It isn't difficult to cause hardship with clean intentions. To cause intentional pain broadly and blindly just doesn't make sense to me. And I can "devils advocate" and try to empathize fairly well (hard to know if that's true without acting like a creeper).
Global dominance?
Nope you have seen it in school unless you were home schooled or something. Kids call names and punch for no reason except they are hurt inside and they want to hurt others. We know this is the same because Trump told us over and over. He is sad and angry and will hurt people now that don't have anything to do with him. You chose this together and I don't know how you now ask what is this. It is what you chose together
If you think I asked for this or supported others in choosing this, you are incorrect. I've been pushing for Bernie for 15 years.
The USA voted for him to do this to them
Hey I got you. But you make yourself look like a fool to reduce the situation to such binary terms.
