PLEASE READ. GOP Policy On Health Care Makes Murderous Epidemic More Likely And Uncontrollable.

Fragmenting health care in the country also means fragmenting the efficiency of the Centers For Disease Control And such reckless attitude means that a terrible epidemic can effect us nationally. We could see the same kind of pandemic that killed so many around the WWI.

When I lost my foot to staph I had a very long conversation with a doctor from the CDC. They were really watching my case. And the lab doctor seemed to imply that I had a lot of bugs in my system. I can tell you based on our discussion we are walking a very thin line when it comes to diseases. Few American understand that CDC is even more important than Homeland Security in some ways. And there are so many contagions you cannot see that would kill thousands of Americans quickly.

The CDC is at the center of our health care system monitoring every pathogen treated in our hospital system. And germs mutate even by the minute or hourly. THEY EVOLVE before your eyes. And we have RW Christians who deny evolution and believe in prayer. All it takes is one small mutation to change the game.

I apparently had several infections one of which was MSSA. With MERSA you have personnel in little white suits. I was lucky that way but I still lost my left foot. In the end I had 60 days of IV antibiotics before the infection was gone.

We should be terrified that the GOP is about to basically take the system apart and leave our country undefended from the little bugs. If CDC must run their science by some dumb shit before they can act on a problem thousands could dead and and infection could spread like wildfire.

These people are crazy enough to keep a serious problem secret.

There are a couple of billion or three more people than the planetary environment can reasonably sustain. A black plague type of infection would take care of that nicely, leaving more than enough air and water for the deserving remnant who are blessed by God to rule whoever else is hanging around. And a plague would certainly cut back on overall fossil fuel usage.
