Just a reminder that U.S. military personnel, whether in the National Guards or the Marines, are not trained for law enforcement.

They are trained to kill, they are remarkably effective at it, and that is why there are such strict legal prohibitions on deploying military inside the United States.

And this question from @jamellebouie.net is not far fetched. The CDC used to collaborate closely with WHO to determine the composition of the next flu vaccine. A highly coordinated, data-driven process that involved global influenza surveillance, virological analysis, and vaccine strain selection.
i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

BREAKING: #CDC reports it has confirmed that a child in California tested positive for #H5N1. The child had no known exposures to infected animals or poultry. The child had mild illness and is recovering.
I discuss in this video what cases like this mean, and why they are a bit unsettling.
