Wow, just saw some of the meeting with Zelensky, Trump and Vance. I resisted going to Facebook, so I'm grateful I have Bluesky today. I am so sickened by what I saw. Trump and Vance are the lowest of low humans. It's just so horrible!

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
