Hey, no kink shame in my game man
The order is only in effect until February 1. I'd be curious about it if it was longer but a 1 week freeze is probably about reducing miscommunication during the gov transition.
Biden instituted a similar rule for 60 days:
Literally, calm your tits
Stopping new rules and stopping basic alerting are very different. I can see an administration wanting to review new rules. But stopping normal communication is extreme.
I'd appreciate if you could copy my response to all the places you posted your same comment. It'd save me a lot of effort.
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 👌
Haha the cognitive dissonance saying that they should uproot but then 360 that to only exactly as far as you decide and not outside an arbitrary border to exactly the same land but under democratic rule
The US CDC, one of the crown jewels of American science and democracy, world leader in it's field, savior to millions, ruined by a mobbed up failed casino owner and real estate developer from Queens
Ruined by Republican voters who would rather make sure the immigrants are punished than survive the next bird flu.
By racists who feel the need to push down their fellow man than save them.
"If you can't see it then it isn't happening!"
Shit we already seeing it real time. Facebook recently banned anything related to Linux.
Lolwut?
I deleted my Facebook some years ago, and so don't have the means to double check this. Is this for real?
So are any CDC staff working on ways to get word out on threats outside of the officially-gagged channels?
I would rather they don't lose their jobs by doing so, but civil disobedience is absolutely called for here.
well, I hope we don't end up having a global lockdown again, but if we do, I'll be sure to call it the America Pox or Trump Flu or something polemic
Ignorance Is Strength!
In a country where being asleep is seen as better than being woke, you get what you deserve.

This seems like a good thread to ask someone to find/make a RSS feed of WHO Disease Outbreak News. https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news
Kansas currently has an outbreak of drug resistant TB.
There’s also the possibility of pulling coverage of PREP/doxy/other medications designed to prevent STIs from insurance coverage. This would devastate the gay community, which is why they would do it.
I've been watching this really interesting older docuseries about an illegal alien who was adopted by a Kansan farmer. It really highlights the lengths the rich will go to when they feel justified in their own actions. Makes me wonder if this new TB strain isn't just the newest bio-weapon introduced by the state's leading plutocrat.
