We've destroyed the systems of public health and environmental monitoring and protection in this country. They weren't great to start with, but now they are mostly just completely destroyed.

It would be weird if we didn't return to this medieval system where sometimes weird and dangerous things just happen out of nowhere, and there's just no explanation and no way to make it stop.

If only there was some way we could minimize these types of things. Oh, Woe is me. Why is the world so cruel.

I was going to make a dark joke about people who didn't vote because the Democrats weren't good enough for them (which I mean they definitely are not... but how has that strategy worked out so far?)

I mean.......the only difference between what you just said, and all of 2020, is eventually we got a vaccine becsuse science was still being applied.

Lets see, who do we have in charge of science today?

checks notes......it's RFK

We're fucked.

doesnt this usually end in some mass-hysteria issue.. especially with kids??

headaches, nausea..dizziness.. all easily psycho-induced.

no one is bleeding here or has any real systemic, biological failure.

It's also easily possible that someone spiked the punch.

It's just the ultra-mega-super-duper evolution of porygon. Gotta catch 'em all!
