  1. It’s been years since the last pandemic. Surely that office is unnecessary.

    /S

  2. I mean, isn’t that part of why we had THE LAST plague? It just seems even recent history should show us this is a bad idea.

  3. His administration’s response to COVID might’ve cost him the election. This time he’s not concerned bc he’s not planning on leaving office anyway.

  4. You got to admire Republican timing. Yesterday – [Barn cats suffer H5N1 brain infections, blindness, death after drinking raw milk from infected cows on a Texas dairy farm](https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/concerning-spread-of-bird-flu-from-cows-to-cats-suspected-in-texas/)

    Today – [More than half of cats died after drinking raw milk from bird flu-infected cows](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cats-died-after-drinking-milk-bird-flu-infected-cows/)

  5. Trump’s mad at COVID for costing him the election so he’s going to punish some future pandemic to get his payback. What a vindictive little man he is.

  7. If trump wins and H5N1 becomes a pandemic. We are so, so, so f—ked.

  9. Trump signed a 10 year 50 billion dollar deal with the makers of Clorox! The Covid version is for internal consumption and for laundry and will have a picture of Trump on it wearing a pair of his golden sneakers on it! Signed! And…. If you buy it in the next 94 seconds you’ll get a FREE Trump version Bible ( just pay for shipping and handling)…. And WAIT! If you buy MORE THAN ONE…. We will throw in a commemorative CD containing his hit song”lock her up!” So please hurry and buy this NOOOW!

  10. “It’s true that when Trump came into office, the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, an integrated collection of secret, federally-controlled warehouses packed with medical and protective equipment, was short on supplies. That’s because President Barack Obama deployed resources from the stockpile for public health emergencies such as the swine flu and the Ebola outbreak. ***When Obama tried to refill the stockpile, Tea Party Republicans blocked the new funding.*** In his first three years as President, Trump never attempted to replenish the equipment. ”

    “After Trump took office in 2017, he disbanded the White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense.”

    And 1,189,603 Americans died in the Covid 19 pandemic. The Democrats under Biden have pushed to prevent that from happening again with OPPR and more, and Trump is already talking about yet again scrapping such preventative measures. He’s the public facing figurehead of a death cult.

  11. We’d be best prepared by promoting a more healthy population in general

  12. This isn’t the worst thing he’d do like…

    And I am aware this alone is very bad already.

  13. This actually might be my biggest grievance so far. And I’m gay. Like. What?

  14. if u ask Trump or anyone on his team. Covid was a conspiracy done to damage his Presidency. It was nothing more than a severe strain of flu. According to them…. Sounds something that Trump would do if got back in again.

  16. I would really like to stop seeing the words Blast/Slams in article titles.

  17. If that happens and we get another Pandemic you can bet on Trumpers once again refusing all advice and rules and dying in droves even if a vaccine gets developed since they won’t take it.

  19. He really came up and said “I’ll f*cking do it again. H’yuk!”

  20. Did everyone also forgot that the Biden Administration declared Covid over?

  21. Sure, but the plan is to shut down *everything*. Read Project 2025 people.
