Reports like this remind me of very early COVID days. And USA just elected a POTUS that did a shit job of getting us through that same pandemic. With the cabinet that he has (rfk jr, oz…), let’s just hope these are truly fringe cases and doesn’t lead to an outbreak

Probably not block CDC scientists of speaking about it[0]. Also not interfere with data collection by the CDC[1].

They probably wouldn't have dismantled the global health security branch of the National Security Council either[2][3][4], 2 years prior to the pandemic.

There's a timeline outlining the disastrous bullshit[5].
