If the CDC becomes merely a political org that has an address and no function,

This opens the door for Russia or China to secretly unleash all sorts of deadly biological agents into our population. We would have no protection for the population and we would have no way to know where it came from. Welcome to the new Dark Ages and the new Black Plague.

With a similar situation happening with FEMA, if this happened, it would make the Covid pandemic look like a sneeze. It could mean millions upon millions of deaths, all within a rapid time frame. Mass graves, martial law.

In all other ways, it seems like he's been telling his first administration to hold his beer. He's just over-topping all the bad shit he the first time around. But then I thought, well, at least he hasn't killed nearly as many people compared to his mishandling of COVID.

Well, shit. Hold his beer, I guess.
