    Given how this whole thing could have been much smaller if doge/47/elon had not dismantled the FDAs monitoring programs, Ive taken to calling this “butt covid” and its their fault.

      Not just that, red states have also, side-by-side with the feds, dismantled their own oversight and public safety. This used to be the sort of thing your local Health Department could and would catch and deal with alongside federal HHS, but 40 years of ripping THAT copper out of the walls too means the whole thing folds in on itself when something happens.
