    Shitcanned? Some of these people need to do hard time in prison. They are getting Americans and other civilians killed due to medical malpractice. Halting medical shipments to poor countries will accelerate various diseases like wildfire, which will spread worldwide due to air travel. Cutting food shipments will make people turn to bushmeat, a known vector for novel diseases that we have zero resistance to.

    And disbanding vaccine scientists, health advisories and food/disease monitoring means American children, elderly, and immunocompromised shall die. Even healthy people will have unnecessary days where they are very sick, which will cause the economy to take a completely unnecessary hit. In an era where, let’s face it, the economy isn’t having many good days anyways.

    The truly sad thing is that Pestilence and his goons halted food and medicines that prevented or suppressed serious diseases in poor countries. This will irreversibly spread HIV, TB, and other terrible diseases like malaria.

    Even more worrying, people that used to be fed grains and other food staples from American farmers are no longer getting food shipments. This means American farmers can’t sell their crops to the government anymore, and the people who received food are now starving. This encourages instability, war, famine, and worst of all, bushmeat hunting, which can harbor all sorts of endemic diseases. Some have rarely come into contact with people, so they’ve never made the jump to humans as a host. But the more people hunt wild game, the more and more chances it has to get things just right in order to jump to humans and spread. This is most likely the root cause of HIV and COVID, and there’s speculation that Ebola started infecting humans the same way.

    This is already a huge problem, and it’s only to get worse as climate change makes conditions even more favorable to bacteria, viruses, and most worryingly, fungi, which we don’t have many medicines for.
