"The CDC is recommending citizens do a colon cleanse and to make appointments to consult with their acupuncturists to see if a chakra alignment may be needed."
I sincerely expect future historians (if there are any) to have a specific name for this particular period in American history - something like "The idiot Age" or "The Faceplant Years."
Nah, the face plant years are where you just skip the hand and directly slam your face into the nearest surface because of the off-the-charts level of absurdity you're hearing. More fitting for the current state of things.
They'll just say something stupid like "God's Will" lmao. Probably RFK's message as well.
EDIT: Poking around the CDC cites: "socioeconomic and disrupted health care access during the pandemic as key factors" for TB spreading without being caught.
Treatment is available for both active and latent TB infections and involves a several-month regimen of antibiotics. Active TB patients are typically non-contagious after 10 days of treatment.
I imagine there are poor and underprivileged groups that find it harder to access and sustain this treatment than others - homeless people, for example. Seems a bit harsh to call them willing idiots.
I'm all pro-vaccine and all, but this isn't something that we commonly vaccinate against.
So how are adults that die from it willing idiots?
The only assumption I can make is that they didn't seek medical care when they were sick? That's probably more on the problems with the cost of the medical system than it is on people's individual choices.
