SCREWWORM IT

several months ago this little varmint showed up along the border
i thought to myself 
this is not a good thing
why
funding cuts for public health programs and agricultural programs that monitor these things among other reasons

yes preventative public health and agricultural programs getting cut 
well they have consequences

this little varmint has consequences

they got dodged
thank you elon

this is the consequences of not funding things that are important to control these outbreaks

now these worms have entered the united states in greater numbers
attacking cattle sheep goats horses deer

even the wild feral hogs that roam the southern united states are getting hit

i predict that the feral hogs will be the source to harbor these varmints for a long time in our country

the blowfly is the one that lays eggs on open wounds on animals 
they hatch and the screwworm buries  into the flesh of the animals making it rotten

it can devastate the animal industry

they use sterile blowflies to mate with the females  to prevent the fertile eggs from being production

you guessed it they cut that program some too
now
they are playing catch up 
im not sure if they are winning

wait there is more

measles considered eliminated in the united states now has made a huge increase in cases
why
i think we all know why

the last case of measles i saw in my medical career was
i never saw one
i was in practice for 30 years and never saw a case
except when i got measles as a child was the last time i saw someone 
that was when i looked in the mirror

then there is the cyclospora outbreak
thanks to maybe contaminated lettuce

it seems each week it gets worse
if you have it you know how miserable it is

why now
funding cuts for preventative and adequate inspections
maybe even lying about the source
in 2025 the cdc made surveillance for cyclopspora optional
we all know optional means its not done

leaving us with 11000 cases in 41 states per the cdc

It causes waves of explosive watery diarrhea
doesnt sound good does it

then there is a new salmonella outbreak from contaminated eggs
luckily it salmonella gis run their course but they can make the youngest and oldest and vulnerable real sick
same reason as to why probably
it took 7 months before the egg recall occurred from the time the contamination occurred

there was the hantavirus outbreak on the ships that sickened and killed a few folks
it was a new strain that could be transmitted from person to person

Then finally the one that scares me is the ebola outbreak in africa
what if someone gets through the screening process at the airports
then what

there were a lot of cuts to programs that prevent and control the outbreaks in africa

are they going to be thought to have cyclospora instead of ebola
the survival rate for ebola is about 50% and if you survive 90% have long term complications

all of these infestations or infections can be totally prevented or well controlled by well funded programs and in some cases immunizations

cuts to personal and programs have added to this increase in cases
mostly prevented or controlled by these government services

i always say i dont want to die from something that could have been prevented

you get what you pay for 
we arent paying 
so we are getting
those who are affected or should i say infected are getting more than what we didnt pay for

we need to fund public health and agricultural programs that keep us healthy
and
make those politicians who allow this to happen lets hold them responsible

all of these diseases have the same thing in common
funding cuts
non believers in science
preventable

today
i go to my organic garden and harvest my healthy not illness causing lettuce
i dont eat much meat so i dont have to worry about eating screwworm meat

yep
screwworm it
we need to fix it
for all our health
