Trump's CDC Stopped Monitoring A Parasite. Guess What's Spreading Now.

[turbinetree]

You put a guy who thinks raw milk is a health food in charge of disease tracking, and a disease started spreading untracked. Shocking.

By Conover Kennard — July 11, 2026
A nationwide outbreak of explosive diarrhea is currently underway, and it's tied to a parasite the CDC quietly dropped from federal surveillance back in July 2025. That timing lines up almost exactly with the Trump administration's broader gutting of health and science agencies under the "government efficiency" banner, HuffPost reports.

A parasite called Cyclospora has sickened over 1,000 people across 29 states, with Michigan getting hit the worst of all. The CDC would probably have caught this sooner — if it hadn't stopped watching for it.

The agency's FoodNet program used to track eight foodborne pathogens, until that surveillance simply stopped. Cyclospora, Campylobacter, Listeria, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia were tracked. But in July 2025, right around the time the Trump administration started gutting federal health agencies and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed out scientists and researchers, that surveillance ended.

6. Nah, deport him to a galaxy far far away

[moonshinegnomie]

14. sue him into poverty

everyone affected by his cuts should personally sue him. if someone died as a result sue him literally for billions . im sure a symapthetic jury could easily find damages for lost of companionship to be worth billions. and he never had an official position in the government since doge was created out of thin air w/o congressional approval.

16. Don't even bother with the legal niceties

Confiscate all his assets.

Then send him on a one-way trip to Mars.

4. The Trump regime is mostly comprised of unmonitored parasites,

so this is entirely on-brand.

5. And they have pure hatred for American

I never felt so much like my own government hated me and wanted to kill me.

8. I find it frightening that these goons are so self absorbed

so yes paranoia sets in for many of us

12. They're trying to cull the herd.

People cost money. Billionaires don't want to pay taxes. See how that works?

[not fooled]

13. Yeah, it's easy to understand why the billionaires want people dying

the thing that gets me is how MAGA has managed to con so many 'Muricans into despising science-based healthcare thereby in essence suiciding themselves.

7. In MAGA Bizarro-world ignorance is bliss,

until it ISN'T.
