Saw that DOGE cuts at CDC eliminated this parasite monitoring from the agency's group that handles this. Called FoodNet and DOGE eliminated monitoring of everything except for just 2 parasites. Before this administration when signs of an outbreak popped out, CDC dispatched a field team to locate the source and work with local officials to eradicate it before it spreads further. In some cases it simply is caused by cross contamination and a relatively inexpensive fix and treatment with chemicals. So much winning from this administration. Now we're all going to have the shits

Late 2026 headline going into 2027: Explosive diarrhea makes its way across the United States, as 1 in 2 people contract sickness. CDC nowhere to be seen. April 2027 headline: Q1 US GDP sharply negative as explosive diarrhea takes its toll on productivity. Workers spending more time in the bathroom instead of production floor. Toilet paper shortage incoming.

Toilet paper is such an obvious conspiracy protected by people feeling shame from a jetstream to asshole. I don't even think companies have to lobby but from a CDC perspective bidet implementation might reduce a lot of infectious diseases such as this.

In July 2025, the CDC scaled back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet). Mandatory monitoring of eight foodborne pathogens was cut down to just two (Salmonella and *E. coli*), making the reporting of *Cyclospora*and other bacteria optional at the federal level.

Here's the analysis: "Small correction, SDGR IPO'd in Feb 2020, so call it dead money since the 2021 spike rather than a decade. As for innovating: drug discovery revenue more than doubled last quarter to $22.9M, their partnered Ajax program just landed a deal worth up to $2.3B, and they have three wholly owned clinical assets in trials (MALT1, CDC7, Wee1/Myt1). The software side is the cash engine, \~$220M ACV growing 10-15%, GPU-accelerated with NVIDIA, plus expansion into predictive toxicology and materials science. The actual model innovation is that they keep equity and royalties in drugs designed on their platform, which is how Nimbus became a multibillion dollar windfall. The bear case isn't lack of innovation, it's that none of it hits EBITDA breakeven until around 2028, and the screen scores the business, not the chart."

flaming_pope

the Andre’s Strain of Hantaviruses; Hantaviruses in general is a well known virus. Particularly in cases of rat bite fever in the US, though the Andre’s strain is deadly. It’s been sequenced, known for 20 years, 200 cases world wide, however no vaccine due to lack of trying. However reinfection is non existent indicating easy to create a highly effective vaccine if needed. This is half as deadly (as a %) as the Ebola outbreak and about 100x smaller in size that happened in Africa. Even Assuming the CDC does a half job response, this will be a nothingburger. That does not factor in bad actors that actively seek to sabotage.

"Wildly inaccurate?" It's from the CDC. What am I supposed to use? When I walk outside, it is not at all unbelievable that 70% of US adults are overweight, and I live in a relatively low level of fat area. If you look at the states, there is a big range, biased heavily towards the red states.

These numbers are 2021-2023. And the CDC is using data from NHANES. They survey 5,000 people annually. That is an even worse sampling than the first. Concede.

I appreciate the sentiment. My goal isn't to shitpost but to inform myself on my own investing strategies on this subreddit. The establishment dems aren't against chemicals due to the lobbyist pressure. The progressives, rather, are surging in popularity and they are looking to strip DC of the glut of lobbying money. If they are successful in getting money out of politics, I would expect that there would be a much stricter CDC, FDA, EPA, etc. Meaning that a lot of things that are on the fence in terms of studies would get scrutinized without the benefit of cash softening the blow. Look at Round-Up, Leaded Gas, and Big Tobacco. All three heavily paid to keep research quiet and influence lawmakers. I have very little doubt that there is a similar push for vaping so any investment into those types of companies should be keeping a close eye on politics as well. Investing advice to set and forget is often correct but when the politics of the world can erase industries overnight, you can't be asleep at the wheel.

We spend huge amounts of taxpayer money on healthcare. Saying we have 'no healthcare' is kind of insane. Medicare (mandatory): $839 billion Covers ~68 million older adults and people with disabilities. This is the largest single program. Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) (federal share, mandatory): $584 billion Covers ~83 million low-income people; Medicaid alone finances a large share of long-term care. Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace subsidies (primarily mandatory refundable premium tax credits): $125 billion total support (~$111 billion in direct outlays) Helps ~19 million people buy private coverage. Veterans’ health care (VA medical care) (discretionary): $128 billion Provides hospital and outpatient care to over 7 million veterans. National Institutes of Health (NIH) research (discretionary): $46 billion Funds biomedical research (often classified under health but supports future care). Other discretionary health programs (examples): Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): ~$9 billion Public health and emergency/social services: ~$11 billion Global/international health assistance: ~$10 billion Total direct federal outlays on health care programs and services: ~$1.9 trillion.

Just like DOJ, DHS, CDC, FBI, are all operating "normally" and haven't been under pressure, gutted staff, and appointed loyalists. There are of course great dedicated people still working there, but when someone comes in and tries to put their thumb on the scales, applies pressure, fires people, berates them publicly, it takes a toll. It's just human nature.

COVID was clearly engineered and a laboratory accident, Wuhan is 3000km away from the Yunnan caves where those SARS-like viruses circulate. And the Wuhan Institute of Virology is the most famous molecular biology/virology research lab on those particular viruses, and they have been sampling the caves and publishing research on those viruses for years with famously lacking biosafety measures. The response of the Chinese CDC, trying to hide what was happening at the beginning of the pandemic, and the fact that it started just where the lab is, suggest a gigantic blunder rather than a voluntary release. on the other hand Nipah in India, like Ebola or Marburg in Africa, is a bat virus that circulates exactly where the outbreak occurred. It was just a matter of time before somebody caught it by close contact with bats in a very densely populated area.

With all the shit going down with the CDC, you really have to wonder if they're actually trying to thin the heard here. Whatever their intentions are, it can't be good, and if it's not intentional then it's just completely gourded up.

ep1032

I appreciate the work you did here! A couple of mistakes though. The realignment of the Democratic and Republican political parties really started somewhere around the ~1920s and didn't really ossify until ~1960. So blaming either current political party for anything before ~60 misunderstands the fact that the modern parties are very different organizations ideologically than they were before ~1960. They weren't the same parties, even if they share the same names. The 1970s crash was very much the result of modern liberal keynesian economics, yes. But at that point, the modern Republican party didn't really exist yet. It was this crash that allowed the Goldwater revolution to give birth to the modern Republican party. So again, this crash doesn't really make sense to blame on one party or the other, given that only one of the two modern parties existed at the time. The 1980s crash was the first time we see modern Republican ideology applied to economics. If we wanted to blame either party here, we are now solidly in a period of modern Republican control, but that doesn't feel fair to the Republican party. It is more fair to say that this crash was more aftershocks from the turbulent 1970s, ie: not countable for the same reasons we can't use the 1970s crash in this analysis. Okay, but by 1990s, we firmly have both American parties in their current, modern orientation, right? Yup. So using your list, we have the 2001 crash. Both the 2001 and 2008 crash were the result of increased deregulation in the market, or the direct result of rollbacks of previously existing liberal regulations of the market that were designed to prevent bubbles and crashes such as these. Why were such regulations prevented or rolledback? Because Clinton saw that the modern Republican Party was ascendant, and he moved the Democratic party to be in line with their ideas, in order to not lose big-money donor sources. So both of these crashes are the result of politicians in the Democratic and Republican party (wait for it), enacting Republican ideology. Covid crash was a completely unpredictable, unpreventable, exogenous event, in so far as Trump fired or ignored everyone in the CDC and CDC Chinese office, CIA pandamic forecasters, and Obama's international pandemic team before the plague started, and then told everyone it was an exogeneous event once it happened. Nevermind the meetings he held with Kushner where they determined that more Democratic voters would be killed by election day than Republicans so they didn't need to take action in the early stages. No, the Republican Party gets to own this pandemic, and the crash it created. If they had tried their best to mitigate it and failed, then we could give them the benefit of the doubt, but they did the opposite. So three crashes within the modern political party orientation, all of which were either directly overseen or the result of modern Republican ideology.

as someone who has spent my career in biopharma/biotech. Do you yourself a favor and don’t try to invest. Just by the way you’ve worded this question shows you have no business doing so (it isn’t a single patent cliff…each asset has its own IP). But to answer your question, yes pharma companies will fill their pipeline ahead of loss of exclusivity via M&A activity. I invest here but only in therapeutic areas I am VERY familiar with and feel (and it’s still hit and miss) I don’t mean to come off rude and hope I didn’t, just trying to tell you that there are so many better industries to invest in. To be successful in this space you need a lot more knowledge than corporate valuation (regulatory, IP, clinical, commercialization, payer, etc). And even if you get everything right, the FDA (CDER/CBER) or CDC and destroy a product unilaterally

Ok_Cry7572

Why is no one talking about the danger of EMF radiation We’re surrounded by EMF radiation constantly, phones,WiFi,5G towers, power lines but no one really talks about what it’s doing to us. A UC Berkeley study found that just 17 minutes a day on a phone for 10 years increases brain cancer risk by 60% The CDC has even linked EMFs to two types of brain tumors. Other studies show EMFs disrupt hormones, damage DNA, and cause oxidative stress which accelerates aging and leads to chronic health issues. The craziest part? The telecom industry spends over $130 million a year lobbying to keep this quiet. The government even stopped funding research on EMF dangers back in the ‘90s. Its not like we can avoid EMFs. Even if you don’t use WiFi your neighbors do. Even if you don’t own a phone, youre still getting hit by signals from satellites, smart meters, and cell towers. I

pedrocas_drocas

First of all I told you of metrics on healthcare availability which is just about the only thing the president can directly influence and Trump has influenced it negatively. Ignoring that healthcare availability is important when discussing "healthcare quality" is disingenuous and the negative effect on it by Trump is simply a fact The decline in measles vaccination is definitely tied to the increase in anti vax sentiment and the people getting infected are people who are unvaccinated. Idk what you could possibly be referring to with Democrats lying about the Covid vaccine but it feels like guilt shifting to the 'other side' (in case this isn't clear btw the covid 19 vaccine is safe) RFK is definitely an anti vaxxer with multiple interviews over the years claiming anti vax viewpoints and rhetoric. Even more interesting are his actions to cut vaccine research spending (500 million in mRNA vaccine researching cut by him) and firing the whole CDC Vaccine Advisory panel, which was made up by a bunch of respected scientists, with a small number of people, all with a history of anti vax views. RFK jr has done nothing to improve healthcare and dozens of medical professionals have called for his resignation because a lot of his policy changes have undermined science based policies. The warning signs by the professionals are there, heard immunity on measles is fucked too and Trump appointed him so yes they are both to blame

I don't like GWB, but he clearly had enough brains to staff up CDC China. We all knew Trump 1.0 was a pedo. Good on your for getting your rocks off to that.

> Trump 1.0 being a universally despised goober running around spouting weird shit and accomplishing none of it Trump 1.0 deported a Detroit diabetic to Iraq, a country where he didn't speak the language or know anyone, where he died on the street like a dog because he didn't have access to insulin. https://www.google.com/search?q=Jimmy+Aldaoud Trump 1.0 separated children from their families in camps with no tracking or plans to reunite them with their families. Trump 1.0 gutted CDC China from 48 people down to a skeleton crew. GWB and Obama staffed it up because they knew China had issues with identifying and containing break outs. Trump 1.0 whitehouse was briefed by the US military that something was going down in Wuhan, because spy satellites showed that that hospital parking lots were filling up. If GWB was president it could have contained before it left China and we'd barely remember it like the Bird flu outbreaks 20+ years ago. Fuck anyone that thinks that was "awesome to watch"

It's almost like that when one party continuously expands the bounds of politics/partisan politics, political views end up being discussed in more places. 20 years ago the post office wasn't a political issue.

Now you have to listen to political commentary in the stocks subreddit because the president is personally meddling in our national economic data :)

Chased down as much media as I could about it. I probably spent 2-3 hours a day looking at or for information about COVID. To be 100% clear, it did not impact the vast majority of people in the WORLD until March, but I already had stocked up on TP (2 months worth, I am not a physco), a handful of 24 packs of bottled water, etc. I have watched and seen the dramatization and had a good idea of what happens in critical instances of virus spreading, the WHO, and CDC's playbooks that had been dramatized, eg. Hotzone, Contagion, Outbreak, etc. Please downvote me for chasing something that my monkey brain always has lurking.

Scientific discovery is never weakened more than when an administration refuses grants to CDC to study pathogens, diseases and potential epidemics to find cures or research grants to colleges to make new discoveries in science and technology. This is nothing more than political masterminding of the results they want-smoke and mirrors.

LateralEntry

What do you think the NIH, CDC, etc do?

MyBloodTypeIsQueso

Right. And if the admin were lying about the numbers, you’d get bureaucrats leaking the truth to the press. Just like today when it came out that RFK demanded that the CDC website link vaccines to autism. It was rank and file that leaked that to the press and threw him under the bus. If the BLS was lying, we’d all know.

I weirdly find it difficult to respond to this. The hubris. Sure, we do know what happens when the economy suffers. Anyone older than 55 has grown up through the stagflation of the 70s, the dotcom bubble, the great recession. Well... we're experience all three right now. Add to the stagflation, the ai bubble, and the credit stress --- global tariffs, a market decoupled from the economy that relies on the health of the mag 7, record debt and defaults, ai replacement, geopolitical tension, and now we're losing social programs that actually put America first while the government is shut down. Might as well add another pandemic since the CDC is strained and the population is anti-science. So... who really knows what is around the corner? I think it's pretty obvious to say it isn't a new golden age.

Acceptable-Drama-684

Believe me, here in the USA many (if not most) of us are saddened, frustrated, and terrified of the changes and illegal activities being carried out by this administration. Our food prices are skyrocketing while quantity & quality are decreasing. Our administration is undoing 100 years of civil rights gains for women, non-whites, LGBTQ+, and every other minority you can think of. Affordable and/or subsidized Health care will be taken away from millions over the next 4 years. Life-saving vaccines are no longer being recommended or supported by our CDC. The Democratic Party is refusing to vote for a spending bill to fund our government until some of the health care subsidies are restored. Oh, and help for the homeless is not only greatly decreased, but it is becoming illegal in more and more places for homeless people to sleep on public land. So encampments are cleared, and peoples belongings are discarded, often leaving them further on the fringes of society and literally with nowhere they are allowed to legally survive. The rich are getting richer in both legal and highly illegal ways, including our president and his family, while the middle and lower class is suffering more day by day and struggling to make ends meet. And it will likely get much worse. It’s a complete sad and scary shit show.

It is interesting to me how all in this subreddit is on the idea that Trump Always Chickens Out. The average applied US tariff rate in 2024 was 2.5%, currently it is 17.9% In other words, Trump has actually managed to increase the tax on US consumers by 15%. This has a massive affect on the cost of living and will impact consumer stocks over the next few years. I think China is trying to talk Trump down a little- they have a factory based economy after all, these tariffs are bad for their economy. But I don't think there is any way to know what will happen next. Trump is mercurial and Congress is unwilling to reel him in. Meanwhile, most of the CDC got fired on Friday and air traffic controllers are being told to work without pay.
