It is also (in part) the foreseeable outcome, from destroying USAID in nations where these viral vectors are multi-year epidemics.

But here we are -- Chicago saw cases last summer; SF as well. Then last week, a case appeared in NYC. Now Mizzou has seen. . . two. Welcome to the chaos theory of governing -- as implemented by the federal public health authorities (thanks, Tangerine, and RFK, Jr.):
