    1. >Before Dr. Brian Christine was tapped to lead America’s public hantavirus response, he was an Alabama-based urologist who specialized in penile implants, CNN reported Friday.

      >Christine currently serves as the assistant secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and as such is one of the top public health officials running the country’s infectious disease policy. Earlier this week, he told reporters in Nebraska that the agency’s response to the dangerous outbreak would be “grounded in science” and “grounded in transparency.”

      >Yet Christine’s resume seems far and away from that of a typical U.S. health official. While he has some public health experience under his belt, having served as a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he has also espoused dangerous far-right beliefs and spread wellness conspiracy theories.

      >He rebuked coronavirus mandates and spread conspiracy theories about treatment plans that sowed doubt and division over the government’s public health response at the time. He has claimed that the pandemic was a part of a wider government plot to control people, and he skirted questions from the U.S. Senate as to whether or not he would recommend the Covid vaccine to his patients.

      >The 62-year-old admiral also hosted a YouTube series titled “Erection Connection,” a professional show for other urologists discussing erectile dysfunction.

      Pubic health though… I mean it’s just one letter off. In this administration that almost makes him overqualified.

      If this was a serious risk of a epidemic it would be scary but this is kinda funny that trumps got an expertise in penile implant doctors.

      Hantavirus can only spread in places like cruise ships that are both high density and using ship reservoir water thats contaminated.

      These simply are not as communicable as COVID. Hanta is a cruise ship and war trench virus that cant really do to much to spread outside extreme human conditions those require with dense bodies and rodents having access to highly shared hydration and nutrition sources. Hanta viruses wont spread from even brief human contact in urban and suburban areas with the most basic sanitation methods used normally

      To reduce your risk of getting hanta virus wear a mask when cleaning droppings. Its only airborn when dried feces or urine becomes airborn. Thats largely also how the virus is spread by humans infected. Its simply not gonna spread in the living areas by human contact much if any at all

      I’m surprised they nominated an actual doctor, not an essential oils selling wellness influencer.

    5. Can this stuff be any more asinine? Trump’s people picks are always least qualified. Maybe the guy is a great penis implanter, maybe make the small ones bugger, the soft ones hard again, but what does he know about the Hantavirus?

      Has he had sufficient experience with raccoon penises to satisfy Kennedy?

      So now we find out that Trump not only have a tiny mushroom penis, but that it was also an implant?

      This is so on brand. If you remember his pick for total expert on all things Covid, he Dr shopped to find someone who would nod approvingly when Trump prescribed bleach and lights up the ass and ivermectin. Dr Atlas I presume. When you enter Donnie land facts and reality fall conveniently to the side. Just make shit up, your attendants will make it real for you. God help us if/when the next health crisis breaks out.

    10. He’s supposed to kill as many Americans as possible. It’s in Project 2025, to eliminate 1/3 of the U.S. population or more.

      And somehow they are not in prison and this isn’t a problem.
