As an American I fully support such proposals.
Yeah as an American I generally support the rest of the world trying to drag us back into the civilized world however they can.
But at the same time, international travel inconveniences will have a 0% effect on a LOT of people who need the message.
Sorry, all you get is proof of brain worms and essential oils.
Proof of vaccinations are now stamped by RFK Jr. himself.

He looks like he may be a giant brain worm wearing a corpse.
Did Alex Jones not wear suits?
Famously, not really. He's always stuck to business casual at best to make himself look more like a "man of the people".
not that I watched him at all so I don't know of this image is representative, but whenever I think of him I see him in a wifebeater

Worm stocks rise.
Stocks in companies that make chainsaws powerful enough to cut the heads off of whales are through the roof.

Am I the only one who thinks companies providing healthcare and life saving medicines shouldn't be fucking publicly traded?? They need to focus on helping humanity, not the fucking bottom line go up or whatever.
Well yes that's obvious
It's supposed to be publicly funded, not traded
Someone a long time ago must have misheard
Except it's actually the best of both worlds for the rich - as far as I know, a lot of these companies are publicly traded AND receive public funding.
Publicity traded, AKA shareholders leverage the company to make return on their investment and this company also receives public money just for the hell of it? Wow, what a combination. Totally not a setup for major exploitation.

Sooo, anyone want to take bets that Bird Flu is going to be the next pandemic?
The government has decided that pandemics are a hoax and as such do not exist.
Off to the gulag, I go.
Avian flu thankfully didn't become a major pandemic in times past due to luck and measures taken. But SARS in 2003 could have become a major pandemic... because COVID-19 is a variant of the 2003 SARS...
This sentence bears all the context it needs.
So... Which billionaire republican buddy is gonna buy them up before they announce 'lol jk'?
Good job American voters. /s

I want to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride.
These companies are huge, and know how to lobby the government. It seems to be the wrong industry to piss off.
I never thought I'd side with big corporations...but for the next 4 years, some of them may well be the lesser evil.

Pharmaceuticals are an important component of modern life. We really need them now more than ever. They are a good thing.
Their capitalist greed and the big money that runs them is also doing all it can to suck every last cent out of the public.
Unfortunately both things can be true.

That's one thing I'm putting some hope in. Tariffs and stupid shit like Worm Boy running our national health infrastructure into the ground benefit no one. Not big companies, not us little guys. I'd hope these big companies will lobby hard to mitigate the stupidity that is bearing down on us.

Making Polio great again!
This is farcical. Operation Warp Speed (fast development of Covid vaccines) was one of the few good things that Trump 1.0 did.
From tragedy to farce as you give Trump credit for the work of Nobel prize winning medical scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman. Bloodly hell we are moving towards being North Korea.
