When the manifestly unqualified POTUS DonOld Drumpf chose a manifestly unqualified, anti-vaccine nut job and former heroin and cocaine addict with a worm-eaten brain who has a fetish for collecting animal road-kill carcasses as the person to oversee and safeguard the public health of 330 million Americans, who on God's earth could have predicted that we would see a resurgence of the previously eliminated disease of Measles and tens of thousands of Americans sickened by food-borne illnesses across the country?

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 100 people in 17 states have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak tied to recalled eggs, federal health officials said Friday.
The 98 people had illnesses that started between Nov. 21 and June 30, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No deaths have been reported, but 26 people have been hospitalized.
Investigators have determined that shell eggs recalled by Midwest Poultry Services are a likely source of the germ, but the Indiana-based company doesn’t account for all the illnesses.
Midwest Poultry previously recalled eggs produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3. The eggs were sold under several brand names and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and Aug. 17.
Among the stores that received the recalled eggs were Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana and Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi."
What is the glaringly obvious moral of the story here?
Don't hire a manifestly unqualified, anti-vaccine nut job and former heroin and cocaine addict with a worm-eaten brain who has a fetish for collecting animal road-kill carcasses as the person to oversee and safeguard the public health of 330 million Americans.
That sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
