  • Mother Jones was founded to do journalism differently. We stand for justice and democracy. We reject false equivalence. We go after stories others don't. We're a nonprofit newsroom, because the kind of truth-telling investigations we do doesn't happen under corporate ownership.

The article from Mother Jones discusses Donald Trump's potential response to a bird flu outbreak, drawing parallels to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights Trump's past skepticism towards scientific advice, his promotion of unproven treatments like hydroxychloroquine, and his tendency to downplay the severity of health crises. The piece suggests that if faced with a bird flu outbreak, Trump might again prioritize economic concerns over public health, potentially undermining efforts to control the spread of the virus. It also mentions his administration's dismantling of the White House's National Security Council's global health security team, which could impact the nation's preparedness for such an event. The article underscores the fear among public health experts that Trump's approach could lead to a mishandled response, exacerbating the situation.
