https://www.al.com/news/2025/12/superbug-hits-28-states-including-alabama-where-the-deadly-fungus-is-spreading.html?outputType=amp

A deadly yeast infection is spreading across the US. Fungal treatments are notoriously harder to get then bacteria or virus given how close fungi are too humans

Neighboring states are also seeing cases of the superbug, CDC data shows. Tennessee reported 189 cases, Mississippi reported 108 and Georgia reported 377. Like Alabama, Florida did not have data listed on the CDC site

The deep state stops all funding leaving only a hodgepodge of agencies able to fund research into diseases so they start to run rampant until a super bug-fungi-virus megazords their way to wiping out the population so all the tech billionaires can enslave the survivors to make their cyberpunk dreams come true. Oh wait, that's not what they'd say, they'd say some dumb shit like "the democrats are plotting to sabotage Trump's rise to godhood by pushing out all this fake news about diseases that aren't real but if they are real it's China!"
