It isn't whataboutism. It's facts and data. It's in response to the the ridiculous low-IQ statements from the OP claiming that the US is a biohazard now because the fascists in charge fired people at the CDC.

Read the article I linked. There are plenty of cases of measles in the European Union, along with low vaccination coverage, and they haven't fired anyone at their CDC. Should we be knee-jerk calling to restrict travel to and from the EU?

But I love how you think the EU measles and vaccination issue is a US import, instead of what it really is.
