Given the engineered collapse of USAID and the NIH in the USA, as well as their turning away from WHO support, what are the most likely future scenarios? Can the other developed nations mount a credible pandemic response without the resources of the USA?

I am especially interested in global perspectives because pathogens don’t need passports. How might this impact the global order?

In the USA something like 8% of adults have ideal metabolic health, that means 92% have a compromised immune system

Do you have a (written) source for that? I want to see how they came up with the numbers. Should be interesting.

Prevalence of Optimal Metabolic Health in American Adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2016

Metabolically healthy Americans.... at 12%

My data shows 88% metabolically unhealthy as of 2016, so I'm guessing it hasn't improved since then. But the exact numbers are not so important, the trend and prevalence

The more recent paper on this has it at 8% but I don't have that link handy.
