The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The US takes the fight against mosquito-borne illness seriously. Through the CDC, the US has partnered with universities through the Vector-Borne Disease Regional Centers of Excellence to research and develop innovative solutions for the control and prevention of vector-transmitted diseases. The Centers continue to play a role in preventing and responding to outbreaks using those solutions across the country.

CDC

Establishment-critical narrative

While robust health protocols are important, there's also a political reason why the US has seen an uptick in previously-eradicated diseases. Unlike their law-abiding counterparts, illegal immigrants cross the border without being screened for dangerous diseases like tuberculosis, leprosy, polio, cholera, diphtheria, and smallpox, among others. As shown by decades of no alarming upticks, the government obviously knows how to keep these illnesses out, and that solution is stopping illegal immigration.

Narrative C

In 2020, the CDC reported 17 different vector-borne illnesses and nine pathogens new to the US since 2004. The West Nile virus outbreak of 2021 in Arizona proved that the US is unprepared for such events and it has experts very concerned. As climate change has accelerated, it's shifted the environments conducive to mosquito-borne illness to new areas of the globe. Not only is the government woefully unprepared but so are medical professionals and healthcare facilities.
