No coincidences, trump will always bring disease and ruin. You keep welcoming the fox back into the henhouse, America.
The constant edging with bird flu mania is going to make people not pay attention when it actually pops off.
This is it popping off. We’ve already lost a huge portion of chickens in the US. We’re seeing dozens of cases in humans. And it’s in cows too. The only reason it doesn’t feel like a big deal is because we as a nation aren’t doing anything about it yet, only individual farms are. Same way COVID went from “is this a big deal?” to “oh fuck shut everything down”.
The problem is that the CDC isn’t getting to say anything right now, so we can assume that the moment they get to talk about it, the stupidest people you know are going to go “woah this was really sudden! They clearly made it in a lab!”
That’s actually a really good counter point that I hadn’t thought of.
Thank you, I’ve spent a lot of time giving myself brain damage so I can understand the perspective of conservatives.
Huff a lot of glue or paint, maybe ram a crayon or two in your brain. Then you might get close to understanding.
If we just stop testing it will go away like magic. Did you learn nothing from Covid?
When would you like to be alarmed? For me it was when it jumped to mammals.
The little boy who called bird flu, but I think the call here is that it is difficult to feel safe behind the idea that it does not cross the species barrier when you have bird flu in cows.
Unfortunately people will just think “Hey I’ve seen this bird flu in the news and it didn’t seem bad.” Then they ignore all virologist recommendations and we have a second pandemic.
Too little information is as bad as too much, it is a difficult balance. The problem with information dissemination last time was not oversaturation but that people latched onto ridiculous conspiracy narratives and that derives from lack of basic education not too much news.
And this time there will be zero investment in stopping it spreading when it starts killing people
If it escapes under Trump’s leadership can we call it the trump virus? Please?
Trump virus 2
Bird flu boogaloo
Morbus Maga.
There is also a reputed new cat-to/from-human transmission vector for H5N1, which was briefly noted in a CDC report last week before being redacted: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/health/cdc-bird-flu-cats-people.html . NYT article may be paywalled, but details can be found in other media sources as well.
Corona 2 electric boogaloo here we come!
This would be much worse than COVID. Bird flu is far more deadly.
The mask thing is going to be so funny again… I guess … ughhhhhhhhhhhh. Subscribe to the WHO if you haven’t already
I’d be more than willing to build special warehouses for the unvaccinated manned by doctors and midwives with tons of knowledge about holistic medicine and essential oils, get them out of real hospitals
wouldn’t doubt if this is musk and thiel, sowing chaos.
also wouldn’t doubt if covid was them too.
just like how thiel dry runned a bank collapse with silcon valley bank. or musk dry runned doge with Twitter.
they dry runned h5n1 with cov19.
Maybe I’m late to the party, but do you think that the actual plan might be to kill as many of us as possible to weaken any potential uprising?
Ah, the classic baseless dummy conspiracy theory of governments murdering own people for a reason or another.
Edit: typo it -> or
Oh man, my comment wasn’t totally serious but totally based on fear. I guess that’s exactly how conspiracies start. If my rhetorical-turned-accidental-theory turns out to be right, I’m gonna be super-bummed.
Yeah, another trait is “it might be true”. Dude, it might be true that anther head grows on you, but it’s not very likely, is it?
Quit talking probability around my second head. He’s none-too-smart and doesn’t handle fractions well.
The Fartographer over here being whimsical and catching flack. I see you, map maker.
*flak, and they’re a fartographer, not a cartographer.
Technically correct. The best kind.
Who’s plan? The ketamine addicts or the pants shitter?
They aren’t smart enough to develop a disease, but they are stupid enough to think that if they don’t do anything about it, no one will notice (don’t test for covid and the numbers will go down)
Fiction can be fun.
You make more for them alive then dead.
