H5N1 Update
The virus marches on while we inch towards answers
"It’s a good idea to monitor Your Local Epidemiologist as she’s a proxy for the Establishment “science.” YLE is, of course, spreading fear over Bird Flu & infections in cow herds. Excerpt:
“We have over 40 vaccine formulas ready for bird flu … The federal government started manufacturing 4.8 million vaccines in case this jumps to humans on a larger scale. They will be ready this summer. “
I also noted this bullet: “Only 11% of herds have used federal funds to increase testing or biosecurity.” So: “biosecurity” is a big thing with cow herds. I say beware of mass testing - it leads to mass vaccines!
"
It’s been 3 months since H5N1 (bird flu) was reported in American dairy cows. Many of you are asking for an update. So, here we go! A snapshot of where we are today.
Note: If you’re new here and unfamiliar with H5N1, I recommend starting at this previous post to catch up. Glad you’re joining us for the scientific discovery ride!
Is it still spreading?
Ye…
