Bird Flu: because every time these Christians elect Caligula, God sends a new plague.
There is a bird flu vaccine for vultures and condors. There is a bird flu vaccine in development for cattle (by Moderna, for one). But a bird flu vaccine for humans by Moderna has been cancelled by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): wapo.st/43kxnVf (gift article).
HHS cancels funding for Moderna to develop vaccines to combat bird flu
The department cited Moderna’s use of the messenger RNA technology, which it said “remains under-tested,” for the cancellation of the funding.

This administration is getting bolder in its defiance of the Courts and we should all be alarmed.
From refusing to return a mistakenly deported man to denying freedom of the press, their dangerous ignorance of checks and balances threatens our nation's very foundation.
