Trump's new death pandemic. Didn't kill enough first time
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.
RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

Denial broke us. Our refusal to face the realities of the Covid pandemic has led to a rise in anti vaccine, anti science rhetoric that is costing lives. It’s damaging entire generations. It’s dividing and isolating people. It’s paving the way for fascism.
Five years on and we’re still going round and round with whether Covid is airborne. There’s no scientific doubt. Denial broke us.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/
