A main reason pseudoscience & disinformation sticks is because of low science literacy.

The measles outbreak in Texas is because of RFK Jr & anti-vaccine profiteering.

Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 because of vaccines. But RFK Jr’s lies have reduced vaccine rates & cause PREVENTABLE outbreaks.

The H5N1 Bird Flu virus is showing concerning mutations, particularly the PB2 E627K mutation.
This mutation helps the virus adapt to mammals, including humans, and spread through the air.
It was present in the 1918 Spanish Flu, the Cambodian Bird Flu outbreak, and is now found in bobcats.
