If we could get enough people to stop eating animal products at the same time, it would simultaneously lower their personal risks of infection, the risks of another pandemic, and it could hit the animal ag industries hard - who are some of the largest funders of the gop.
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 big event will be someone with regular human flu getting bird flu, giving the virus opportunities to swap DNA segments. If it gets the transmissibility of our standard influenza and the lethality of bird flu, it’ll be a rough six months to a year before we have vaccines for it as it rips through our population.
Especially considering flu vaccines are made with eggs, and this disease is currently thoroughly decimating our egg producing livestock.
The lethality is 52%. If it rips through the population, we’re looking at total collapse well before the vaccine is available.
No coincidences, trump will always bring disease and ruin. You keep welcoming the fox back into the henhouse, America.
Between this and Gaza (and everything else), I really honestly don’t think we have seen a person in all of human history who checks more boxes of being the antichrist.
Like fuck, he literally brings pestilence and disease with him.
