The Trump administration is canceling a nearly $600-million contract to the drugmaker Moderna that was intended to develop a shot for humans against bird flu.

A junkie is the Senate confirmed HHS Secretary. Please say that out loud to yourself. I'll wait. Now contemplate whether it is wise to let a "former rich kid who thought heroin was a good idea" make what are medical decisions for the rest of us.
do you really think they're not able to afford to hole themselves up and have other people do everything outside the home for them? they can pay enough to not expose themselves.
It an absolute shame the NYT refused to report the truth about Trump. Another example of American lives being lost so a large corporation shows profit. GFY.
RFK Jr is a lying, murdering, psychopathic criminal who is attempting to kill 100s of millions of innocent people and their children with his Nazi eugenics policies. He is a truly sick person who belongs in a prison for the criminally insane.
America intent on becoming a sad little enclosed borders country where people can’t go and where its citizens will be unwelcome anywhere else. The DPRK of the West.
They just keep on making the wrong decisions every single time. They knew what was right but chose the wrong one on purpose. They are demolishing the country. It is so ironic that 77 million people thought he would make America great.
They haven’t paid their Trump bribe. C’mon. Who thinks they get a gov’t contract that large without paying the Trump bribe? They’ll pay it, and everyone will move on. Including Dems in Congress who are essentially trying to keep all the Trump bribes a secret.
The anti-science,
snake-oil salesmen
who now control
our health care system,
won't allow shots
if the Bird Flu
gets out of hand,
& make COVID
boosters hard
to get.
Those backwards
dummies might
get us all killed.
The increasing brain drain in the United States will keep shrinking our power and our economy.
The question to ask: "Why is the Republican Party destroying our wealth and power?"
They are. Together with measles. All vaccines are now shunned, even if felon RFK somewhat stepping back a bit on the measles one when he is confronted with reports of dead children.
If nothing else the dropped USAID programs will spike in polio infections which of course will spread worldwide.
MAGA folk have their lifetime supply of Ivermectin so there is no need for any vaccines besides it's the "bird flu" not the human flu and birds don't vote.
It took like five stories here to find one that truly affects people. Does NYT understand how many poor people are getting screwed and how many rich people are getting rich? I actually assume so. But in other news, this is a big story!
Covid killed a lot of right wing nuts, because they're anti-vax. I guess they think that not having a vaccine at all will kill more left wing people?
That's my attempt at using their "logic"
serious question (yes i should read the various reports) is this ideology or simply about cost .. ie why spend x for the sake of y falling sick & dying?
I'd rather not as well, but 77M Americans didn't agree with me or you, so now we're in a much worse position. At least last time, we still had experts at the helm in most organizations that mattered. This time, it's gonna be different.
Well, just because RFK Jr. had no education or experience in health, medicine, science doesn't mean he can't responsibly run the HHS...oh...wait...As a matter of fact, it does mean that.
Big pharma gives $ to both parties but its contributions to the MAGA GOP are worthless and counterproductive. They should re-think. Why give to conspiracy loons who want to destroy public health and your business?
Culling the herd seems to be their target. It’s one way to reduce expenses on the one hand but not a good way to handle the economy. Do they not remember what happened with COVID19 under 🍊🤡?
Can’t just “cancel it.” Lawsuit incoming. They will lose again. This is what happens when law firms capitulate to a madman. They are on the hook for pro-bono work that hurts all Americans. It’s pure insanity.
Same with books, what'll happen to all the worlds books when we cross the global warming tipping point?.. That's right they'll all spontaneously combust, so better to burn them all now, apart from the ones from select orange authors
As a trans refugee, I’ve seen how quickly health systems can collapse and how decisions like this put lives at risk, especially for people already living on the edge.
Bird flu has jumped to mammals. It can have up to a 50% mortality rate in humans. For reference, I believe covid's mortality rate was 2-3%? Elections have consequences.
Yes, it seems so. At least for this one we do have existing treatments and vaccines stockpiled. Though I'm not aware of how effective said vaccines are w.r.t the current strain/s going around.
From the admin that absolutely bungled its response to Covid, this is alarming. They bet wrong on the impact of Covid and thousands died. Looks like they are willing to double down on their recklessness.
tRump said that he's carrying out a mission from God. I hope God knows what he/she is doing and strike down that Orange Satan and his followers. This world will be so much better without them!
Since humanity widely rejects anthropogenic climate change by continuing to increase human population, and Republicans specifically evade, minimize, or deny that scientific fact, while actively promoting overpopulation with family values, no one should be surprised at any other rejection of science.
wait till the virus is rampant and then attempt to thwart it by starting to develop a vaccine 🤔 I think “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” comes to mind….
We are beyond outraged. We are terrified and exhausted and, as planned, overwhelmed by the daily barrage of terrible. We have to take breaks from the news just to keep functioning. We have to keep caring for our kids and working our jobs while navigating all this.
The EU should fund this research and then prevent its use in the United States. Assuming this is research also produces a chicken vaccine, they can wait until eggs are $100 apiece and then recoup the cost of the research from us.
The abolition of infection prevention in the USA will have global consequences:
It will have a eugenic effect (influencing social systems and overpopulation) and exert further pressure on democracies through epidemics.
Humanism is entering an end time of misery that only elites should survive.
I guess like Pete said on the air about germs if he doesn't see them he don't believe they exist. fucking idiots will all be clucking in 2-3 years because of these idiots

"The bird flu came from China. The deepstate democrats caused this to ruin my accomplishments of the last 2 years"
Say her name. I’ve kidnapped a disabled U.S. woman
Millions will die due to his presidency.
TELL THE TRUTH!
Simply think of the most cruelest, stupidest, and short-sightedness action.

The word is TACO, as in
Trump Always Chickens Out. Bring it to your rallies and townhall meetings. Speak up
Speak out
No one will do it for you!!!

I just went through my H5N1 notes. EU did get some new vaccines from Seqirus. I'd expect them to conduct such tests, though it's reported those vaccines are already compatible. https://www.politico.eu/article/finland-to-receive-first-eu-procured-bird-flu-shots/
If it happens, at least we won't be blind this time 🥴✌️

Call the White House at 202-456-1111 as well. Since the current occupant’s responsible for all this in the first place.
Thank you 🙏
