I've been working on something similar. In just a few years, I expect my blood will be the cure to high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, coronaviruses, bird flu, pig flu, cat flu, sloth flu, obesity, the common cold, bad credit, tone-deafness and hair loss.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns β€” but said Kennedy wishes β€œsubservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

BREAKING: Bird flu spreads to mammals, fears of human transmission Highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has increasingly spread to mammals and infected hundreds of people, raising concerns that it may lead to human-to-human transmission and turn into a new pandemic.

FDA cancels vaccine advisory committee meeting to select next year’s flu strain for no reason open.substack.com/pub/drrubin/... I just don't get it . It's like they want to hurt people

We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

β€œThis recent discovery adds rats to more than 50 North American mammal species infected with H5N1…” (Just my two cents, but probably not the best time to silence the CDC) www.newsweek.com/bird-flu-fou...

"he’s preparing to sack members... (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices" US was looking like 4th world country Only country w/ #H5N1 (B3.13 geno) in Dairy Herds added 2 (D1.1 w/ & w/o PB2 D701N) Now conf LIVE H5N1 raw chicken pet food taking fifth? www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

#USDA didn't report any new #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herds today. They only reported 4 new herds last week, in CA (2), MI (1) & NV (1). Given what's happening in the US government right now, it's not clear if there are no new herds to report or a testing backlog.

Grateful to Sumit Chanda at Scripps research for inviting me to present my lab’s work on pandemic origins & H5N1 at this wonderful symposium today. Link to attend virtually: scrippsresearch.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

"How to Prevent a Bird Flu Pandemic"

So far 2025 makes the pandemic look like the golden years.

Start preparing for the next pandemic.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Bird flu poses an increasing pandemic threat as it becomes more adaptive, jumping to humans, pets and zoo animals, Europe’s disease and food agencies has warned.

πŸ“’ Bluesky 1.97 is rolling out now! β€’ User profile pages now include a "Video" tab! β€’ After reporting a user in DMs, you are now given a quick menu to block the user and/or delete the conversation β€’ Updated translations

Tick... Tick... Tick... People will say things like "Infection with seasonal flu may protect against H5N1" (see also common coronaviruses vs. SARS-CoV-2). Even H5N1 infection may not prevent H5N1 reinfection in cows (see also SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in humans). www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

Out today in @foreignpolicy.com: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans. If H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/30/r...

The Trump administration directs federal health agencies to pause communications. Bird flu is part of that.

Eggs up 37%. You can thank Bird flu in the streets and Bird brain in the White House. www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

We had to get in on the video action too β€” Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

What a year! Bluesky opened its doors just last February. Since then, we opened federation, launched video, rolled out trending topics, and a whole lot more. Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year ahead! πŸŽ‰

Scientists are racing to develop a new mRNA vaccine to tackle bird flu before it mutates to human-to-human spread.

Scientists at RAND warn that H5N1 bird flu poses increasing risks in the U.S., with human cases of unknown origin and widespread animal transmission. They stress the urgent need for nationwide measures to prevent a potential mutation enabling human-to-human transmission.

Counties affected by H5N1 bird flu in wild birds, according to the CDC.

⚠️ BREAKING: The CDC's wastewater program has detected H5 bird flu in wastewater samples from Iowa and Illinois, despite no known active cases of bird flu in dairy cattle or humans in these areas.
