Heinous—Trump WH/HHS is planning to likely destroy $500 million worth of stockpiled COVID tests. They could give it out for free, but then Trump and RFK Jr would have to admit COVID is serious. And minimizers don’t have the guts to admit millions died. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

A key federal agency overseeing 15 million acres of public lands in California has halted some critical fire prevention work because of the massive freeze in government funding directed by Donald Trump.

I think I feel the same way about the cold and snow as this little guy. #birds

There have been major developments on the H5N1 front this week. I wouldn't spend too much energy yelling at an administration to do something when they've already made it clear they aren't going to. Get ready. I think we're almost out of time. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/everything...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Good news: CDC back to posting MMWR reports www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... Bad news: The bird flu data and 3 studies were omitted, and 2 new household-cat transmissions unreported www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

The only toy he will play with, no matter how much I shop. #dogs

Back yard visitor. Believe it's a Cooper's Hawk. #birds

The Ground Hog emerged this morning, and what he saw, so terrified him that he turned around, went back into his hole, and started frantically burrowing to Canada.

No idea what he’s looking at. #dogs

This data belongs to the taxpayers, not the administration. It should be freely available. A government that hides information and lacks transparency will only harm us in the long run.
