Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

🚨H7N9 hits Mississippi broiler facility. Where did this come from? According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC, the case fatality rate (CFR) for H7N9 has been around 30–40% among hospitalized cases. www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe... #onehealth #h5n1 #h7n9 #vetmed #birdflu

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

Confirmation needed but this was one way many folks pointed out that RFK Jr can destroy vaccines without simply taking them away. ACIP reviews data and makes recommendations about vaccine usage in the US.

Every morning I wake up and remember that all of this is real and that somehow I still need and want to give my child a great life. Sometimes it feels really heavy.

TL;DR Young students brain not working as expected after COVID-19 infections.

APHIS analysis of H5N1 D1.1 discovered in dairy cattle in Nevada identified a mutation (PB2 D701N) "associated with mammalian adaptation [that] improves RNA polymerase activity and replication efficiency in mammalian cells and has potential to impact pathogenesis" www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/defaul...

This just feels like the bad guys win and it’s horrible and not fair and not how anything is supposed to go. And I know I sound like a child at the moment whining about this .. but that is just where I am at the moment. šŸ˜”

The ā€œHillary’s emailsā€ crowd is somehow fine with Elon and his friends having all our SS info and bank data? So, it was never about our national security. It was never about her emails.

American health workers looking to relocate? Doorway to practice medicine in Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ We have job openings nationwide. www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

1/ Today's Farm Policy News Summary covers how the #BirdFlu virus has affected more than 136 million commercial, backyard and wild birds, 900 dairy cattle herds and dozens of people in the US since 2022, "and the #outbreak shows no signs of abating." farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2025/01/temp...

This amount of stress isn’t healthy.

Great initiative in the UK: pupils learn about air quality at University of Reading. The children used handheld devices to measure the level of pollutants in the air while the experiments were taking place and discussed how pollutants can impact our health. www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/2486489...

Trump moves to block the CDC & WHO from releasing info about H5N1 Bird Flu. I wonder if it’s dawning on MAGA that Trump doesn’t care about anyone and that includes them. www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/sit...

Ok, let’s deal with this before we all just give up and start partying like it’s our last day alive on Earth.

Everyone can relax: we already have a vaccine for H5N1. šŸ‘ Oh wait, the person in charge of distributing the H5N1 stockpile thinks vaccines are the devil. NOT GOOD!

Real chat. If bird flu is spreading outdoors in the air on tiny bird shit particles .. and COVID is spreading indoors through human respiratory particles. How the fuck are we supposed to survive this?

"To make matters worse, samples taken from the individual suggest that the virus mutated within the patient after infection—meaning it had begun to adapt to infect humans better—raising new questions about H5N1’s pandemic potential." publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/bird-fl...

I’ve been reading about the bird flu virus, H5N1, that’s progressing… (cont. in thread) UnMasked Thoughts: 8 - Medium: face masks and paint markers. • January 2025, Ave •

UK trains are COVID-19 /RSV / H5N1 recirculation machines www.imperial.ac.uk/news/237571/... as are ChiCom carriages pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #covid #rsv #flu #h5n1 #transit #publichealth

Meanwhile, RFK Jr will start claiming that bird flu combined with LSD will allow him to fly... #BirdFlu www.npr.org/2024/12/18/n...

So a reminder: It’s not ā€˜liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ā€˜liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ā€˜liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/
