We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Refusing to take the man at his word is ridiculous. I've never understood it and frankly this is a white person thing.
