Between isolating itself economically from the global community and this bird flu (and the lackadaisical attitude of its administration towards medicine in favor of anecdotal wife's tale treatments) the US is so gonna implode in the coming 4 years.

The D1.1 genotype jumping into cattle in Nevada was unexpected and concerning. Waiting on results from a dairy worker from Nevada to see the virus' genetic makeup. Another round in the chamber for a pandemic.

I just feel heartened that we all came together so well (while staying apart) during the last pandemic and that no significant chunk of the population went off the deep end. So the next one should be a cake walk.

Honestly, a deadly disease with a 100% effective vaccine is probably exactly what the world needs right now.

I hope the symptoms are brutal too, and these home remedies and horse medicines don't do ####, to really help drive home the value and effectiveness of vaccines to the anti-medicine "bio weapon" troglodytes.

We thought that about the last Pandemic but they're still here and louder than ever.

Like...Vaccines? Of all the crap that might kill you...you have a higher chance of dying from a McDonald's cheeseburger than a vaccine. Just take it.

"Needles are scary tho!!"

Its nothing. Seriously. I swear to whatever deity people want, the vaccine needle is NOTHING compared to a papercut. In 10 minutes you'll forget it ever even happened. Big whoop.

I read a book about this kind of; the antagonist in the story was set to unleash a virus that would sterilize people to depopulate the world. To avoid the end of mankind he made the sterilization ineffective against people who got the flu vaccine. Obviously more to it than that but I thought it was a pretty clever way for selective sterilization.

The dumbest people will go down for sure. Unfortunately, their "leaders" all actually get vaccinated and just lie about it to rile up the unwashed masses.
