    wouldn’t doubt if this is musk and thiel, sowing chaos.

    also wouldn’t doubt if covid was them too.

    just like how thiel dry runned a bank collapse with silcon valley bank. or musk dry runned doge with Twitter.

    they dry runned h5n1 with cov19.

      Between this and Gaza (and everything else), I really honestly don’t think we have seen a person in all of human history who checks more boxes of being the antichrist.

      Like fuck, he literally brings pestilence and disease with him.

    If we could get enough people to stop eating animal products at the same time, it would simultaneously lower their personal risks of infection, the risks of another pandemic, and it could hit the animal ag industries hard - who are some of the largest funders of the gop.

      I love the enthusiasm but the movement would immediately be labelled as woke and a lot of people would start eating more animals just to “own the libs”

        Nah, we just need to lean into their toxic male fragility. Remind them it’s super gay to have some animal’s meat in their mouth. So juicy it slides right down your throat. Yeah, you enjoy that beef on your tongue, you slut?

        The people who would do that would be putting themselves at greater risk when the next pandemic does break out. That’s their problem - especially if they’ve been informed on everything they can do to help and protect themselves.

            It already is, and they’re already speedrunning us into the next one. All the more reason to focus on protecting who we can, and who is willing to not be an active harm.

      This is it popping off. We’ve already lost a huge portion of chickens in the US. We’re seeing dozens of cases in humans. And it’s in cows too. The only reason it doesn’t feel like a big deal is because we as a nation aren’t doing anything about it yet, only individual farms are. Same way COVID went from “is this a big deal?” to “oh fuck shut everything down”.

        The big event will be someone with regular human flu getting bird flu, giving the virus opportunities to swap DNA segments. If it gets the transmissibility of our standard influenza and the lethality of bird flu, it’ll be a rough six months to a year before we have vaccines for it as it rips through our population.

        Especially considering flu vaccines are made with eggs, and this disease is currently thoroughly decimating our egg producing livestock.

      The problem is that the CDC isn’t getting to say anything right now, so we can assume that the moment they get to talk about it, the stupidest people you know are going to go “woah this was really sudden! They clearly made it in a lab!”

      The little boy who called bird flu, but I think the call here is that it is difficult to feel safe behind the idea that it does not cross the species barrier when you have bird flu in cows.

        Unfortunately people will just think “Hey I’ve seen this bird flu in the news and it didn’t seem bad.” Then they ignore all virologist recommendations and we have a second pandemic.

          Too little information is as bad as too much, it is a difficult balance. The problem with information dissemination last time was not oversaturation but that people latched onto ridiculous conspiracy narratives and that derives from lack of basic education not too much news.

        in the beginning yes, but as the virus mutates, the variant that spreads quicker will also be less deadly. like with covid too. not that it isn’t dangerous now, but it was far deadlier in the early stages.
