in March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A. Experts have now confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza transmission from a mammal (dairy cow) to a human.

    The group in question will treat this vaccine like that vaccine, if that wasn’t clear.

    It’s not a matter of when, it’s a matter of what. Antivax don’t give a damn.

      And that’s fine. What we need to do is not collectively be pushovers and call them out on their bullshit this time around. While not universal, many of us averted our eyes and ignored their behavior and I honestly feel it’s costing us.

      Though hopefully there is no “this time”.
