Trump’s going to order that they stop culling chicken farms due to H5N1 infections, call the disease a mild cold like he did with covid-19 and claim it’s not that big of a deal. Nearly instantly, of course, a bird flu pandemic breaks out as the virus mutates to infect humans, but the CDC and NIH will be stopped from making any statements about the disease.
I really hope it doesn’t, but it’s just the kind of insanity that he’d pull to try and make good on his promise if his loyalists start actually complaining about it.

I hate how plausible this sounds.
