CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People

The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

What’s going on here is that they’re not allowed to publish data about actual issues under the Trump/Musk coup rules, because that might benefit regular folks instead of billionaires.

    I don’t think you understand the situation. The cats can spread the disease to humans. My dog found a birds wing from somewhere and brought it into the house. That was 3 weeks ago, so I assume we’re good. But the point is that pets bring this disease closer to humans, making it more likely to go H2H as it progresses. Having more cats interacting with birds makes the spread more likely, not less.

        There are currently no vaccines for avian influenza. Your cat in the box may have to wait for science to catch up

          Also, the US government will do everything it can to obstruct research into vaccines or the distribution of vaccines, and they will oppose all other health measures to combat this disease too. I hope sane governments elswehere are on this.
