The latest virus scare attempt is falling flat on most of America, and it should.
It was only on December 18th that California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency over the Bird Flu.

Lock them up
And who here is surprised?????
” Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency over the Bird Flu. “
This is the pussy boy the Dems want to run for president next time
I’d love to see JD Vance run against pansy-boy Newsom in 2028. Vance would destroy him.
“... and digital ID.”
Which will be made illegal to use in elections in heavily blue states like califonia
Well we still need to mask up and lock down. Its for the children.

there are still some small business that survived the c19 scamdemic to be forced into bankruptcy gavs on the job.
VERY.
VERY suspect “articles” from X and other places being posted here more and more like they are reputable sites.
Dangerous.
Not very life threatening.
We can’t buy into media hype and hyperventilating about this as another pandemic on par with the Black Death.
So are you going to wait for this to be reported in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The LA times. Independent journalism sites such as the California Globe are the true source for news that big government censors. Check the Reedley Chinese biolab story

I’ll take this journalism over no journalism
No. I simply expect attribution to be included when someone makes the kind of very serious accusation as the ‘astute reader’ did.
I come here for facts and truly thoughtful opinion - not sensational propaganda.
(And it’s preposterous that we should have to choose between yellow journalism and no journalism.)
If this article is really about a CDC study, then why is there no link to the original NEJM article allowing people to read it for themselves instead of linking to some conspiracy theorist's creative interpretation of it?
And of course, no such conspiracizing would be complete without the obligatory "It was created in a lab!" ridiculousness. First of all, influenzas are the most mutable family of viruses known. They are constantly changing, such that viruses that were circulating a few years ago have completely disappeared and new viruses routinely begin circulating. This has been going on since before recorded history; why do people so eagerly lap up these stories that humans can suddenly create or engineer viruses to become human pathogens? Second, laboratory research of viruses is crucial in our fight against infectious disease. Would we rather have our current arsenal of antivirals, physical measures, and vaccine technologies to control virus outbreaks, or would we rather revert to the days before modern medicine, when people knew nothing about infectious agents and had no idea what was going on or how to control it even when millions of people were dying? The fact that we keep studying pathogens is NOT a smoking gun that we are somehow making more pathogens.
This particular clade of H5N1 has not caused many human illnesses, and most of them did not require hospitalization. It is not transmissible between humans. Gee, if there were a goal of creating another pandemic virus that would maybe even surpass the death toll of Covid, then those responsible for supposedly creating such a virus failed miserably, didn't they?
VP-Elect Vance seems to have dematerialized since early December. Any vacation would be well earned, after such a bruising campaign.
I doubt that Vance is doing much ‘vacationing’. I think he and Trump are very busy.
Well, I’m not a bird, so…
For those interested in the NEJM article its here.
