Out today in @foreignpolicy.com: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans.

If H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.🧵👇

C’est intéressant à lire l’article de @nicholasderosa.bsky.social pour bien comprendre le contexte POLITIQUE de ce rapport. On doit en apprendre que la gestion de la prochaine pandémie devra être clinique, scientifique et NON PARTISANE! Allez lire «L’ébola, les bombes et les migrants» de Joanne Liu!
Un peu de contexte pour mieux comprendre ce fameux rapport du Congrès:

• Les membres démocrates de la sous-commission rejettent certaines de ses conclusions.

• Le rapport n'apporte aucune nouvelle preuve pour la thèse de la fuite de labo

• Le rapport indique que le vaccin est sûr et efficace

Le rapport n’apporte pas de nouvelles preuves que le SRAS-CoV-2 aurait été créé en laboratoire.

Vous avez peut-être vu une chronique éclatante la semaine dernière qui disait qu'un comité bipartisan aux États-Unis avait mis au grand jour des "révélations" sur la Covid-19.

Il faut mettre certaines choses en contexte, toutefois.

Question for all of the Trump voters, did you vote for this? Are you beginning yet to realize that you have voted against your own self interest?

Thinking about those parents whose kid almost died of tetanus, and after receiving nearly a million dollars in care which included the tetanus vaccine, they declined to give him a preventative tetanus vaccine (or any other ones) post treatment. Kid was on a ventilator for 44 days
Unvaccinated boy nearly died from tetanus. The cost of his care was almost $1 million.
6-year-old was infected in 2017 while playing on the family's farm, the first case of tetanus in Oregon in 30 years, according to a CDC report.
