2 cats in L.A. have died after being fed #H5N1 contaminated recalled raw milk. Will humans stop drinking raw milk and feeding it to pets and children? Time or a new pandemic will tell I guess.

Excellent thread on the pandemic treaty that may never be. It's extremely telling that after a global pandemic that killed millions, governments cannot agree on equitable distribution of resources and provisions to reduce deaths in future pandemics. Sad but unsurprising. No lessons learned.
