I've been working on something similar.

In just a few years, I expect my blood will be the cure to high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, coronaviruses, bird flu, pig flu, cat flu, sloth flu, obesity, the common cold, bad credit, tone-deafness and hair loss.

Scientists have created a broadly effective antivenom using the blood of a Wisconsin man who has spent years exposing himself to deadly snakebites from black mambas, taipans, cobras and many others.
He let snakes bite him some 200 times to create a better snakebite antivenom

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life

Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

#USDA didn't report any new #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herds today. They only reported 4 new herds last week, in CA (2), MI (1) & NV (1).
Given what's happening in the US government right now, it's not clear if there are no new herds to report or a testing backlog.
