"It’s all going to the library."

No, it's not. The millions are going to a private foundation that can do whatever it wants. The foundation could build a library — but it doesn't have to.

Presidential libraries shouldn't be fronts for bribes.

@kkjetelina.bsky.social is always great, but this figure on the increasing probability of risk of an H5N1 bird flu pandemic is particularly helpful. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/h5n1-updat...
This is a vertically-stacked image showing increasing probability of a public health impact from bird flu. It moves from the bottom to top starting with: baseline risk of a pandemic (2%), to mass infections in wild birds; mass infections in poultry; spillover to mammals; sustained transmission in mammals; sporadic human cases; lots of sporadic human cases; sustained transmission in pigs; human-to-human spread in cluster; multiple clusters of human-to-human spread; human-to-human spread across countries. We are at the "Lots of sporadic human cases" step.
