Great article. Chilling paragraph regarding JFKj's approach to the bird flu outbreaks in poultry in there. (spoiler - eugenics.) Do we really think he'd have a different approach in mind if it jumped to humans?
quote, regarding JFKj's approach to bird flu: "Adding to the headwinds is U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has said the virus should be allowed to burn through flocks so that farmers can identify birds with natural immunity, an approach public health experts have called “dangerous and unethical.”

So my idiot neighbors had a GSD that has murdered 30+ of my poultry, attacked my partner, my Chihuahua and me. I still made sure he went to a no kill facility to have a chance at a better life. Noem deserves (redacted).

New CIDRAP update: H5N1 keeps popping up in US poultry—turkey farms in the Dakotas + a 231k-bird egg facility in CA, plus cases in MI/IN. Human risk still low, but big hits to farms and a reminder this virus isn’t going away. #H5N1 🐔 scientificinquirer.com/2025/11/07/d...
Black-and-white cartoon of a poultry barn turned airport-style security line. Several anxious-looking chickens shuffle toward a walk-through scanner, while more birds crowd in cages along the wall. A person in a full hazmat suit and respirator stands beside the scanner, supervising. On a conveyor belt in front, a tray holds several spiky virus-shaped blobs as if they’ve been removed like pocket items at a checkpoint.

I’d need that free turkey to see SEVEN BRIDES. It’s always made me feel icky, even as a kid.

That said, where do you put the turkey? Do you get it after? Does the theater smell like poultry? So many questions. Wondering if this promo went all sorts of WKRP wrong. 😂

Four people were injured in the drone attack on Pavlohrad (pics⬇️) I reported on earlier. Infrastructure and a local business were hit.

In addition, three other Dnipropetrovsk civilians were also injured during the day. Those came in Nikopol, where a school, gas station + poultry farm were damaged.

My people make fish and chips and put it on a heap of dressing ( poultry stuffing that's never been inside a bird ) and gravy.

It's heaven.

Three years into a brutal wave of the virus, industry leaders raised evidence that bird flu was entering barns differently and evading even the strictest protocols. They suspected it could be airborne and begged officials to deploy a proven weapon against the disease: a vaccine for poultry.

This is an outstanding piece of reporting on the complex barriers that currently stand between US poultry farmers and access to the safe effective bird flu vaccine used elsewhere. Well worth a read

This is an amazing report from ProPublica ... bird flu likely to have spread via the air.

Can't get much scarier than this. Various estimates of the mortality rate in humans (25% to 50%), but wiki points out that "a lethal avian strain would surely lose genes contributing to its lethality in humans
The USDA insisted that this particular outbreak was “unique” and “not representative” of the entire wave of bird flu that started in 2022, and that the “overwhelming majority” of infections stem from wild birds. The agency said its biosecurity strategy “remains rooted in real-time data, internationally recognized best practices and a commitment to transparency and continuous improvement,” and that it is “proactively assessing” the possibility of vaccinating poultry for bird flu. Experts told me that understanding what drove this massive outbreak was important, and it didn’t seem like USDA was doing that work. The agency did not evaluate airborne transmission in this outbreak. It also doesn’t make it easy for others to do so, withholding key information that would allow journalists and researchers to evaluate the spread of the virus. As infections surge again this fall, the USDA continues to urge farmers to improve biosecurity while it dismisses a significant way the virus could be spreading. Experts were pretty aligned in saying none of what I had found definitively proves that the wind caused the virus to spread; there’s a difference between correlation and causation, and the virus never follows just one mode of transmission. “It’s hard, it’s really hard — having spent my career studying viruses that spread through the air — to prove that the virus is in the air,” said Seema Lakdawala, who studies the epidemiology of influenza viruses at Emory University. “Yes, the wind might be important, but it may be other things that are moving in the wind, maybe the bugs, some other sort of vector moving along the wind that we have not accounted for.” Nevertheless, other experts I discussed our analysis with — eight in total — agreed that this data presented a plausible case for the wind playing a role in this outbreak. “It just seems so likely to me that this was an airborne thing,” said Brian McCluskey, former chief epidemiologist with USDA’s agency that oversees the response to bird flu. “I mean, how else would it have moved around so quickly?”

Avian Influenza Detected in Border Area of Germany
In North Rhine-Westphalia, just across the border in Germany, avian influenza has been detected on three poultry farms. Germany has established three restriction zones that partly extend into the Netherlands. Therefore, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LVVN) has established three restriction zones in the municipalities of Bergen and Venlo, Limburg.
