If we all die from the bird flu can we die after collectively doing the chicken dance?
There isn't going to be another pandemic this soon after COVID. Pandemics happen about every 100 years. Pretty much everything happens in cycles and is predictable based on historical patterns. There isn't going to be another pandemic this soon after COVID.
We've had once in a century economic problems thrice in less than 30 years, STFU
This is not how probability works.
Ugh, do we really need Trump + Pandemic again?
It's entirely avoidable, if only Trump would have actually learned something from his first term and actually funded research and prevention teams. Sadly, he only has the foresight to see how cutting those programs saves the US Govt. a penny now, and not the wisdom to see how that panny would have been money well spent if it prevented us from having to spend thousands on recovery efforts.
Torture and murder of non-human animals <---> Torture and murder of human animals.
But I guess the carnists gotta have their sandwiches. \s
Y'all can look around and see how little human life is valued. It's not about humans, it's about them and only them.
Yup. People don't care about the kids mining their cobalt. To care about the animals they eat would be a long process.
I just hope it kills a lot more Nazi antivax idiots this time
Unfortunately, it's the rich that are feeding them the garbage that's infested their minds. I don't think there's any saving the masses from the delusion they're slobbering up, but as long as the buffet keeps getting restocked, the pigs will keep fattening up for the slaughter.
Hopefully it kills the uber-privileged carnists responsible for all of this death and disease.
being able to be vegan/vegetarian is a privilege. it's expensive as hell for starters. you can eat meat and still want change in the meat industry.
Not to mention there are people who physically have to eat meat. I have anemia due to stage 4 endometriosis. I can't take iron supplements so have to eat meat or I get very sick.
Carnist? This is why we lose.
I doubt it will they all have doomsday bunkers. I do hope that they are forced to cower in them for the rest of their days though…..because guillotine
There will probably be some slant in that direction, but there'll be a much bigger slant towards killing the elderly, the immunocompromised, those who can't afford medical care and time off, etc. As usual.
The fucknut RFK will tell the AmeriKans to drink fish tank cleaner or bleach and shove a UV light down their throats. When this things slams into the USA, Krasnov will continue to fail.
Do you think libs are going to tell people to stop eating meat because it's destroying the planet, breeding diseases, and of course least importantly (\s) torturing/murdering animals?
Never have. Never will. I'm sure chuck and nancy probably have stock in this shit.
Do you want people to eat less meat, or do you want to feel superior to people because you eat less meat? Because it feels like the latter from all your comments here.
Humans have been eating meat since the dawn of mankind. Get over it.
I'm ok with this.
We've known about vaccines, germ theory, and virus for quite some time now. If they want to kill themselves because they choose to not follow the science, so be it. I'm tired of having this conversation with the wilfully and proudly ignorant tomato soup brained infants.
RFK jr. Isn't just anti-germ theory. He doesn't even follow miasma theory... he follows something even older and more stupid: terrain theory. The idea that you get sick BECAUSE you were unhealthy and not the other way around. That diseases are opportunists looking for malnourished or lazy or weak individuals (weak by their own choices) than just something that can happen to anyone.
You know those girls who died of measles? He insisted it happened because they were malnourished. No amount of evidence presented by doctors could convince him otherwise.
Basically we have an absolutely insane conspiracy theorist who has the medical beliefs of a medieval quack in charge of US health.
If they want to kill themselves because they choose to not follow the science,
Are you following the science by no longer supporting carnism?
Get down off your high horse. There are people who physically have to eat meat. Btw if you have to take supplements because your diet doesn't contain enough nutrients, your diet is bad.
- the case mortality rate is, by far, one of the worst we've ever seen for an influenza. https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/wpro---documents/emergency/surveillance/avian-influenza/ai_20250131.pdf
- we already have a vaccine for it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H5N1_vaccine
- don't panic but be educated https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5CyVi4UzKxE
Is there is a functional vaccine for it then I want it ASAP.
Having a vaccine, and getting it sufficiently wide deployed under a known antivaxxer "health" minister are two different kinds of shoes.
And: The virus is currently trying to overcome species barriers, which might reduce an existing vaccine less useful. AFAIK you need a different vaccine for poultry than for cows, and some infections have made it across to humans, also AFAIK, from cows.
getting it sufficiently wide deployed under a known antivaxxer “health” minister
Not to mention that the asshole in the WH would absolutely weaponize this against blue states and would try to enrich HIMSELF in the process. We know, because that's what he did during Covid. That's just how fucking depraved he is.
They initially thought that Covid was killing more of the Blahs...and they of course loved that idea.
