... fuck me dead it's infecting mammals now
and the current administration has shuttered the CDC and the NIH, and has withdrawn us from the WHO.
- It's been in cows since last March. That's why all the ruckus about "muh rights to drink raw milk!" They were told not to (by the libs) because of bird flu, so... here we are.

  Can we start telling them that they can't shot themselves in the fucking face? Will that work?
  
  wow if we could just 'liberal-jacket' an array of wildly self-destructive behaviors maybe we can leverage the trash into taking itself to the curb
- withdrawn us from the WHO.
  This is happening specifically in US because of its intensive dairy/poultry practices. It is a CDC matter. There happens to exist a chicken vaccine, but "concerns over exports of broiler chickens complying with foreign rules" stops its use. No idea if it makes the chickens unsafe to eat or if it's just never been tested.
- it has been for awhile. cats have been dying from it too
