Damn—a flock of about 240,000 chickens owned by Tyson Foods in Kentucky tested positive for a “highly lethal” form of H5N1 bird flu. All birds will be culled. An outbreak of the same strain in 2015 led to 50 million 🐓 and 🦃 deaths. reuters.com/business/healt…
2) Infections in the chickens being raised for meat triggered more restrictions on U.S. exports, with China blocking poultry products from Kentucky. Last week, buyers like China and Korea limited poultry purchases from Indiana due to an outbreak at a commercial turkey farm there.
3) The disease is hitting the market as poultry supplies are down due to strong demand and labor shortages at meat plants during to the COVID-19 pandemic. Government data showed U.S. frozen chicken supplies were down 14% from a year ago; turkey inventories were down 23%.
4) Meanwhile another bird flu strain H5N6 has now mutated to be more infectious in humans, scientists reported recently in Oct 2021. reuters.com/business/envir…

MY GOD—Danish 🇩🇰 political leaders have completely lost their frigging minds releasing all #COVID19 mitigations — these are exponentially ⬆️ surging DEATHS not cases!!! This is what happens when a country’s leaders gaslights its own citizens. #CovidIsNotOver
2) there is complete “endemic delusion” going on right now in 🇩🇰 and many other countries. I’m not the only one that think Danish leaders are being completely irresponsible. Say what you will about ICU, but the hospitalizations and deaths don’t lie.
3) Finland 🇫🇮 mortality is surging too. But finish govt reports deaths by occurrence date—The "new" Deaths (red) data are mostly 1-4 weeks old on the reporting date. The final number of cases each day will not be known for weeks. Don’t be misled. Watch👇
FACT CHECK—“Americans are tired of mask mandates in schools? 📊 57% of parents of school age kids support mask requirements in schools. (@CBSNews / @YouGov poll).
Don’t let Fox News or even other MSM pundits gaslight you. #CovidIsNotOver
📍WISHFUL THINKING KILLS—It’s not fearmongering—“Wishful thinking on #COVID remains as dangerous as ever” best reflects how I feel. ➡️“Once people feel like they’re safe enough, the safety of others doesn’t really matter that much.” Thx @gregggonsalves 🙏 thenation.com/article/societ…
2) HELL YES— “Pundits urging us to treat Covid “like the flu” or pushing “the urgency of normal” are just variations of the siren song of surrender to needless death and preventable disease.” Well said @gregggonsalves
3) “Except the pandemic is not over by a long shot. We’ve been seeing 1,000 deaths a day in the United States for months now; over the past few weeks, as Omicron deaths catch up to the vast number of infections diagnosed weeks earlier, we’ve had far more than that.”
🌡MERCURY (not)-RISING—the EPA thankfully will resume enforcement limits on power plant emissions of horrendously poisonous mercury & other pollutants. ➡️This reinstates EPA environmental protections decimated under Trump WH & his pro-pollution EPA agenda. apnews.com/article/busine…
2) The EPA action restores a 2012 rule imposed under President Obama that was credited with curbing mercury’s devastating neurological damage to children and prevented thousands of premature deaths while reducing the risk of heart attacks and cancer, plus other health benefits.
3) “Sound science makes it clear that we need to limit mercury and toxins in the air to protect children and vulnerable communities from dangerous pollution,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan @EPAMichaelRegan said in a statement.
👇Maybe if you weren’t so obsessed about credentialism & didn’t get so naively misled by your holy “infection control specialists” who convinced your gullible ear it’s “not an airborne virus”—➡️MAYBE THOUSANDS / MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE WOULD BE EFFING ALIVE!! #COVIDisAirborne
P.s. I actually have a formal *Epidemiology* doctorate. I also happen to have another Nutrition one as well. You can mislead others that I’m just “nutritional epi” person all you want. My primary Epi program didn’t even concentrate in Nutrition. My degree does not your approval.
3) NOTE— you started credential trolling me yesterday—not me. Before tonight, I have never once attacked you or ever called you out in over 2 years. I had bitten my tongue and I even followed your other writings.
Show some humbleness about your obsession with credentialism.
2) Folks— there is a literal AVALANCHE of COVID data emerging daily. Most doctors scientists don’t see all the data out there—how can they without a whole team of information distillers and global network of sources? For example—this 👇 came out late after 🇿🇦 wave already passed.
