Viral infections don’t just go away.

They hide.

They set you up for future issues like heart disease or autoimmune disorders.

The real damage hits long after you think you’re in the clear.

New H5N1 bird flu study just dropped

It’s brutal.

This is a real-world proof-of-concept for mammalian adaptation.

It shows H5N1 doesn’t need years or massive jumps to evolve.

It can do it in a single host.

That makes spillover-to-sustained-transmission far more plausible than officials have let on.

1/Image
Researchers found 100% lethality and 100% transmission in mice when exposed to an H5N1 strain with the E627K mutation *after just one passage*

2/
Experiment 1 (4 infected mice to 1 uninfected):

100% transmission to the uninfected mouse.

100% of mice died.

The E627K mutation went from 4% to nearly 100% in the lungs and brains within 6 days.

That newly dominant version was then successfully transmitted.

Engineered Doubt 🧵

The goal isn’t to convince you ivermectin works.

The goal is to convince you nothing else does.

That your doctors are corrupt.

Your regulators compromised.

That NIH, CDC, and WHO are part of a global plot.

The drug is a symbol.

The strategy is demoralization.

1/Image
Start with the image.

Search ivermectin on Yandex.

What you get is far from scientific consensus.

You get a front page of praise, miracle cures, and purchasing options.

Russian, English, black-market, gray-market packaged as truth.

It’s deliberate.

It’s not information. It’s bait.

2/
Yandex isn’t a search engine.

It’s an instrument.

A soft weapon of narrative warfare.

It reflects Kremlin-aligned information architecture, pushing anti-Western, anti-scientific sentiment cloaked in populist aesthetics.

What we’re watching across North America is a controlled demolition of public health.

1/
Pay attention.

The edge isn’t coming.

We’re already falling.

2/
Through budget cuts, normalization of failure, and relentless messaging that teaches people to expect less.

No alerts. No urgency. No truth.

A different variant of H5N1 avian influenza has surfaced in Ohio and Indiana.

It has affected 84 farms and resulted in the culling of over 19 million birds in less than three months.

1/
The D1.3 genotype, identified through USDA raw sequence submissions, appears to differ from previously known strains.

2/
A recent analysis by independent experts suggests the virus may have emerged within poultry populations rather than from wild bird spillover.

A significant deviation from typical transmission patterns.

While no official confirmation has been provided, some specialists have pointed to the absence of wild bird sequences in phylogenetic data.

JUST IN: New study finds that serious neurologic complications tied to influenza are more common than previously thought.

Particularly in young children.

1/
Analyzing over 79,000 influenza cases among children, researchers reported an incidence rate of 38 serious neurologic events per 100,000 person-weeks of flu.

2/
Alarmingly, children under 2 years old faced a significantly higher risk, and the study found no difference in complication rates between children who received antiviral treatments and those who did not.

They can hide or tamp down data, but you can still see what’s happening if you know where to look.

People are documenting what public health refuse to acknowledge.

A growing number of people in critical condition with no clear explanation 🧵
