2) here is another way to visualize the measles epidemic. Another annoying thing is that although 95% not double vaccinated, 5% of the previous 113 cases were vaccinated— which means that there is waning immunity or vaccine breakthrough with sufficiently big outbreak possible.
Oh this seems totally fine. 
2) "From 2003 to 25 March 2024, a total of 888 worldwide human cases of influenza A(H5N1), 463 deaths (52% CFR), reported to WHO from 23 countries. Almost all cases of human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) linked to close contact with infected live or dead birds, or contaminated environments."
2) Moreover, many of the nationwide cases had come from Florida— “Measles cases that turned up in at least three states this year were linked to visits to Florida, federal and state investigators concluded”. FL also doesn’t count non-residents as cases.🤦🏻♂️
2) Outbreak of avian flu in cats, and subsequent cat deaths has been common—another outbreak in Poland killed 25 cats 🐈⬛ in June 2023, reported by the WHO. 
2) In case anyone wants to double check the math… here is the full SOURCE CODE for the above analysis using CDC data. There’s a lot of COVID denialism out there trying to deny the data. But it’s public data and publicly available code. Screw the troll haters.
2) Also, keep in mind that avian flu can directly infect human eyes to cause conjunctivitis even without any further mutations in the virus beyond birds.
2) Contrast that above study with this USDA statement that “pasteurization would kill the virus” — but without any caveats or proven evidence. 
2) Another risk to dairy farmers is that using high pressure sprayers can aerosolize the avian flu virus in the milk (on the floor) and make the virus in the milk airborne. And dairy workers usually don’t wear masks or googles. 
2) The dairy cow epidemic of avian flu is spreading nationwide. This is actually rather sudden considering it is newly emerged and spreading rapidly.
2) Also buried in the CDC report is a worrisome line that—“It is important to note that this substitution (mutation) has not been seen in available PB2 genes from viruses circulating in wild birds and poultry or in the recently described cattle viruses detected in Texas, 📌suggesting the mutation may have been acquired in the patient”. ➡️Thus, this was a novel mutation in which the avian flu virus has **newly adapted inside the host of the Texas man**. 😳
2) I recommend you disconnect as many access points to your phone as possible from TikTok, if you must use it. Trust me on this. I use a ton of social media (I run other large social pages besides Twitter)—but TikTok I don’t touch beyond the most basic limits. 
2) WTF — “It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.” ➡️ people don’t suddenly commit suicide in a parking lot while at a hotel to testify against @Boeing for days and days.
2) The reason I’m able to know about CDC internal discussions and thinking is that I had advanced notice and had insider insights into rationale & knowledge of the data analyses they ran. It’s sooooo bullshit…. Here is my longer thread 🧵 explaining the JUNK IN ==> JUNK OUT. 🗑️
2) what the CDC is doing is relaxing the guidelines of isolation to effectively ‘you can go out and have fun as long as you’re improving since yesterday’. Yes it’s ridiculous. Others have written on it. And it is totally public health abdication. newrepublic.com/article/179304…
