“I want to emphasize, we are pretty sure that the meat supply is safe. We're doing this just to enhance our scientific knowledge, to make sure that we have additional data points to make that statement.” cbsnews.com/news/ground-be…
CBS: One herd that tested positive in North Carolina remains asymptomatic and is still actively producing milk, a spokesperson for the state's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services told CBS News. It remains unclear how H5N1 has ended up in the milk supply. Don Prater, the FDA's top food safety official, said Wednesday that milk processors "can receive milk from hundreds of different farms, which may cross state lines," complicating efforts to trace back the virus.

My heart breaks for worried cat owners, because most people are COMPLETELY unaware H5N1 has been circulating in US cats for over a full year now. The government could have warned us & began preparing a year ago, but instead we were forced to play Pretend Normal. Let the rage wash over you like waves & demand better. We heard A LOT about bird flu in Polish cats last summer, and all of Europe was urged to keep cats & dogs indoors.

Meanwhile, bird flu was infecting & killing cats & dogs in the US & Canada, but the public never heard about it. There were no warnings. barrons.com/news/eu-urges-…

“This lack of focus on viral persistence would reduce funding for Long Covid to a nominal amount & mistakenly conflate Long Covid with diseases that are not biomedically the same…”

The recent Long Covid Research proposal presented by Senator Sanders’ office for the HELP Committee falls significantly short of addressing the severity of this disease.”

Please read the 🧵 & sign. h/t @JoshuaPribanic actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-b…Action network: All in all, looking at the vast scale of the Long Covid problem, the proposal is inadequate both in funding and concept necessary to tackle the vast scale of financial need for the Long Covid crisis. Long Covid is not a set of symptoms, but rather a multi-systemic disease that damages organs, neurological, gastrointestinal, and vascular systems, and causes AIDS-like immune dysregulation, with NIH research pointing to SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence as the leading cause. The first time I saw the “LongCovid is nothing new” campaign was in November 2023, when Steven Phillips, former Medical Director for Global Projects at Exxon, asserted “LongCovid is a new name for an old condition.”

In January 2023, he wrote a Time article targeting policymakers, healthcare professionals, & employers, arguing we need to quit following the science & “Accept Exposure.” time.com/6335177/long-c…Time: A new theory to explain Long COVID We suggest a unifying hypothesis that explains the striking lack of progress in understanding Long COVID through a traditional biomedical and public health lens. Our recent editorial in STAT posits that Long COVID is a new name for an old syndrome. It is virtually indistinguishable from the condition long known in the medical lexicon as post-infectious syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)—in colloquial terms known simply as “chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Does the public understand we are being expertly divided by Divide and Conquer campaigns, and people keep falling for it? If we are fighting each other, we aren’t coming for the wealthy & the people who are responsible for all of the horror. We tried so hard to warn everyone.

My high schooler is SO exhausted from being sick EVERY MONTH, while the school says “We live in a post Covid society. Covid is not an excuse” (while everyone keeps getting Covid), I often have to fabricate appointments & lie so he can get some rest. What a life. These poor kids. I wish we could just BE REAL, for once. I am so tired of the pretending. I don’t even feel guilty about making up appointments. He is almost 16-years old & he comes crawling into my bedroom CRYING because he is so tired & he feels so bad. We don’t do anything extra or have lives because I’m so ill. There is only school, where he is getting infected & sickened MONTHLY, & none of this is normal. People are absolutely delusional & this is a road to nowhere.

The problem is we are “studying” it while literally everyone is infected and reinfected, and new generations are infected in utero or before they leave the hospital after birth.

When Trump tapped Palantir to build a SARS-CoV-2 “tracking tool,” it was controversial & people were outraged. Biden’s CDC renewed & expanded Palantir’s contract. Now they’re in the AI warfare game while also “planning to decipher the mysteries of LongCovid.” Please explain.

The coming years will bring horrors that defy comprehension, & the wounds will be self-inflicted. Public health was defunded & gutted, & SARS-CoV-2, a novel pathogen that causes accelerated biological aging, multi-organ damage, & immunodeficiency, was downgraded to flu status & used to deregulate industries in order to lovingly maintain these RECORD prices & profits & to transfer power back to employers. The players are all wealthy & well-connected, & convincing the masses to “accept exposure” benefits them all at our expense. 🧵 An American Tale: The CDC awarded Palantir a 5-year $443 million contract for consolidated disease surveillance. They’re also demoing AI to fight in wars, stand accused of human rights violations, & their founders are investing in living forever & aggressively eradicating the unhoused.

Time: The U.S. is now at a major pandemic crossroad. “Follow the science” has been a central policy guidepost in the pandemic. Science and public health knowledge and expertise is the conduit to both sound policy and public education through media channels. New courageous “accept exposure” policies, public education and behavior change strategies are needed to capture the benefits of the new paradigm. This could be a major step in bridging our national COVID divide.

I’m having a really hard time with everyone suddenly caring about bird flu after we ignored it for two years as it quietly crept up the food chain. There was no media coverage when it was killing US dogs and cats & infecting an incarcerated American last year. Why now? It’s like the public isn’t allowed to hear about it until we pass the point of no return. This was 2 years ago.

Governments could have been preparing the public, but maintaining order, those record profits, & pretend normal was prioritized. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/a…
