H5N1 avian influenza has killed tens of millions of birds around the world and led to more than 40,000 sea lions and seals being culled - but the CDC has said the risk to humans is low
That’s unfortunately not how it works.
The unvaccinated people become mutation factories and create new variants that we don’t have a vaccine for yet, that’s why you need a booster every year.
I don’t really see the issue with getting a booster every year provided the government doesn’t fuck it up. I am already pretty much having to get a Covid and Flu each year this will just be another.
Something makes me think people would be more willing to take vaccines when facing down a life or death coin flip. At that point their “concerns” over long term effects don’t matter as much.
My understanding is risk is low on this one as we already have a prepared and tested vaccine, and we have a known medicative treatment.
So it’d suck if it spreads but we at least have the tools to fight it on hand.
Unless a large subset or the population would inexplicably refuse to get vaccinated. 🤷
Oh come on, that would never happen!
Vaccines don’t work when 1/2 the population refuses to take it.
They sure put a damper on the spread of COVID, even with a bunch of idiots refusing to take them.
Covid had a ~5% mortality rate at the peak, H5N1 has a mortality rate of ~56%, a damper won’t be enough
So the ignoreant will perish and the rest of us will pick up after them. Kinda sounds like climate change tbh.

They were facing life or death and they chose horse dewormer…
