    Anti-science has gained too much traction in recent years, I doubt USA will survive if H5N1 starts spreading from human to human.

      Covid has a mortality rate of about 3% while H5N1 has a mortality rate of about 56%.
      If it starts spreading from person to person and it has an r value similar to Covid, we’re fucked.

        hah great, makes the 1 in 50k risk of a certain vaccine’s side effects even more ridiculous to think about

      At this point, if they’re asking for the scientifically specified strain of virus to be served to them, I’m not sure it sounds like “anti science” , more like “braggadocious risk taking”
