US Cancels more than $700 million in funding for Moderna Bird Flu vaccine.

Anti-vaxxer, RFK, doing his thang.

Forget that these were Congressional-appropriated funds and should be unconstitutional to cancel by the EB, oh but I digress.

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

I can't say I disagree, but if the bird flu were to become transmissible from human to human, it could wipe out a billion people in a matter fo months. This would mean that if you did survive, the rest of your life would suck giant balls as organised human civilization would undoubtedly take a giant step backwords. You appear incredibly ignorant when you make comments like this, not that many of us are shocked.

Just know the mortality rate of the bird flu is about 50%, meaning half the people who get it will die, and not in a fun way. COVID was slightly less than 1% and the impact on the global economy, our soverign debt, as well as our collective mental health, has not been the same since. Multiply that by 50.

The mortality of the bird flu in humans is quite low.

There have been 67 cases of H5N1 in USA. 1 fatality. Not quite 50 percent.

The 50 percent death rate is in undeveloped nations with extremely poor medical care.

they would have no incentive to do so. You think that I believe for 1 second that drug manufacturers are altruistic shepherds of disease prevention? None the less, quoting Rumsfeld, you know, the great known unknown, in that even if there was 1 % chance of this, 700 million is a drop in the bucket.

will make $billions. That isn't incentive enough? You have to take from people living paycheck to paycheck to make sure they don't spend any profits?

Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of entities are getting a "drop in the bucket".

the incentive is to sell boner pills and hair loss treatments, or anything else that gets a 5-10 year ROI. And it was private-public partnerships that landed us on the moon, an endeavor that ultimately led to the advanced microprocessor. No way would it be possible for you to jerk off to twinks on your shiddy Samsung note 6 if Kennedy had not uttered the words, "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"

Why are we up in arms about a virus that has killed 1 in 67 confirmed cases in USA? I work in the poultry industry and I am not worried about it.
