I just hope it kills a lot more Nazi antivax idiots this time

There will probably be some slant in that direction, but there'll be a much bigger slant towards killing the elderly, the immunocompromised, those who can't afford medical care and time off, etc. As usual.
As terrible as it feels to say with the way elderly people vote they more often than not fall into the nazi camp. I know my gandad does with fox constantly playing.
The fucknut RFK will tell the AmeriKans to drink fish tank cleaner or bleach and shove a UV light down their throats. When this things slams into the USA, Krasnov will continue to fail.
I'm ok with this.
We've known about vaccines, germ theory, and virus for quite some time now. If they want to kill themselves because they choose to not follow the science, so be it. I'm tired of having this conversation with the wilfully and proudly ignorant tomato soup brained infants.
So, you’re okay with a whole bunch of people who have no problem with vaccines die because they live next to anti-vaxxers?
Wow, so noble. You really are a moral person and not some idiot wanking your anger boner on the internet.
Ideally those who have the vaccine would be protected from the contagion that might come from the anti-vax next door.
I'm very worried for those who are Immunocompromised or those that can not get the vaccine for whatever reason. When the next plague comes, these are the people I will be supporting and trying to help.
I think what you fail to understand is many of us spent unlimited hours trying to explain vaccines, masks, washing hands, social distancing, etc to these people during covid and all it did was get them to double down on their anti-social behaviour. I even had a few spit at me.
So yeah, fuck these asshole cunts. They put all of us in danger.
+1...Indeed!
this whole "valuing specific humans are inherently inferior to others and can't be saved" business reminds me of something...
Misinformation is what you wanna target, not the victims
How long do you personally choose to argue with a flat earther?
The evidence is there. The math isn't that hard and they can do it themselves to prove a round earth. There are a few simple experiments they can do to prove it. They consciously choose to ignore everything and believe something provably incorrect.
If someone is mentally deficient, or had a learning disability, that's one thing. I'm not talking about these people. I'm talking about the flat earther type (or anti-vax, or tribalism MAGA nut) who chooses to go against simple science.
- the case mortality rate is, by far, one of the worst we've ever seen for an influenza. https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/wpro---documents/emergency/surveillance/avian-influenza/ai_20250131.pdf

Having a vaccine, and getting it sufficiently wide deployed under a known antivaxxer "health" minister are two different kinds of shoes.
And: The virus is currently trying to overcome species barriers, which might reduce an existing vaccine less useful. AFAIK you need a different vaccine for poultry than for cows, and some infections have made it across to humans, also AFAIK, from cows.

Not to mention that the asshole in the WH would absolutely weaponize this against blue states and would try to enrich HIMSELF in the process. We know, because that's what he did during Covid. That's just how fucking depraved he is.
They initially thought that Covid was killing more of the Blahs...and they of course loved that idea.
Once it takes hold in swine, it's party time!
If only we had some technology that could replicate the mRna or DNA as things changed to get an updated vaccine out quicker.
Too bad that didn't work out, killed billions of people, and is now being banned for how awful it was.

Gonna be illegal in the USA
Well that drinking raw milk is paying off, congrats. Someone should strap RFK Jr to a chair and make him drink gallons of infected raw milk.
The US will end up with the highest fatality ratio than any other country and Trump will still blame Biden and Hillary's emails
And they mostly won't
Just saying this based off covid which came after sars2 and i remember in each time there were warning signs way WAY before and nobody really bothered.
Sure, covid may have shaken governments a bit and people maybe finally remember, but most will just let it go happen until its right around the door, to only then spring in action when its again too late
Scientists: we have some good news and some bad news on the pandemic front.
Public: Gimme the good news first.
Scientists: We're going to solve the housing crisis really quickly.

Future historians will say that Donald the dumb was a plague spreader.
don't forget RFK Jr who suggested that people drink raw milk amidst an H5 breakout
Infected raw milk.
Pasteurized milk is fine.
yes my bad somehow my hand skipped over the raw part
Future historians? I like your optimism.
2044

FOR GOD EMPEROR TRUMP!
brain in a jar
Im just worried how bad it can get. 90% fatalities to pregnant women, that high. That's not the COVID 1-2%
When you look it up it says the government has a vaccine stockpile but you can’t get it
Meanwhile my country's most powerful public health official: "vaccines are dangerous because they train viruses to be stronger, we should instead simply infect as many birds as possible"
In the U.S., RFK has promised to personally consume every dead bird he finds on the side of the road.
"Top virologists raise alarm" ..... that didn't help last time. People and government won't take notice or want to take action until we see people with blood coming out of their eyes and dying in the streets, and even then, everyone will be more worried about the economy than in the body count.
Time to stop all testing immediately so that there are no cases
I have a buddy who is a virologist. He sends me shit all the time about bird flu. The gain of function tests on it is wild. Also, note that we have seen this shit coming since 2012

That would be bad, as current vaccines against avian flu in humans tent to work on the "H5" part...
