Starting to get scared ngl

I dread the day human to human infection is attained by it. Especially looking at it's mortality rate. Scary.

So like... Why can't we just start vaccinating now?
Those fuckers talking about how "traumatic" covid lockdowns were seem to be in for a real nasty surprise.
Trump has Nurgle's favor i think.

also i think Kennedy is some kind of Plaguebearer
- I can't wait for the SECOND Trump pandemic.
  
  Mandate of Heaven? Lost.
Scary? There's a cheeto in the white house again, now that's scary

Don't worry, when RFK Jr takes over as head of the FDA he's gonna fix everything!
I'm sure H5N1 has had a couple of instances of human to human transmission before (that didn't go anywhere)
It's happening
Does flu vaccine do anything against this?
- there are different vaccines for H5N1 that already exist, they just have to ramp up production if it starts spreading. too bad like 20-30% of the US will refuse it lol
  
  thats if the FDA will still allow vaccinations
- Probably some minor cross protection but you wouldn't expect much or want to rely on it, and you can't predict how fast the virus will mutate and adapt either
  
  You can always buy some tamiflu from India for $50-100 for peace of mind, at least before antiviral drug resistance develops
  
  how long can it be stored?
Is there any record of human to human Transmission? I’ll start worrying if that happens tbh
- Only a couple of possible cases years ago, seemingly not easily spread
  
  If it's like COVID and only kills 10-20 percent of older people and a couple percent of adults it could be circulating for a while before detection
I guess I gotta stock up on non perishable groceries, just in case.
