So...H5N1 (Bird Flu) is here

And all signs are pointing to a global pandemic more fatal than the one prior. The initial stages of this are a rinse and repeat of Covid-19's arrival, which saw a lot of state repression of information on the severity of infection rates and delayed enforcement of safety protocols.

Earlier this year, the U.S. saw its first death of an animal-to-human transmission of H5N1 in Louisiana; however with the rollback of safety and health federal regulations in the wake of the returning Trump administration, compounded by an executive-mandated communications blackout of the FDA, CDC and withdrawal from the WHO, conditions are ideal for a nightmarish outbreak scenario should transmissions evolve to human-to-human.

The following are reports coming from the U.K., U.S., and China in the last couple of days:

This is a CDC report from 2 weeks ago:

"As of January 6, 2025, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States since 2024 and 67 since 2022. This is the first person in the United States who has died as a result of an H5 infection. Outside the United States, more than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the World Health Organization; about half of those have resulted in death."

As of right now, I would highly implore everyone to cease the consumption of eggs and poultry products for the time being. There is currently an egg shortage due to "quality standards" in the U.S. and prices have already gone up dramatically. Get involved in community gardens and get in contact with local farmers--see what you can get directly from there! Mask up, update your vaccinations, practice proper hygiene, avoid physical contact with wild animals (birds especially), and stay safe! Look after your neighbors!

UPDATE: Weekend of 1/24 - 1/26/2025

Related: As of 1/26/25

- Kansas, USA is experiencing its highest record cases of tuberculosis in its entire history!

- New case of Polio recorded in Afghanistan

- India saw its first death in 101 confirmed cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (16 people are on ventilators)

A warmer planet is only going to exacerbate the spread of diseases worldwide moving forward. Mask up!

First they have come for immigrants.

Will you speak out?

Then they have come for trans people.

Will you speak out?

They will come for people of colour.

Will you speak out?

They will come for the disabled and the poor and the gays, and those who stand against them.

Will you speak out?

Then they will come for you.

Will there be anyone left to speak out for you?

My dad sent me this. We went to a rally yesterday. Neither of us have done that before because we prefer to help out behind the scenes (petitions, contacting representatives, spreading info) and not be in big crowds.

They don't want us speaking out against genocide. They don't want us speaking out against the rich and powerful. They don't want us speaking out against our bosses. They don't want us trying to end homelessness. They don't want us growing our own food. They don't want us to have healthcare. They don't want us fighting for our own lives and they don't want us to say anything about it.

I've generally been treating this blog as a refuge from...all the things. But since posts about these "protests" have been going around, I wanted to share these words of caution in the interest of helping everyone stay safe. There is definitely work to be done, but we need to be smart about it. No charging into territory blind.

Stay safe. ❤️

This shit costs 200rs... 2.1 $ or something... Why the fuck Americans are okay with this...

Just sharing this here cause this is terrifying bro

I legit thought the whole rest of the world was leaning far apt right and in favour of trump and I almost had NO HOPE. I even told my partner this morning that I was so worried that there would be nobody on the outside who would step up for us. My partner who does research 24/7 didn’t see ANY news about international protests. Everything we learned was that everyone outside of the US was in agreement with this shit man (at least, international governments were in agreement)

If you’re non-american Please give me hope and tell me there are voices outside of the US speaking up for us and fighting where we literally cannot even see or access.

They know what they're doing. The people they're signaling to know what they're doing. Those of us trained in spotting this stuff for our own safety know what they're doing.

It's time that everyone else stops giving them the benefit of the doubt

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."

We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
