'Airborne' is not a term you want to see with birdflu research.
Thankfully there are mRNA vaccines when the shit hits the fan. Oh, wait ...

Djeezus Kraist. The antivax strikes again, axing funding for the development of mRNA vaccins, including the ones for birdflu.
Stupid is as stupid does.

Infectious #H5N1 was found in milk, on equipment, within wastewater & aerosolized in the air on California dairy farms ~

Avian influenza is causing global disruption—including major losses in poultry, escalating risks to food security, agricultural trade, biodiversity, and increased transmission to mammals including cattle and humans
#USDA reports another #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herd in California, the 771st such detection in the state.
The cumulative national total of detected/confirmed herds is 1,078 in 17 states. The true number of infected herds? Who knows?

Make sure to get your flu vaccine this fall. In addition to protecting you from severe illness & death, like the Covid vax, preliminary data suggests it may also protect against severe symptoms from H5N1.

I'm reporting on #H5N1 #BirdFlu (#AvianInfluenza #HPAI) for
@thesicktimes , & want to talk to farmworkers or people who work with them re impacts of H5N1 on farmworkers. I'm especially interested in hearing re human cases since Feb 2025. Sources can be anonymous! (1/4)
Previous exposure to influenza A viruses through infection or vaccination may be part of the reason why bird flu (H5N1) hasn't reached pandemic status.
