RFK RAT FUCKING kook

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19)‬ ‪@covid19disease.bsky.social‬

·

2h

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

20. Mayo Clinic - very hard for people to catch bird flu
Sat Apr 19, 2025, 12:22 PM
Apr 2025

People most often catch a bird flu virus from close, long-term contact with live, domesticated poultry typically on farms or in backyard coops. People also may catch bird flu through contact with wild birds or another type of animal. Bird flu rarely has spread from person to person.

They abdicated their advise and consent duties, a fundamental check and balance on the President's power, and simply rubber-stamped all these dangerous, anti-qualified nominees. Trump wouldn't be able to ride roughshod over the constitution and ignore the rule of law had Senate Republicans done their jobs.

Very little human to human transmission
- you basically need to be around sick birds/animals

Who is at risk?

Right now, the risk to humans from the current outbreak of H5N1 is still very low. Since 2024, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported the number of infections in human cases of HPAI in the United States, and there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission.

Our reality and statistics are based on a science based world.
Where research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment are the norm.

We don't have any of that now.

We do not know how new pandemics will start and progress.
And even if we could determine this, Trump will not do anything anyway.

Putin was a big backer and source of funds for the American NRA.
Putin loves all the guns in the US, all the mass shootings.
Knowing Putin, he loves American kids getting shot up.
Just like he loves killing Ukraine children.

Don't do anything to help people. Just sweep everything under the rug until it becomes a disaster. Sounds like typical DJT M.O. Looks like Junior fits right in with the rest of that sorry lot.

God help us all because this administration sure won't. We are on our own.
