we'e on the verge of a bleed-from-your-ass pandemic like we haven't seen in more than a hundred years because of American farming practices, and all Americans care about is the price of eggs

Why am I going to bleed from my ass?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I think they were referring to the new pandemic part.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Well our health is in the hands of an anti-vaxxer with brain worms who' s floating some pretty fucking stupid ideas. So that makes our populace a lot more vulnerable to disease. So a new pandemic is back on the table.

Yea but bleed from the ass pandemic?

The risk is higher yes, the way you stated that made it seem like there was something beginning to spread or that was very imminent... Like if the most recent bird flu had jumped to humans. That's why I was asking. Definitely agree there is more risk, but I wasn't sure if there was something going on we weren't aware of.

The recent bird flu has jumped to humans. Last I read, a few people have died from it.

The big news would be the first case of human to human spread, which has not occurred yet to our knowledge.

I'm seeing a lot of "could" and "might" and hearsay, but ya, unless it goes from human to human I am not that concerned... Just because there are so many other things more pressing to be concerned about, not that it's something that should be ignored or anything.

Can you show your work?

But let's not move the goalposts. I'm not saying there is nothing more pressing; I am saying that this is more pressing than the price of eggs. In fact, this is more important than having a domestic egg industry at all.

I just googled "bird flu transfer to humans"

Well I'll be buying the black market vaccines from international smugglers. The cons are on their own.

Between the "SAVE Act" which threatens to disenfranchise married women and the possibility that there won't be a flu vaccine in the US next year, I just told my mom to get herself a passport. My wife (and me and the kids) will be getting ours for those reasons plus just flat-out wanting to leave.

All the smart people say vaccines are good.

I'm going to listen to the smart people.
