I posted the following - I dunno when. A couple weeks ago? It was gallows humor post for obvious reasons. In any case - I couldn't get it out of my mind for about four days. Then I forgot about it. I didn't even remember it. I saw it in a Bluesky thread.

I wonder how much more time of gallows humor we have until sheer terror arrives. Months?

I think it's - cough - safe to say we are reaching the c/news + c/doomer singularity where a lot of news is both.

On the bright side, it'll probably take out a lot ghouls as they declare it a hoax... On the not so bright side, many of us might not get the chance to see them choke on their liquefied lungs.

I make a promise to you comrades, so long as I'm still kicking, I'll post crabs for every notable pig that the Birdger flu takes out.

Reminder to mask, both for COVID and for this when it inevitably gets human-human transmission.

Remember during the bird flu outbreaks in China and our media took every opportunity to fear monger with it? Pretty quiet from them for the last, what, at least 8 months this has been progressing.

Just wait till it actually gets going, they'll find some way to connect it to China, like some random Chinese-American guy getting it and the entire US news media will say that it must be a Chinese bioweapon.

The Chinese will be the first to give a shit about it. Sort of like with the spanish flu

Bird Flu: Vaccines May Drive Virus Evolution

They’re already doing it lmao

“…our finding does not establish a causal relationship and further virological work will be needed to test this hypothesis directly,"

China has one of the largest vaccination programs for H5 bird flu, vaccinating billions of poultry annually.

"Since 2005, China has implemented a nationwide vaccination program and is responsible for >90 percent of the global consumption of H5 AIV vaccines," the researchers said.

Don’t suppose it’s too late to just F off to China?

It’s already bad enough burgerland decided they’ll just have to live with covid forever since they just couldn’t be bothered to forgo treats for such an occasion.

Carnists are absolutely shocked by completely predictable result of torturing and murdering billions of animals in pits of shit and blood.
