It’s incredible that Trump’s people say the answer to bird flu is supposedly “better biosecurity” while they’re firing the biosecurity people.

"I am a biosecurity researcher who spent a year mapping threats to US crop production. To me, the screwworm outbreak in Texas is more than a livestock crisis. It is a wake-up call for all agricultural biosecurity."
The Texas Screwworm Cases Are a Wake-Up Call for U.S. Biosecurity
The U.S. biosecurity system is poorly prepared for new threats. Naturally occurring crop diseases not yet present could cause billions of dollars in losses if introduced here. Engineered pathogens del...

Biosecurity for me but not for thee!
This is really important and deeply concerning — devices that clean the air ARE in place for those working in the White House and Congress, guessing SCOTUS too, but not really anywhere else www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives...
![There are a couple of other things they should be doing, too. They can augment it with filtration with MERV 13 filters. If you can’t do it in the building’s HVAC infrastructure, you can make portable ones for about $60 [See Corsi Rosenthal Boxes]. The other thing that is super important and super powerful, probably the best thing we could do, is what are called germicidal UV lamps. If you set those up in a room, it’s equivalent to about 24 air exchanges per hour. So they’re even better than ventilation and filtering.
I should point out that there are, in fact, places that have installed all of these: fresh air, filtering, and germicidal UV lights. Do you know where they are?
LP: Where?
PA: The White House, Congress, Number 10 Downing, Parliament, the Reichstag, and WHO. All of our leaders have these protections and procedures in place.
LP: But not our schoolchildren.
PA: Well, the school where [former CDC director] Rochelle Walensky’s children go, they have these upgrades.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iqtkxhjp3ler2i3kfcwukuie/bafkreie6rs3ntnbnvtspfxl6qs5u4rgki34a5whpfqscdnijx4wc3m4wye)

“The idea that we would weaken biosecurity laws is like cutting off your nose to spite your face […] I have very clearly indicated Australia is not negotiating over the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. We are not negotiating over the news bargaining code. We will not undermine our biosecurity.”

East Suffolk Council made the right decision in refusing permission for the mega-chicken factory in Shadingfield.
This decision protects animal welfare by stopping hundreds of thousands of birds from being crammed into cruel conditions & it safeguards the local environment.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

The disconnect between the millions of dollars being thrown at biosecurity / biodefense right now and the simultaneous mocking of people wearing masks is so painfully, tragically stark. A respirator is a tool, just like a biosensor or a biological countermeasure.
