BREAKING: Bird flu spreads to mammals, fears of human transmission
Highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has increasingly spread to mammals and infected hundreds of people, raising concerns that it may lead to human-to-human transmission and turn into a new pandemic.

RFK Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, told Sean Hannity that bird flu "doesn't appear to hurt wild birds." That is false. The avian flu can kill wild birds. I've included local news segments about the mass death of wild birds from avian flu dating back to 2022.

When/if H5N1 makes the jump to sustained human-to-human transmission, the virus might not resemble the current stockpiled vaccine. The mRNA option allows for a better match to that hypothetical strain, as well as much faster mass production if needed.
