    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.

        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.
