There are reasons for optimism: vaccines and antivirals should be effective against avian influenza, and the world is far better prepared thanks to lessons learned from COVID, particularly in diagnostics and global surveillance.
That’s a very optimistic take on the lessons from COVID. Cause the lessons that I learned from political leaders was “Fuck the pandemic protections, the economy must be protected.” and “Science is wrong about everything.”
I’m sorry, you’re still being too optimistic. Protecting the economy COULD include things like “free vaccines” or “wearing masks” to keep workers from getting sick. What I learned was “don’t trust doctors or vaccines, all your body needs is Natural Immunity and veterinary medicine” is a real take shared by an alarming number of people.
We are all going to be fucked when the next pandemic hits.
And governments plan to start reacting in 2028, and to stop caring in 2029
2029
So as much as a full year of actually trying!?
Maybe this one will teach us something.
I doubt it.
Yes, how to kill the poors faster.
Can we stop pretending it’s anything else?
Have you met people?
