It's like 'dead birds flying': How bird flu is spreading in the wild That's the way one scientist puts it — referring to how infected wild birds survive long enough to spread it to birds and mammals around the world. And that's a serious risk for human health.

Avian flu is a conservation and public health crisis.

18,000 dead baby elephant seals. Terns having seizures on beaches. Outbreaks among livestock. Human deaths.

Draining research funds and gagging the CDC is dangerous for the whole planet. So are proposed mask bans. We need those n95s.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

BREAKING: Trump is expected to nominate RFK Jr. as Secretary of HHS.

The Senate should not confirm RFK Jr.

Pass it on.

The Future of Public Health—or Lack Thereof—Under Trump Any significant influence of RFK Jr. in Trump’s orbit would represent a recklessness never before seen in America’s public health history.

"Let’s be clear: Kennedy’s views are not 'alternative' to orthodoxy, meant to shake up the system—they are verifiably false. They are nonsense."

Nice overview here about how public health could be dismantled.

A journalist today asked me how I felt about the health shenanigans that's going on in the US post-election.

My honest answer: I'm glad I live in Australia right now. Also, you don't notice the benefits of public health until they're gone.

I do health equity research and teach courses on health equity at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Thanks for putting together this started pack.

Yes please
