6/12 MARINE MAMMAL MASSACRE: 2022-2023 in South America, H5N1 killed 30,000+ sea lions so rapidly scientists suspected direct mammal-to-mammal transmission.

Then dolphins, porpoises, otters infected along Atlantic coast.

The virus was learning.

3/9 The CDC maintains "low public health risk," but the numbers tell a different story.

Human infections now occur from both poultry AND cattle—mammal-to-mammal transmission is happening.

One missing evolutionary piece: human-to-human spread.
