Every dose built trust in a tool that can be used against deadly viruses like H5N1, Nipah, and Lassa. It is also a shield against engineered threats. Protecting public health and national security means strengthening, not retreating from, this breakthrough.

All the things you mention are good to reduce your risk of getting infected from any kind of flu virus. For the #H5N1 virus, still mostly in birds & dairy cows, it’s important to avoid any sick or dead animal. Stay far away from dead birds wherever you see them, in park, backyard, etc.

The flu vaccine you got in the autumn were not designed to protect you from #H5N1 virus that’s spreading across the U.S. in cows and birds. A special vaccine will need to be designed for this virus if it continues to infect people.

Thank you Brooks. I will help as much as I can. It’s getting pretty rough on the other site, and refreshing to come here now. Thanks for sticking with me.

Know your brands very well, many are disguised behind wholesome appearing labels. Research your food and its source, even if it takes a little time, you’ll be glad you did.

I’m still loving meat, but very careful about sourcing only from small, local farms. No industrial ag, mass market grocers or discount clubs, no fast food. It’s not easy, can cost more at times, but I know exactly where my food comes from. It’s worth the effort, but I realize not practical for all.

Honestly, it largely depends one where you source your food. If from large industrial farms/feedlots, I’d skip it altogether or at minimum cook super well. #H5N1 isn’t the only worry from those sources.
If you know the farm & it’s practices, you can still enjoy your food as you like it. Buy local!
