Bird flu outbreak kills 95% of Hickman's Arizona chickens, closes West Valley farms The Arizona company will not be able to meet 100% of customer demand and expects to cut hundreds of jobs, company leader Glenn Hickman said.

"We need to access the vaccine that the federal government has already approved." Hickman pointed squarely at the meat bird industry’s lobbying efforts against an avian flu vaccine for the nationwide outbreak. #h5n1 #eggs #Arizona #rfkjr #birdflu

I’m pretty sure biological sex is binary (XX or XY).
Less than 1% of humans are born with intersex conditions (Klinefelter’s, ~0.1%, Turner’s, ~0.05%, XYY ~0.1%, XXX ~0.05%, and rare mosaics.)

#H5N1 is greatest PANDEMIC threat to Britain, says health watchdog
The ‘relatively small’ number of infections detected in Britain so far is the ‘tip of a potential iceberg’.

Warning comes as the virus was detected in a sheep in Yorkshire (first time ever).

What a magnificent allocation of healthcare resources!
No wonder we pay more,and get less?
Never before have the regulated known so much more about a topic than the regulators.
The system will continue in current form until the price of the inefficiencies causes it to collapse under its own weight.

LIQUID BIOPSIES pick up very early cancer
DNA from a drop of blood. We are already close to a reliable blood test for the 50 commonest malignancies. Why stick a needle through your chest late, when u can take a drop of blood EARLY.

PET/MRI scanning is revolutionary.
Yearly whole body scans will look at ‘form’ and function. We will find all lumps early,know if it is metabolically active.
Full cardiac studies (MRI/MRA) will risk stratify your CVS system better than currently.

Our immune systems will be programmed early on to protect us from external infections and internal cancers and autoimmune diseases.
mRNA technology will be vital for our immune system’s training.

END OF DIGITAL PROSTATE EXAMINATION.

Future of healthcare will need few Doctors,even FEWER Surgeons,and NO reporting Radiologists, Pathologists,Dermatologists.
The diseases we don’t predict with genetic testing at birth,will be diagnosed before clinically apparent.
