This administration can sure use someone like you, asking the questions that need to be answered for ensuring biosafety.

What about the workers? What about nearby poultry facilities? Aerosolized milk particles are everywhere in milking parlors. The recent study showed virus is everywhere on facilities. Dairy production represents a biosecurity threat that is impossible to contain.

Could 1mL of raw, H5N1-infected milk potentially infect 10,000 to 100,000,000 turkeys?

Obviously, these lab titers donโ€™t translate cleanly into real-world transmission because dose, route, strain, host species, and environmental factors all matter...

So, I'm just thinking out loud here, say raw milk has on the order of 10^4 to 10^9 virus particles per mL, and it takes fewer than 10 virus particles to infect 50% of turkeysโ€”assuming similar strain, lab, and host conditions...

โ€œLife eats lifeโ€โ€”but does it have to?
Advances in precision fermentation now allow us to produce the same proteins found in cowโ€™s milkโ€”without the cow. These animal-free dairy products replicate the taste, texture, and nutrition of cow-based milk.

Should the American Veterinary Medical Association Guidelines protect consumer confidence in animal-based protein and the industryโ€™s social license to operate? Or should they protect the interests of animals, public health, & food security?

What do you think our government should be incentivizing with public funds? Corporate interests or the interests of everyone (no matter their species.)

Videos reveal lax biosecurity in New York poultry markets amid bird flu outbreaks | BBC Science Focus Magazine As bird flu cases mount at inner city poultry markets, footage obtained by BBC Science Focus shows workers and the public exposed without recommended biosecurity measures

New footage I captured inside NYC poultry markets reveals open doors, no masks, no biosecurity โ€” while bird flu spreads.

There have been 22 outbreaks in Queens markets since February.

Huge thanks to @bbcscience.bsky.social for covering.
