The administration is slashing HHS & its agencies, but #H5N1 #birdflu doesn't care.

Bird flu reinfections at US poultry farms highlight need for vaccines, experts say Aggressive prevention including wider changes to poultry raising needed after at least 56 US farms doubly infected

I don't think that the recurrent #H5N1 spillovers and outbreaks issue can be resolved without vaccination of livestock. We have passed the point where culling and quarantine will suffice to get this under control.

An oral norovirus vaccine tablet was safe and elicited mucosal immunity in older adults in a phase 1b clinical trial An oral norovirus vaccine tablet is safe and induces strong mucosal and systemic immune responses in adults aged 55 to 80 years.

In the US alone, each year, norovirus causes ~20 million acute gastroenteritis cases, 70,000 hospitalizations, up to 800 deaths, at a cost of ~$10.6 billion annually.
An pill vaccine shows considerable promise in a clinical trial, establishing mucosal immunity

WashU engineers make microwave-sized bird flu detector amid outbreak The researchers say the device could keep farmers from having to cull their flocks when they detect the contagious virus, which has affected more than 5 million birds in Missouri since 2022.

Story from @stlpublicradio.bsky.social about H5N1 biosensor, prototype made at @washu.bsky.social 🧪 🩺 🐓 Researchers are looking for non-profit funding or commercial partners to hustle this to farmers. Normally USDA would take the lead but they are AWOL.

Eggs are too expensive in the U.S., so they say, ‘Just buy a chicken!’ Sure, because nothing fixes a crisis like turning everyone into farmers. With bird flu running wild, though, it’s almost like the chickens are coming home to roost—but not in the way anyone planned.

You are so wonderful!

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

A reminder for these times.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
