Homöopathie wirkt nicht, sie schadet!

Homöopathie ist keine „Naturheilkunde“.

Homöopathie verzögert oder verhindert eine wirksame Behandlung. Das verursacht unnötiges Leid.

Otovowen enthält 53% Alkohol. Das ist mehr als in Schnaps. Und das für ein Kind???

With latest update from Dept. of Agriculture the total number of herds affected in the outbreak in the US is 49 herds in 10 states (without widespread testing mind you…)
8 of the last 12 confirmations are from herds in Michigan

In every outbreak, Liberia to Vermont, a contingent of people will swear the virus isn't real. A contingent will say it isn't harmful, and actually makes you stronger. A contingent will call it an excuse for a power grab, or a manmade weapon for population control.

Is Covid still deadlier than the flu in 2024?

The short answer is yes!

In 2024, Covid remains deadlier than flu.

Studie zur zunehmenden Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit berichtet in ZEIT ONLINE „70 Prozent der Befragten sagen darin, dass sie eine Zunahme von Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit beobachten. Und fast die Hälfte berichtet, diese bereits selbst erlebt zu haben“

Rise in the demand of raw milk despite found in milk - you cannot make this up. Raw milk was never a safe food & can cause serious infections, now it even has the risk of avian influenza. Just don't! There is a good reason pasteurization was invented.

H5N1 bird flu found at 4 more dairy farms, including 2 in Michigan, 1 in Idaho and 1 in Texas.

This raises the total number of outbreaks at dairy farms in the U.S. to 46.

Is anyone testing California milk for H5? It's not that hard to test, the positive milk has a ton of viral RNA in it.

I just want to know if H5 is in CA cattle.

It would be stupid if I have to have people send me milk from CA to figure this out.

A great thread, I very much like the 'lottery tickets' analogy from Tom Peacock - I would say we give a lot of lottery tickets for the big jackpot to this virus even for free to maximize its chances for a win.

I agree with this, and know of similar accusations for scientists working on . I would also add: Scientists are also humans, have family, friends, children, a sense of responsibility for the society that pays them. Of course we also must speak up for our values!

With spreading amongst dairy cows, one of the most important things to think about right now is what would need to happen for this virus to actually start a pandemic.
I'm on a train, so a brief thread...

This is one of those times when utilizing an H5-specific assay would be useful.

If this is H5, it would be good to know, even we you don't know precisely where it is coming from.
