We've got scripts for both Democrat and Republican Senators so you can articulate an evidence-based argument for why they should vote no on confirming an avowed anti-vaxxer to direct the agency responsible for recommending vaccination schedules. https://t.co/fOKPu9zLCE

Streamlining grant review seems efficient, right? Wrong. This is an excuse to lay off SROs and consolidate grant review in a central ideological feedlot where good science goes to be slaughtered if it’s politically undesirable. Look up Lysenkoism. https://t.co/BzmvyWMry5

Mashup Score: 4Evolution of H7N9 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in the context of vaccination - PubMed - 8 day(s) ago
Human infections with the H7N9 influenza virus have been eliminated in China through vaccination of poultry; however, the H7N9 virus has not yet been eradicated from poultry. Carefully analysis of H7N9 viruses in poultry that have sub-optimal immunity may provide a unique opportunity to witness the …

However, the vaccines protected chickens. The variants that emerged were less adapted to infect humans. Some lost the ability to use the human receptor altogether! https://t.co/W6y8QLZ1GR

Fun fact: part of the reason this H7N9 outbreak was a problem was that it naturally acquired a furin cleavage site & PB2 mutations that increase aerosol transmission in humans. Courtesy of the most reckless GOFROC virologist of them all: mother nature. https://t.co/rO8Usb8eD1

Most of the data on poultry vaccination comes from Mexico and China. Mexico has used vaccination successfully for 30 years to control bird flu in poultry. However, this did influence virus evolution since flu vaccines aren't sterilizing. https://t.co/Hwx9pZYuCh

I wonder how Matthew Memoli will be rewarded for destroying American science, the economy, & everyone’s health. Personally I hope he’ll be cast aside by the masters he serves once he’s no longer useful like the disposable apparatchik bitch he is. https://t.co/pyMaqi2mD6

On 2 April, an infected traveller from Lofa passed through Monrovia, the country’s capital, but was not known to have transmitted the

This is happening in the capital city Kampala, which has almost 2 million residents. When EBOV hit Monrovia in 2015 it started off calm, then was horrific. 1000s died, health care overwhelmed, bodies lay in the streets. Ebolaviruses in cities are bad news. https://t.co/HJr0KtsVa5

Full risk assessment here. Basically, H5N1 is all over the place in the US in poultry, birds in general, & cows. There are a lot of opportunities for exposure. It's really important for both public health & pandemic prevention to stop human infections. https://t.co/IjGOzQLMVC
