| Michigan farmer becomes third American to be infected with H5N1 bird flu - as Biden tells vaccine makers to start preparing for pandemic | |
| 2024-05-31 | |
The patient suffered from cold like symptoms such as a cough, which is the first time this has been reported in relation to this outbreak, as well as watery discharge from their eyes, similar to the previous two cases. Allergic to bird dander? The patient has been offered the antiviral oseltamivir and told to isolate at home. None of their colleagues or household contacts have reported symptoms of an infection. The case was revealed by the CDC, which said the worker had likely caught the virus from close contact with infected cattle on the farm. Officials in Michigan urged farmers with symptoms of an infection to come forward for testing today — as the Biden administration revealed it was brokering a deal that would open the door to doses of a bird flu vaccine being supplied to the US.

| #10 It appears to be a principal eye irritant anecdotally, and a respiratory issue secondarily. Wear eye protection (which they should do anyway) |

| #1 From the May 29 article, related: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a CSL influenza A vaccine in 2020, based largely on immunogenicity and safety results from a small clinical trial of 319 people. Dr. Peter McCullough, an epidemiologist based in Texas, said on the social media platform X that without larger trials, it’s not possible to know whether the vaccine is safe or effective in humans. Well, we have a precedent for mass testing on the general public. |
