I am not as sure about FLiRT becoming the dominant one, as I was before

The competion is growing, especially KP.3 (F456L+Q493E, no R346T), which is not surprising seeing that Yunlong Richard Cao found it most immune evasive and Ben Murrell found it to have the biggest growth advantage

It's been just over 1 month since Dept. of Agriculture reported finding #H5N1 #birdflu in dairy cows. There are still many questions about what's going on & the risk it poses to people. But some things are starting to come into focus. By Megan Molteni & me. statnews.com/2024/04/30/h5n…

Too. Bloody. Slow.

Since JN.1 lineages have replaced XBB lineages and JN.1 subvariants are continuously gaining immune-evasive mutations, such as R346T, F456L, R346T+F456L (FLiRT), and F456L+Q493E (KP.3), it's time to evaluate whether we need to switch SARS-CoV-2 vaccine antigen to JN.1.

They promised you they would keep an eye on hospitalisations due to COVID.

How will you know if the politicians are keeping their word now?

⏩VERTLARTNIC DOUBLE FEATURE:
⚫️Masks Are Totally Ineffective And There’s Absolutely No Point Wearing Them.
⚫️Masks Are So Effective That They Stopped Us Catching Diseases in 2020, That’s Why We’re So Sick Now.

Oh good. Ridiculous people who don't 'believe' in biology have found me by email again. 🙄🤦

The postmortem exams of cats who died of #H5N1 #BirdFlu on dairy farms show devastating effects on the heart, lung, eyes, & brain.

‼️Do not consume raw (unpasteurized) dairy products.
