Lovely Mastodon peeps! Do I know any virologists here?

(Or are there any who don’t know me yet, but would be up for chatting briefly? It’s background for a project, and I would be really grateful, and of course credit you.)

Thank you!

Diabète, sclérose en plaques : des virus responsables de maladies auto-immunes ? | RTS

Les #virus sont de plus en plus accusés d’être les déclencheurs de maladies auto-immunes chez des personnes prédisposées génétiquement. Ainsi, la #sclérose en plaque apparait comme une complication rare de l’ #infection par le virus Epstein #Barr. De même, le virus #Coxsackie B semble un facteur majeur dans la survenue du #diabète de type 1 chez l’enfant. En limitant ces infections virales par des #vaccins ciblés, serait-il possible de prévenir certaines maladies #auto-immunes ?

I've never thought drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk was worth the risk, although many people disagree. With H5N1 virus (bird flu) showing up in milk in some US herds, that risk has increased.

#BirdFlu Cattle #Outbreak Feels Like 2020, Former Surgeon General Warns >>>

The cow-to-cow transmission is the latest escalation in a global outbreak that began when the #virus reemerged in Europe in '20. It has since killed tens of millions of birds and more than 40k sea lions.

#WHO called this an "animal pandemic" on April 18.

Genetic fragments of the virus, discovered in grocery store milk, suggest the outbreak is more widespread than officials believed.

Bovine Veterinarian: A Message to the Ag Industry about H5N1

"Veterinarians such as Dr. Barb Petersen in Texas have been dealing with the virus in their clients’ dairy herds since at least March.

Widespread human infection with H5N1, if you believe this veterinarian!

Article:

"Her advice? “Protect yourselves and your people on the dairy. There's been underreporting of the virus. Understandably, there's been a lot of fear. But every dairy that I've worked with has – with the exception of one – had sick human beings at the same time they had sick cows.”

...

Petersen says she has worked with people infected by H5N1 who do not interact with dairy cows. “I'm talking owners and feeders who don't usually touch cows,” she says.

Experts are warning that a dengue fever outbreak in Latin America and the Caribbean could grow after 4.7 million people have already been infected this year, a higher number of cases than in all of 2023. The disease has exploded due to heavy precipitation from El Niño and climate change creating conditions in which mosquitoes that carry the virus thrive. PBS News has more about the disease and how to keep yourself safe.

🔥 I'M BRINGING IT BACK AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME 🔥

Just kidding. I was trying to see how destructive this can be. It keeps spamming new windows that are always on top until your computer freezes, and it overrides any quit signal like ALT+F4 so you can't get rid of it. Neat, huh?

A program that instantly spawns thousands of smiley faces covering the screen saying "You are an idiot!"
