DJ, My NON EXPERT (!!!!) view/big picture; Both CoViD-19 and H5N1 did show "the impossible" in the last 5+ years...Mpox did surprise us twice-and NOT linking it to CoViD-19 immunity damage seems to me to be "anti-science"... A complex interaction between several diseases-transport-and several kinds of hosts is ongoing. One outcome is H5N1 itself has several (100+ ?) sub-clades/variants...With also an increase of other types of H5 (H5N6/H5N8...limited H5N2) spread and an increase also of H7/H9 flu-types... Measles (so far specific for humans) is on the rise in many places and also damaging immunity. https://theconversation.com/measles-can-ravage-the-immune-system-and-brain-causing-long-term-damage-a-virologist-explains-252354 or https://theconversation.com/measles-can-ravage-the-immune-system-and-brain-causing-long-term-damage-a-virologist-explains-252354 and also CoViD is diversifying-with lots of new variants. Both H5N1 and CoViD may be-by now-mostly spread via (wild) animals, sometimes even without a lot/direct symptoms. Again-on the longer run-and because of ignoring the very major risks-both CoViD and H5-flu WILL go global into humans...with lots of other diseases also increasing. A major risk may be in lack of immunity defense. A "very remote health risk" (maybe even in some plants...) may find the right receptors AND a lack of immunity to become a "disease X" mega-killer. DJ-Climate collapse only can be stopped by nature-humans are NOT doing anything rational...Pandemics/nature do not need humans for most diseases...ignoring risks is inviting disasters... |
