Article EXCERPT:
Federal health officials said the government is also pursuing an mRNA bird flu vaccine, based on the same technology as Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines.
Chin-Hong said this type of vaccine could potentially be updated more quickly to match the currently circulating strains of the virus. But these vaccines have their own challenges, he said, such as needing to be stored at extremely cold temperatures.
In addition, given that these vaccines would be a new use of the mRNA vaccine technology, the FDA may require clinical trials which could delay the roll-out to the greater population.
There are other options for dealing with an outbreak of bird flu in people, including antivirals such as Tamiflu, which would be given to people who are already infected.
“Different interventions speak to different people,” said Chin-Hong. “In general, Americans prefer to treat something rather than prevent it, which can be a challenge.”
As seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s not just how many vaccine doses you can ship that matters, but also how many people receive the vaccines.
“The problem we may have is that there is more vaccine hesitancy now, so people may not be as willing to get vaccinated,” said Diemert. “I don’t know if that will be different because the [hen egg] flu vaccine technology has been around for decades and there’s a lot of evidence of its safety.”
Chin-Hong pointed to the poor current COVID-19 vaccination rates among American adults as a sign of vaccine fatigue.
Around 22% of all American adults have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine, with a slightly better rate (38%) among older adults, according to the CDCTrusted Source. Both rates are much lower than health officials would like to see.
“That shows how fatigued people are [with vaccination campaigns],” said Chin-Hong. “This [hesitancy] would need to be addressed in the same breath as having a well-oiled plan [for rolling out the vaccines].”
Adalja is concerned not just about vaccine hesitancy, but with growing public opposition to vaccines, in general.
“In 2009 with H1N1, vaccination uptake was subpar because concerns raised by the anti-vaccine community — which were unwarranted concerns — dissuaded people from getting vaccinated,” he said.
But “after COVID-19, the anti-vaccine movement is more powerful than it has been in decades,” he added. “So I think mounting a vaccination campaign in an [future] emergency is going to be very difficult to do in the current political environment.”

Fine ,ship them over seas. Hamas needs the jab, Issis ,needs the jab, Hizballah, needs the jab, The Sunis need the jab, sounds good to me, have at it.
USA is vaxxed for 275 million Americans.
USA is still functioning.
IRS is working better than ever.
Gas stations have plenty of gas.
Stores report no shortages of baby formula.
I am booked on flight from Orlando to Seattle in June.
Could be a Boeing plane.
Glass is half full?
If the birds or fowl get this vaccine , what happens to us when we buy and eat these “birds”?
Keep digging, Deep State...
I can’t wait!
“it’s the bird flu so if you’re not a bird you shouldn’t have to take it.”
Once these shots hit the market, we’ll know if the dodo bird really is extinct.
You are not keeping up. The new chinese bird flu has already jumped to cows and they may be infecting fish with it too. There are reports of fish acting all impaired in Florida.
I doubt you’ll think that if you get exposed to an animals that is found to have rabies.
Because the only thing standing between you and a 99.99% mortality rate is HRIG and a rabies vaccine.
And ivermectin isn’t going to save anyone from rabies.
“The problem we may have is that there is more vaccine hesitancy now, so people may not be as willing to get vaccinated,”
I can’t imagine why that would be. What could possibly have happened to cause this “problem”?
No just No, but Hell No!
But who will take it?
Medical community trust so far in the shitter, I'd hope no one.
Nice fantasy world you live in.
since these folks lean towards tyranny, I suspect the WHO will be given the lead
not good
Lefties. Those that are afraid of their own shadow. Those that believe the government is here to help. Those that are still wearing that stupid covid mask. Those that took all 191 covid boosters and for some odd reason are still alive.
Save every dose for leftists and illegals.
That’s about what we did. We treated with Ivermectin and the cocktail of various supplements. I really enjoyed the brain fog. It was kind of cool. I did get monoclonal antibodies because I have asthma. Not sure if that was right or not. My wife is still slowly getting her sense of smell back. It’s been gone for years.
No chance that we would take the shot. Only one of our kids did, and she quit after the first one.
No human has died from bird flu, right? But I know they want this to be their disease x. There have been several cases of it in humans this year and everyone is fine.
Life is good! Hope same for you!!
My husband hasn’t been able to see his sister face to face more than once since covid hit, because he isn’t vaxxed, and she refuses to get near him. Of course, she listens to the MSM exclusively and hates Trump. She does have health problems (cancer survivor and asthma, but so does my husband. She’s a retired medical technologist with a 4 year degree and some law school, but she is definitely not an independent thinker.
