The first case was in 1959 in Scotland. The first human case was in 1996 or 1997 in China. Then around 2002, there was an outbreak in SE Asia that caused alarm then in 2005 it spread by wild birds into Europe and triggered a big WHO warning. The first gain of function tests was in 2011 and 2012. My comment was about the gain of function tests. I probably could have worded it better
I have a buddy who is a virologist. He sends me shit all the time about bird flu. The gain of function tests on it is wild. Also, note that we have seen this shit coming since 2012

I feel like the recession and threat of joblessness will sway a lot of those decent people to “just doing my job” their way into being okay with it.
Dude at least your dog wears undies, mine just freeballs all over the house just nuts and butts to sofa.
Don’t forget your lube Ukraine, you are about to get proper fucked and Uncle Samuel does not provide it for you.
For fucks sake, Donny, just Google “list of sanctuary cities and states in the US.” There is literally a fucking interactive map with that info in the first fucking link you lazy cunt.
This is my favorite thing about life. It doesn’t matter who, what, how much, or where we all end up dead. You can be rich or poor and in 1000 years still end up buried in a garbage dump.
Don’t worry, he will angel invest in something else, force the owners out, and steal the idea soon enough. You don’t change what works.
Lol, this is some grade-A country Karen bullshit. I don’t think I have ever seen a bigger little bitch baby than Trump. I’ve seen some big ol’little bitch babies in my day but, damn son.
Fentanyl is no joke. I watched a documentary on Fentanyl and OD 4 times. It was hard because the 3rd time I died.
I love how everyone is mother fucking Katy for going to space but no one is mother fucking the billionaire that sent her.
Look at these welfare queens at it again with their hands out and mooching sacks wide open.
Yep, and alcohol OD (poisoning) happens all the time and isn’t that hard to do either.
Edit: It sounds like I am all for cocaine, I never liked it, or any upper for that matter. It’s easier to die from cocaine for sure.
Just wait until he finds out Italians aren’t white 🤯
Hopefully, he is so busy being the quintessential '80s guy he forgets to cure his Boneitis
Hell yeah, brother! Turn that party up! Let’s get lit!
“Brah, the council is worried about the leak and wondered if you can find it and fire them when you’re done pounding beers.”
“Fire 1,000,000”
“But, my dude…the leak…1,000,000 fine brah, sorry to have disturbed your morning beers.”
We truly have come full circle from the good old days of W. https://youtu.be/zBGPw_LBiRA
I like to call them those cunts
I have to say it again, I am not a virologist. I am just a middle-aged peckerwood from South Texas so please don’t take anything I say on the subject of H5N1 as fact. It’s just my understanding of how things work in a field I have very little connection to lol.
Gain of function tests are very controversial. IIRC there were a few SARS-CoV-1 leaks in Asia from GoF tests in 2004 or 05. People use those to argue against them. It can also be argued that GoF tests help us map out what mutations we should be watching for so there will be faster responses when they eventually occur. It can also help to advance vaccine research.
When they are done they destroy the mutated viruses or store nonviable samples in secured labs. The security and precautions, for the most part, keep it safe. Or so we are told lol
In the big picture GoF tests are a drop, what should scare the dick off you is reassortment. That happens on its own in the wild. The hits include H2N2, H3N2, H1N1, and H9N2. IIRC H9N2 is a top donor for internal genes and making it a superstar in the reassortments of all sorts of avian flu.
Good luck
