John,
Right now, H5N1 bird flu strains are spreading across the globe, devastating poultry and wildlife. The virus could mutate, jump to humans, and spark a pandemic worse than COVID-19. Yet, instead of preparing, the U.S. government is dragging its feet.
The Bird flu is a disease with a 50% human mortality rate and there’s a growing potential that the threat of it may grow as Trump regains the White House and RFK Jr. starts dismantling public health measures as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
We need President Biden and the CDC to take decisive action now because Trump returns, we know what’s coming: a gutting of public health agencies, a denial of science, and chaos in crisis response. Waiting is not an option.
Join us in demanding that the Biden administration releases a comprehensive plan to address the bird flu threat before it’s too late. Every day counts.
By acting today, President Biden can ensure that our nation has the vaccines, antiviral drugs, and surveillance systems needed to combat this looming pandemic. The last thing we need is another mishandled pandemic like COVID-19 under a Trump administration.
We have the tools and the knowledge to prevent a bird flu pandemic, but those tools are useless without action. Once the virus mutates and starts spreading among humans, containment will be nearly impossible.
Right now, we have the chance to build a firewall against disaster. Waiting until Trump takes office or RFK Jr. starts unraveling public health policy would be a catastrophic mistake.
Stand with us in telling the Biden Administration to release a comprehensive plan to protect the public from bird flu before Trump takes over the CDC.
Thank you for standing with us in urging Biden and the CDC to take bold steps now.
- DFA AF Team
