USA leaving WHO
stopping funding woke science like vaccines and virology
rounding up all “illegal” agricultural workers, ya know, like maybe people that work in disgusting poultry farms with birds packed in like sardines in unhygienic conditions
shipping those people all over the country, pack them into detention together, then send them out across the world via deportation

Also, the growing popularity of raw milk and the guy nominated for the Secretary of HHS endorsing it.

Also also children catching bird flu with no known animal vector.

Also also also that same bird flu spreading coast-to-coast and throughout wild animal populations.

Yeah that's what I was talking about - a kid who doesnt work in any industry that exposes them to the virus got sick. That's not necessarily indicative of human transmission but it indicates, to me, that catching bird flu from an animal is quite easy.
