What a profoundly bizarre non sequitur of an argument from one of the biggest moral nullities in Westminster.

Amazing to see the Guardian as the newspaper publishing this piece from the courageous Dr David Bell. The tide really does seem to be turning. Would be great to see the Endocrine Society begin to prioritize evidence-based medicine and patient safety in this domain.

The prelim indication from seq data this week suggests that outbreak of H5N1 in US cattle from multiple states is derived from one introduction late last year. It would seem it’s has been spreading in cows since then
