I hope Kamela’s team is ready to rock with a plan in deploying the bird flu vaccine, because we’ve dismantled all the distribution infrastructure from COVID and polarized people against vaccination campaigns just in time for zoonosis to fuck us

Mpox, a viral zoonosis, is typically associated with localized skin lesions and flu-like symptoms. However, as seen in 2022, the virus can have more far-reaching effects and systemic complications, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.

181/250 is The reverse zoonotic potential of SARS-CoV-2 It's a good summary review, but "reverse zoonosis" is a pet peeve of mine. Zoonosis implies multidirectional cross-species transmission, you don't need to specify

The balance of extant evidence, while not without some remaining unknowns, overwhelmingly indicates COVID-19 emerged as a mundane zoonosis of natural virus at or just upstream of Huanan market in late 2019 likely via an intermediate mammal host like raccoon dogs. The media often fails to convey this

The stuff they learn about zoonosis is going to be essential because that's much more like to be the way we're going to be getting pandemics in the future. (But we should be worried about lab leaks, of course.)

Two years ago, we demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic likely began at the Huanan Market via zoonosis resulting from the wildlife trade. Many unanswered questions remained about the animals themselves. Some answers, out today in @CellCellPress. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Genetic tracing of market wildlife and viruses at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic

DNA of mammalian wildlife species susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 was detected along with SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses in environmental samples from animal stalls located at the market epicenter of the emer...

This debate seems destined to become chronic. I just don’t see why so many people are invested in the lab leak idea. But, every time investigation supports zoonosis (well understood, almost universally the source of other human epidemics) some question arises. (Gift link.) wapo.st/3TzpExl

Scientists again link covid pandemic origin to Wuhan market animals
Scientists again link covid pandemic origin to Wuhan market animals

Genetic evidence from a new report suggests the coronavirus pandemic most likely spilled over from animals in the Wuhan market.
