Nope, no H5N1 bird flu vaccine for me. I'm not a bird brain like some people are.

Hello ATS,
I bring a touchy subject here with the recent H5N1 death in Cambodia. My intent is to not ruffle too many feathers but to have a rational conversation about what may, or may not, happen if this becomes the next pandemic.
Let us start with some facts. H5N1 has been detected in 58,484,673 birds in North America. You can see the detection map here.
We've seen this virus cross to humans in Cambodia. An 11 year old girl has passed on from this disease and her father also seems to have it. Source
My questions to you is, if this was the real deal this time, would you take a vaccine? Would you take any precautions or did the Covid scare just numb you to any further pandemics?
My opinion. *put your tin foil hats on* I think a lot of people will not subject themselves to any new vaccine even if this time you really do need it. If you're paying any attention at all, the Covid vaccine does not provide any protection nor does it prevent transmission. I think this is in our knowledge base now so when the real threat comes, people are not going to get any further vaccinations. That's when the real disease happens. Obviously monitor your situation but if you see people dropping dead from H5N1, it might be time to get out of dodge or take the vaccination.
*tin foil hat off*
What say you?

Even if there is a legitimate H5N1 pandemic, I bet it will be named "Marburg Virus" until people catch on, then the pandemic will get names something vague. Like what they did with the SARS Corona Virus Type-2/covid.

I don't think this will be the case, at least in The United States. Think about the people that will resist, probably rural area's. Think about the women and men you know that hunt, I mean unless you're stupid, you probably don't want to go anywhere near these people's property. I mean unless you want to die.

How many poeple resisyed the last jab and by which demographic?
You're not only wrong, you're deluded.

You can't compare the two events. People were scared the first time around. Very scared. We haven't had a global pandemic in their lifetimes.
This next one, everyone will be aware of what happened in the last one since it was just a few years ago. The premise of my post is what will people do this time.
I'm not sure why you are attacking my logic, I'm just asking questions.

So that means you're not falling for this next pandemic?

What pandemic? You're making it up.
