So, I've been wondering the same thing. WHY are #BirdFlu cases down? Lack of reporting? Hmmmm...

Bird flu in humans hasn't officially been seen in U.S. in 3 months: "We just don't know why"

Health officials are making a renewed call for vigilance against bird flu, but some experts are puzzling over why reports of new human cases have stopped appearing

"Three of 14 experts accepted deferred resignation offers at the National Animal Health Laboratory Network, which responds to disease outbreaks with crucial diagnostic information, he said. They are among more than 15,000 USDA staff to accept the offers, an agency spokesperson said.

"And dozens of staff were fired at the FDA's Veterinary Laboratory Investigation and Response Network, which investigates animal diseases caused by problems including contaminated pet food. Cats in several states have been sickened and died after eating raw pet food found to contain poultry infected with H5N1.

"Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, said 'targeted surveillance has really dropped off precipitously since Trump took office.'

"She wonders if immigrant farmworkers are too scared to come forward.

" 'I can't argue with anyone who would be risking getting shipped to a Salvadoran gulag for reporting an exposure or seeking testing,' she said."

Excerpt: "The nation’s leading pediatrics group said FDA’s approach will limit options for parents and their children.

" 'If the vaccine were no longer available or covered by insurance, it will take the choice away from families who wish to protect their children from COVID-19, especially among families already facing barriers to care,' said Dr. Sean O’Leary of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

"Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows more than 47,000 Americans died from COVID-related causes last year. The virus was the underlying cause for two-thirds of those and it was a contributing factor for the rest. Among them were 231 children whose deaths were deemed COVID-related, 134 of them where the virus was the direct cause -- numbers similar to yearly pediatric deaths from the flu.

"The new FDA approach is the culmination of a series of recent steps under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scrutinizing the use of COVID shots and raising questions about the broader availability of vaccines. It was released two days ahead of the first meeting of FDA’s outside vaccine experts under the Trump."
