I've been following #H5N1 avian influenza for twenty years.

Today's news of a young girl's death from H5N1 in Cambodia is tragic and the news that 4 of 12 contacts are showing influenza-like symptoms is worrisome.

It's not time to panic yet by any means—we've seen similar events a number of times—but obviously we'll be watching closely.

Whatever happens, we need to be taking steps *now* to bolster rapid production capacity for cellular H5N1 vaccines such as Audenz.

@ct_bergstrom going from our COVID experience the World is just going to pretend the threat away and sacrifice millions of lives in that endeavour.
Why would it happen any other way, have we learned a single fucking lesson?
