Chronicling the decline of 'journalism', tabloid/legacy media outlets, and, of course, respectable Science™ outlets and 'experts™' one catastrophic pathogen at a time
We note, in passing, the patent absurdity of 'excitement' among the veterinary 'experts™' in virology who are making 'good use' of the (flawed) rPCR testing.
I wonder when we'll see cat mandates or the like.
My personal hunch is, though, this is extremely stupid, for unlike, say, livestock (or fellow humans, for that matter), 'people' care about cats and dogs. Imagine mandatory 'let's kill all stray cats/dogs' orders--it won't fly.
"In August, the Cypriot government agreed to the veterinary use of the human SARS-CoV-2 medication molnupiravir." I find it interesting that they needed to approve the veterinary use of this "human" medicine since it was a horse medicine before it was a human medicine.
As to all the scariants about the variants, molnupiravir is mutagenic. It was supposed to create dead-end variants, but it has failed on that front and creates variants that are viable. (I believe I read that in a Dr. Peter McCullough post.) Assuming molnupiravir "works" in cats like like it does in humans, and maybe it doesn't, it's not the best choice if these people are terrified of variants.
"How long before we see a cross-over from cat to human? Somebody do something!"
You just know that will be the angle of approach for media-activists and influencers.
I just can't shake the suspicion that this mutation was created in a lab and then released.
One Health is the 'solution' (for yet another probably man-made 'problem').
I just wonder how the ancients got by without public health officialdom…
Trial and error. Mostly error. There was no shortage of less-than-scientific ideas back then either, be they ever so logical.
Hammering a nail into a trea while reading galdr to cure toothache or a bad back was still done here in the 1920s.
The upside being that counter to "One Health", it doesn't hurt anyone else.
So they have been poisoning street cats in Cyprus, is what I take away from the article.
It would seem that way, doesn't it?
