Thank you for stepping forward to share your expertise and knowledge on this timely and sobering topic.

I especially appreciate your expressed concern for letting H5N1 to “just run its course”, as suggested by some currently holding high positions of public health policy.

It’s in excellent article, and an important reminder as to the potential pitfalls and risks currently being taken by many with their cavalier attitude towards the possibility of another pandemic. The seemingly expanding chorus of anti- mask and anti-vaccine voices is very troubling in light of the threats of these new strains of bird flu and more!

I’m still reeling from my experience working with covid patients during those first several months as the virus first came ashore in the US. Though there were great strides eventually made, the missteps and conflicts along the way were incredible. I remember it like it was yesterday and sadly, given some current trends, there’s a part of me that is thinking that MANY haven’t learned a thing!

I do appreciate your ending your piece on a positive note though!

Thank you for your fine work, this piece, and for carrying the torch for truth and reason in Public Health and education.

An Influenza pandemic was expected until Corona virus had other plans. Has quoted before, the clock is ticking but we don't know what time it is.

Off topic, but I wonder if there will be a Covid-19 booster next fall? Does anyone have insight on that?
