Questions about H5N1 for which there are pretty clear answers when it comes to birds are suddenly unsettled science in cows. trib.al/MFhBrf1
Here’s what Canada is doing (and not doing) to watch for #H5N1 amid an explosive outbreak among U.S. dairy cattle — and why Canadian scientists warn we’re already way behind this virus without active surveillance. New from me: cbc.ca/news/health/bi…
B.C. backs off drug decriminalization pilot project following outcry dlvr.it/T64470
#H5N1 found in a cow with no symptoms; viral fragments in processed milk; striking trends identified in genetic sequences. All in just a week. And these developments suggest avian flu may be very widespread among U.S. cattle. More from Amina Zafar and I: cbc.ca/news/health/h5…

If the world needs #H5N1 vaccines for people, we're definitely not starting from a standing start. Lots of preparatory work has been done, especially in the US. But this would be no easy task & equitable access would likely be a huge problem. statnews.com/2024/04/24/h5n…

Another great (but frustrating) H5N1 piece from @LaurenPelley at @CBCNews. In the US, H5N1 spilled over from birds into cows months ago. Importing infected American cows is not the only route that H5N1 could take to get into cattle herds here. But to find it, we need to look.
Here’s what Canada is doing (and not doing) to watch for #H5N1 amid an explosive outbreak among U.S. dairy cattle — and why Canadian scientists warn we’re already way behind this virus without active surveillance. New from me: cbc.ca/news/health/bi…

Congratulations to the writers, editors, and other contributors behind this year's nominees for Best Editorial Newsletter! #DPA24 @NatObserver @CBCNews @reviewcanada @politicoottawa @thenarwhalca @Wealthsimple
As usual, a great summary of the H5N1 situation by @LaurenPelley @CBCNews, including interviews with colleagues at the forefront of the research including @MichaelWorobey, @SMubareka, & @DuckSwabber. And me.
#H5N1 found in a cow with no symptoms; viral fragments in processed milk; striking trends identified in genetic sequences. All in just a week. And these developments suggest avian flu may be very widespread among U.S. cattle. More from Amina Zafar and I: cbc.ca/news/health/h5…
The H5N1 strain of bird flu has been rapidly spreading throughout U.S. dairy cattle. Scientists say it has been transmitting for longer than official reports suggest and could pose a threat to human health. cbc.ca/news/health/h5….

95 per cent of colon cancer deaths could be prevented, says Dr. Ian Bookman (@gibookman), gastroenterologist at St. Joseph’s Health Centre. Ahead of the Toronto Bum Run this weekend, he answered our questions about colon cancer: bit.ly/4a0cn61 1/2
As I await responses to my #H5N1 questions from @InspectionCan, the agency is responding to social media inquiries — saying they’re not testing Canadian raw/pasteurized milk. (This, after U.S. officials found viral fragments in pasteurized milk + infection in symptom-free cow.)
@InspiredAquaCA We have not detected HPAI in cattle in Canada at this time so we are not currently testing raw or pasteurized milk. Testing is being recommended based on suspicion of the disease. HPAI is not a food safety concern as pasteurization kills harmful bacteria and viruses.
(NOT) BREAKING NEWS: Every story must come to an end and it’s with mixed emotions I announce I’ll be closing one wonderful chapter for the next. Today will be my final day at @CBCVancouver where I have spent the last 6+ years (and an industry I have spent roughly 14 years in).
