HOUSTON — As Tina Kitzmiller sat inside her sweltering apartment, windows and doors open in the hope of catching even the slightest breeze, she was frustrated and worried for her dog and her neighbors. It had been days since Hurricane Beryl blew ashore from the Gulf of Mexico on July 8, causing widespread destruction and knocking out power to more than 2 million people, including the Houston senior independent living facility where Kitzmiller lives. Outdoor temperatures had reached at least 90 degrees most days, and the heat inside the building was stifling. Kitzmiller moved there not long ago...

Cinco trabajadores de una granja avícola en el noreste de Colorado han dado positivo para la gripe aviar, informó el Departamento de Salud Pública estatal el 14 de julio. Esto eleva el número conocido de casos en Estados Unidos a nueve. Es probable que las cinco personas se infectaran por manipular pollos, a los que se les había encargado sacrificar en respuesta a un brote de gripe aviar en esa granja. Más de 99 millones de pollos y pavos se han infectado con una cepa altamente patógena de la gripe aviar que surgió en las granjas avícolas del país a principios de 2022. Desde entonces, el gobie...

As bird flu spreads among dairy cattle in the U.S., veterinarians and researchers have taken note of Finland’s move to vaccinate farmworkers at risk of infection. They wonder why their government doesn’t do the same. “Farmworkers, veterinarians, and producers are handling large volumes of milk that can contain high levels of bird flu virus,” said Kay Russo, a livestock and poultry veterinarian in Fort Collins, Colorado. “If a vaccine seems to provide some immunity, I think it should be offered to them.” Among a dozen virology and outbreak experts interviewed by KFF Health News, most agree with...

For a brief moment, speculation that COVID-19 originated in a lab had been upgraded in the discourse from a conspiracy theory to a serious possibility worthy of serious inquiry. No longer. In an op-ed published in STAT on Tuesday, AIDS activist Peter Staley bemoans the "witch hunt" being carried out by an"anti-science mob" against EcoHealth Alliance—the New York-based nonprofit that had been using federal funds to do gain-of-function work on potential pandemic pathogens at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. EcoHealth has been the subject of immense, bipartisan controversy in recent mont...
