Scientists warn of the increased dangers of a new bird flu strain
NPR, Nov. 27, 2024
“Short of a big vaccine program in the cattle, I just don't see how we're going to control it,” Dr. Gregory Gray tells NPR of the ongoing spread of a new strain of bird flu. There are at least 50 known human infections in the U.S. NPR reports but Gray said “it’s pretty clear, we’re missing probably a lot of cases of H5N1 infections.” Gray was also quoted in bird flu stories in outlets such a Web MD, the Associated Press, and Slate, among others.
