It's been five years since the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic.

Over 103 million cases of bird flu have been reported in the U.S. , with over 1.2 million deaths nationwide.

The public's trust in public health has diminished from 93% in 2023 to 85% as of January 2025 , according to a recent poll.

We've always hoped that we would never see the day where we see a bird flu pandemic.

But the risk of it is very different now than it was five years ago , than two years ago .

People who are not vaccinated are at risk, but there are many people who wish they could be.

If vaccination rates fall below 95% in a community, that community starts becoming vulnerable to the spread of measles.
