Is the U.S. prepared for another pandemic?
77% Informative
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.
