Flu viruses have a long history of causing pandemics; currently, H5N1 is spreading among animals in the U.S., raising concerns about potential human transmission.
The U.S. government has extensive plans for flu pandemic preparedness, including monitoring viruses and stockpiling vaccines, to address possible outbreaks efficiently.
Social media has perpetuated false claims suggesting that flu pandemic preparedness is evidence of an imminent lab-derived virus, which distracts from the actual risks.
Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s misleading remarks about vaccine preparedness demonstrate how misinformation can lead to public panic regarding health initiatives.
