Jan 14 2025 - In response to a user's comment - "The headline is extremely, almost dangerously, misleading. Scratch that-- it really is dangerous if someone only reads the headline, believes today's avian flu strains are no big deal and engages in unsafe behavior like touching dead birds. In fact, the entire article is pretty misleading. Here's why. The study was done with HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b only. The last paragraph makes this very clear: "Overall, HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b viruses currently circulating in cattle and other mammals appear to cause less severe illness in humans than historic HPAI viruses; however, they should be continuously monitored for changes that impact their transmission and pathogenicity. "But the point that is never made clear in this particular article is that only the cattle genotype was tested against an older type. The avian strain, D1.1, was never tested. This is the one that had two recent very severe to fatal cases in North America. A variation of this genotype infected two pigs in Oregon. This article is downright irresponsible." Given the concerns raised about the potential for misinterpretation and the need for clarity regarding the scope of the study, a more precise and informative headline was added, "Study finds certain H5N1 strains in cattle linked to milder human illness; other variants remain a concern". This headline accurately reflects the study's findings while acknowledging that other H5N1 variants continue to pose significant health risks.
