In this Well-Read Red, we hear summary of and excerpts from a post by Rob Wallace titled "Whether Bird Flu is on the March Misses the Point," shared by Frann Michel.
Wallace is an evolutionary epidemiologist at the Agroecology and Rural Economics Research Corps and Pandemic Research for the People. He is author of Big Farms Make Big Flu, Dead Epidemiologists, and most recently The Fault in Our SARS, all with Monthly Review Press. He is also co-author of the more technical monographs Neoliberal Ebola and Clear-Cutting Disease Control, both with Springer. Wallace has consulted for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the CDC, and the People’s CDC, and has been a guest on the Old Mole Variety Hour (in 2017 and 2009).
His post originally appeared on his Patreon, to which you can subscribe for as little as one dollar per month, and was republished at MR online, where you can find the full text with details, diagrams, and documentation.
