The Associated Press is capable of very quickly issuing "fact checks" when it suits them especially when they are supportive of Joe Biden in some way. However, when a major story AP published about  a bird flu death turned out to be, well, fake news, nary a peep of correction from them as of this writing. I am referring to the AP story written by Lauran Neergsard on Wednesday which blasted out this headline: "Man in Mexico died of a bird flu strain that hadn’t been confirmed before in a human, WHO says." A man’s death in Mexico was caused by a strain of bird flu called H5N2 that has never before been found in a human, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. The WHO said it wasn’t clear how the man became infected, although H5N2 has been reported in poultry in Mexico. However, when you read a few paragraphs down, you see more information that reveals that perhaps it was not bird flu that caused the man's death despite what the AP headline said: According to family members, the WHO release said, the patient had been bedridden for unrelated reasons before developing a fever, shortness of breath and diarrhea on April 17. Mexico’s public health department said in a statement that he had underlying ailments, including chronic kidney failure, diabetes and high blood pressure. "Chronic kidney failure, diabetes, and high blood pressure." That's quite a list of "underlying ailments." And if you thought that perhaps AP should have held off on its alarmist headline, you would be right because a couple of days later on Friday, Reuters reported that "Mexico says bird flu patient died of chronic disease, not virus." A man who contracted bird flu in Mexico died due to chronic diseases and not the virus, Mexico's health ministry said on Friday. Earlier this week, the World Health Organization reported the first laboratory-confirmed human case of infection with A(H5N2) avian influenza in Mexico. In a Friday press conference in Geneva, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier described the man's case as a "multifactorial death" and noted that experts were still investigating whether he was infected by someone or by contact with animals. ...Mexico's health ministry on Friday stressed that the 59-year-old man's death was due to chronic conditions that led to septic shock, and was not attributed to the virus. "The diseases were long-term and caused conditions that led to the failure of several organs," the ministry said, citing the findings by a team of experts. ...The ministry added that there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission of the A(H5N2) virus stemming from the case. It appears that WHO and AP jumped the gun in promoting the idea that the man in Mexico died from bird virus. And yet still (as of this writing) no update nor correction of the fake news bird flu story by AP. Many people can see the record of WHO on the COVID pandemic and be skeptical of their search for new pandemics. AP, who has a soft spot or a natural affinity for global bureaucracies, is not that kind of skeptic.

A school district in New York has decided to install vape detectors in its middle school bathrooms, according to Fox News Digital.The FlySense FS300 detectors that were installed at Lindenhurst Middle School on Long Island can key in on THC and nicotine. They are also able to detect sounds, which notifies officials about potential fights or bullying.'There's still a consequence, but now we've added that education piece ... They also have to do a component of research based on vapes, how it hurts you.'The pricey detectors were purchased by the Town of Babylon using funds from the American Rescue Plan, according to the report."The device not only picks up nicotine in the air, it also picks up on THC and also picks up on aggressive behavior, so students looking to bully and fight in the bathrooms," Derek Peterson of Soter Technologies said, according to the New York Post.Peterson went on to mention that the devices use artificial intelligence algorithms to differentiate between door and toilet lid slams and those who might be bullying or fighting in the bathrooms. However, there are no microphones in the devices, he added. When the devices detect something suspicious, it automatically sends an email to the principal. The students who were caught vaping would then be handed over to professional intervention services, per reports."There's still a consequence, but now we've added that education piece ... They also have to do a component of research based on vapes, how it hurts you," Principal Frank Naccarato said.Two students have already been caught and connected to professional services. The devices were installed just two weeks ago, according to Fox News Digital.The district considered installing the detectors in the bathrooms after a student learning from speaking with friends that her classmates were so addicted that they would have to go to the bathroom to vape."I was doing research on it, and I saw the side effects and how you can get popcorn lung, all the severe cancer you can get," the student, Vanessa Probst, said.The same devices are expected to make their way into Lindenhurst High School, as well as other districts in the state.While the students caught are required to do research about how the substances harm their body, it is unclear how the school has decided to discipline students who have been caught vaping. The CDC published a statement that said about 4.6% of middle school students in 2023 had used some type of e-cigarette device.Like Blaze News?

In September of last year, the Marubo tribe, residing deep within the Amazon rainforest, was introduced to the Internet through Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite-based broadband service. This significant technological leap has had profound effects on the tribe, bringing both remarkable benefits and unexpected challenges, including a concerning rise in pornography addiction among its younger members.  The Arrival of the Internet in the Amazon  According to an extensive report in the New York Times, the Marubo tribe, a remote indigenous community living in the Javari Valley—one of the most isolated regions on Earth—had minimal exposure to the modern digital world until recently. But thanks to the generosity of businesswoman Allyson Reneau, who donated 20 Starlink antennas, the tribe gained access to the Internet, marking the beginning of a new era for the community.  Read moreSection: NewsScience & SpaceRead Later
