The 162 corporations and trade associations which declare EU lobby budgets of over €1 million annually, collectively declare at least €343 million per year.
Five-year growth: Since 2020, these corporate interests have declared nearly €86 million more, marking a one-third increase over five years.

After delay, #CDC releases data signaling #BirdFlu spread undetected in #cows and #people

"The first study on the #H5N1 bird flu outbreak from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make it to publication under the #Trump administration came out Thursday.
"The journal released data suggesting some #spillovers from dairy cattle into humans have gone #undetected, including in states where dairy herds have not tested positive.
"This comes after a #freeze in external communications that interrupted the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or #MMWR, a mainstay of public health communication. Publication on other topics resumed last week.
"In the new study, researchers analyzed blood samples collected from 150 veterinarians who worked with cattle around the country and found that three of them had #antibodies to the H5N1 virus, indicating recent infections. None recalled having any influenza-like symptoms or conjunctivitis. They also did not care for any cattle with known or suspected infections, although one did work with infected poultry.
"The findings underscore the difficulty of detecting and controlling human infections based on whether a person seeks out medical care, says Gregory Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
"'If the circulating #H5 viruses become more transmissible between humans, we are not going to be able to control transmission as the viruses will spread rapidly and often #subclinically,' says Gray.
"Previous CDC research that surveyed dairy workers found 7% had evidence of past infections, although only half reported symptoms. Work from Gray and his colleagues in Texas also indicates some cases in the dairy industry workforce are going undetected.
"'It means our surveillance is inadequate,' says Lauren Sauer, a professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health. 'Any detection of #asymptomatic or mild cases in this study just tells me we're missing cases.'"

"European banks’ sectoral policies are too weak overall, as only four restrict financing to companies developing new oil and gas fields, and only one prohibits financing to LNG export terminal developers."

"The need for decarbonisation poses an existential threat to the #oilAndGas industry, which is why they have created multiple ‘escape hatches’ to continue fossil fuel burning, including techno-fixes like CCUS and carbon removals. […] Europe is showering public money and policy support on these dangerous distractions designed to keep Big Oil and Gas in business."

From the Bruegel thinktank: "In the absence of good public data, special interests find it much easier to lobby for suboptimal approaches. The EU has a substantial problem in this respect, as energy data is not available currently in a timely way or at the level of granularity, reliability and consistency needed for informed policymaking."

Loved learning more about this incredibly detailed research: Scientists studying found flying foxes found that they shed much more #Hendra virus when they were starving – their search for food pushed them closer to humans and livestock
This combination set the stage for a surge in spillover events, where pathogens jump to other animals or humans. And it allows experts to predict when #spillovers will happen: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/why-hungry-bats-could-start-next-pandemic/ #onehealth #bats #australia
