Don't know how much it's going to count for when the h5n1 pandemic hits, but it's probably going to be easier to get a flu vaccine now than any time moving forward, so probably wanna take care of that sooner than too late.

Easy!
Is there a non profit that can take over? Or a state(s) agency that can help out?
Just because the federal government decides they don't want to do a thing doesn't mean states can't do it (or heck local community).
This is true, but it's worth recognizing that a lot of the states, nonprofits, and local agencies rely on government studies and reports to make their own assessments.
With the government staying silent, it's going to be more difficult to get a sense of what's happening and what to do as a result. Not impossible, but the infrastructure isn't necessarily in place, because nobody prepared for the federal government to be this adversarial to public health and safety.
Yep it would have been best if federal government were to be the ones because they can work across arbitrary state lines for collab. But something is better than nothing.
Yeah, and like I said, it's not impossible.
At the cynical end, there's still business owners that recognize that having a slew of sick employees is bad for their bottom line, so even if the federal government does nothing, various businesses alongside the humanitarian groups will flex whatever influence they have to ensure governors, etc. do what needs to be done.
I'm sure someone can lawyer up a way to skirt the crybaby's command. Say they didn't 'publish a communication' but rather that 'data was made available through existing public and partnership channels'.
Except oh publishing anything right now is prohibited. They can't even release the data.
States and newspapers need to FOIA the data now.
California would likely be all over it. As much as I don't care for Newsom, he really doesn't like Trump, so I call that a win.
The order is only in effect until February 1. I'd be curious about it if it was longer but a 1 week freeze is probably about reducing miscommunication during the gov transition.
Biden instituted a similar rule for 60 days:
Literally, calm your tits
