The drum beat for bird flu vaccines has begun: nonsensical, couched in a pseudo-scientific jumble of thoughts.

from Meryl Nass

This is from Kaiser Health News and ABC News.

Here are the nuggets that makes sense in this article:

• “There's no evidence that this year's bird flu virus spreads between people or causes serious disease in humans.

• And it's unclear how well the available vaccine would prevent either scenario.”

Ignore everything else.

Actually, there are many “available vaccines” and none of the stockpiled vaccines are matches for the current H5N1. There are several vaccines in development but you can’t test them against a virus that does not exist. There is no bird flu virus that transmits human to human, so there is no way to tell if a vaccine would work against some future virus. Remember, for this virus to become a problem, it has to gain the ability to transmit human to human efficiently. But it also has to become more pathogenic. The chance of all this happening outside a lab is miniscule.

No rapidly produced vaccine has ever been safe and effective. Never. Do YOU want to be first up to try out the next one?

Michigan leading US on monitoring and studying bird flu outbreak

from the Guardian

As questions swirl about the spread of bird flu among livestock and people, one US state – Michigan – has taken the lead on monitoring and studying the outbreak.

Other states have seemed wary of tracking cases among animals and people, but Michigan has taken a proactive approach, with daily text messages and phone calls to check on farm workers who work with cows that have tested positive for H5N1. They also have offered free tests if symptoms develop.

Officials weren’t surprised when a third person tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza, and they weren’t surprised that it happened in Michigan. Nearly two-thirds of the people being monitored for H5N1 symptoms are in Michigan, Nirav Shah, principal deputy director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said recently.

As of 22 May, 35 out of 40 tests among people had been conducted in Michigan. That means only five other bird flu tests took place in other states, including Texas, the only other state to report a case among humans in this outbreak.

Michigan is the state with the highest concentration of influenza A in its wastewater, according to WastewaterScan. H5N1 belongs to the influenza A family, and relatively high levels of flu A indicate possible outbreaks of H5N1 – most likely among animals...

More on the looming bird flu disaster. Lots of good new info, especially on how they avoid regulation of pandemic vaccines

(You should definitely be following her substack)

from Dr. Meryl Nass substack

You may not be surprised that our old friend, Sir Dr. Jeremy Farrar, 007, OBE who was licensed to Overdose 2600 hospitalized patients on HCQ in the RECOVERY and SOLIDARITY trials, has been on the bird flu beat for 20 years. No wonder he got his Order of the British Empire. He’s been stoking these flames a very long time.

And his fellow criminal, Dr. Peter Horby, Principal Investigator of the RECOVERY trial, who is only responsible for overdosing 1600 hospitalized patients of whom 400 died, was with Farrar in Vietnam 20 years ago to start up bird flu fear porn. He was made a Knight Bachelor for his services to eugenics in the UK in 2021.

Peter Horby, Director of the Pandemic Sciences Centre, and Professor of Emerging and Infectious Diseases and Global Health, becomes a Knight Bachelor for services to Medical Research. He co-leads the UK Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 therapy (RECOVERY) trial, the largest randomised controlled trial of COVID-19 treatments in the world. He is also the lead investigator of the EDCTP-funded epidemic-preparedness network – African coaLition for Epidemic Research, Response and Training (ALERRT). https://www.edctp.org/news/edctp-principal-investigators-receive-queens-birthday-honours/

Don’t forget the USA! The Council on Foreign Relations did their bit to stir the pot of chicken flu. They sent journalist and Senior Fellow Laurie Garrett on a national tour dressed as Henny Penny, to tell us that birds were falling out of the sky from flu, but not till they migrated to the US from overseas, and that millions of humans could die. Especially young, healthy people according to Garrett. (I’ve previously reported I attended one of her lectures at the MDI Biolab in Maine around 2005.)...

Bird flu spread raises global pandemic alarm

from Daily Sabah

Surging cases of bird flu among mammals, including U.S. cattle, offer a stark warning that the world is not ready to fend off future pandemics, a report said, urging leaders to act quickly.

More than four years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians are "gambling through neglect" by not putting enough money or effort into avoiding a repeat of the disaster, the report said.

The bird flu H5N1 has been increasingly spreading to mammals, including cattle in farms across the U.S. and a few humans, prompting fears the virus could spark a future pandemic.

"If H5N1 began to spread from person to person, the world would likely again be overwhelmed," the report's co-author and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark told a news conference.

It could even be "more disastrous, potentially, than COVID-19," Clark said...

H5N1: Big Business Making Ready for the Big Cash Op

from T

 

'The tech companies are starting to ramp up marketing to get in on the plandemic profits already, because they see what’s coming.  All that’s needed now is that inevitable emergency declaration (or are we supposedly still in an “emergency” by default?) so everybody and their brother, sister and second cousins can start submitting for EUA approval for their bird flu tests.  The experimental inoculations are probably already developed.  Just need to pretend to wait just long enough to break the warp speed record for shortest time to a phony vaccine while retaining the credulity of enough of the population.'

'T' follows my work and has first hand knowledge of medical research industries. This image is from an email sent to him this week. Clearly those in the know are making ready for the 'cash cow' that may end up being Disease X or the next plandemic. 

How Scared Should You Be of Bird Flu?

from NYT

How worried you should be about H5N1, the bird flu virus spreading on dairy farms in the United States, depends on whom you are.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has described the current H5N1 risk to the general public as low. The risk that the virus poses is tempered by the fact that it doesn’t spread easily among people — yet.

Right now public-health experts have the difficult task of urging authorities who can do something about H5N1 to take action, while maintaining public trust. Americans have just been through a pandemic that resulted in over one million U.S. lives lost. They may feel weary of more bad news or fear-based messaging. Communicating that while the threat level for most people is low, but if nothing is done it could become quite high, is not easy but is important.

Experts need to be clear that currently, the levers of action are squarely in the hands of government leaders and agricultural interests, not in the hands of the general public. But public attention is key to ensuring that authorities find the will to act.

No one knows whether H5N1, if left unchecked, will become the deadly pandemic that public health experts like me worry it could...

The mutant bird flu lurking on our borders

from RNZ

Highly pathogenic avian influenza - H5N1, or bird flu - has been flying around the world since the late 1990s. 

New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands are so far free of it, but now it has been discovered in mainland Antarctica and scientists say it is only a matter of time before it gets here. 

By then, it will be more than just a virus that hits ducks and poultry farms, although that is bad enough. 

The virus is mutating and has transferred with devastating effects into wild bird populations. 

It has also turned up in mammals...

NZ must be prepared for bird flu, experts say, as Australia confirms first human case

from RNZ (H/T T)

New Zealand must be prepared for the bird flu strain causing concern overseas, public health experts say, as Australia confirms its first human case.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu has been spreading among wild birds and poultry globally for more than two years.

But scientists are on alert for changes in H5N1 which could signal the virus is adapting to spread easily among humans amid reports of human cases and spread among cattle in the US too.

"The H5N1 virus is constantly evolving and could potentially become easily transmissible from person to person," the World Health Organization's (WHO) website states.

"If this occurs, it could be the start of a new influenza pandemic, as was the case with the 1918 and 2009 H1N1 pandemics."...

Bird flu is rampant in animals. Humans ignore it at our own peril

(Have the finally decided on the next PLANDEMIC? This one, according to them, could just naturally transform into something that takes the world by storm. No need for bat soup stories or for framing China, China, China, CHINA, China)

from CNN  (H/T T)

Mark Naniot remembers 2022 as the summer from hell.

As the co-founder of Wild Instincts animal rescue in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Naniot and his team spent the season sweating in gloves, gowns, smocks and masks and going through what felt like endless rounds of disinfection as they moved between the cages of the sick and injured animals they cared for.

The precautions were necessary for a trio of infectious diseases occurring with some frequency in wild animals that summer: Covid-19 was still making life difficult, and a devastating contagion called chronic wasting disease was showing up in deer in the area.

Then, there was H5N1 bird flu to contend with. “It’s highly, highly transmissible,” said Naniot, who has been involved in animal rescue for 35 years...
