You might have noticed that the mainstream media is all up in a tizzy about a potential new health emergency that is on the horizon, just in time for election year. Only instead of COVID-19, the big, super scary bug is H5N1, otherwise known as the “bird flu,” and before you chuckle, you should know this virus actually is dangerous. Far more so than the coronavirus was and to be fair, that was no picnic, especially for those with pre-existing conditions.
What’s weird is when hundreds of millions of birds were keeling over due to bird flu, the propagandists we know as the mainstream media didn’t bat an eye, thus the folks who make up the general population didn’t care much either. Then, all of the sudden, bird flu starts hitting a lot of different mammal species all over the world. Still, not a peep from the MSM.
Now, smack in the middle of 2024, the legacy media outlets are frantically pushing the topic and attempting to fear monger among the general population as much as possible, despite the fact there’s only been one case of a human being infected by bird flu in the U.S. this year.
Maybe the folks who make up the “elite” “powers that be” know something that we the people do not?
There’s no doubt that a strain of H5N1 that could be passed from human-to-human would cause catastrophic loss of life. Is that something that could happen soon?
“The New York Times is reporting that H5N1 ‘has acquired dozens of new mutations’, and apparently some of them ‘may make it more adept at spreading between species…'” End of the American Dream reported.
The bird flu virus sweeping across dairy farms in multiple states has acquired dozens of new mutations, including some that may make it more adept at spreading between species and less susceptible to antiviral drugs, according to a new study.
That most definitely does not sound good.
Researchers are now saying that this bird flu “acquired mutations in late 2023 that allowed it to jump from wild birds to cattle in the Texas Panhandle”…
In the new study, the researchers collected samples containing virus from 26 dairy farms in eight states. Cows are not typically susceptible to this type of influenza, but H5N1 appears to have acquired mutations in late 2023 that allowed it to jump from wild birds to cattle in the Texas Panhandle, the researchers said.
The virus then appears to have spread on dairy farms from Texas to Kansas, Michigan and New Mexico. In at least a dozen instances since then, H5N1 has also spilled from cows back into wild birds, and into poultry, domestic cats and a raccoon.
Usually, bird flu comes and goes. It rears its head for awhile and then disappears into thin air for years at a time. However, over the course of the last several years, we’ve witnessed a resurgence that has been killing millions of birds all over the earth with no sign of it going back into hiding.
Is this dreadful illness going to be a continual threat to our cattle population? That would be a major problem for our food supply. What’s even scarier than that is that the strain that infected a dairy worker in Texas reportedly contained a mutation that enabled it to more efficiently spread to more humans.
The only person to have been diagnosed with bird flu during the current outbreak carried a virus with a mutation that allowed it to infect people more efficiently. One cow in the study also carried H5N1 with that mutation. More than 200 others were infected with versions of the virus bearing a different mutation that offers the same advantage.
Along comes the NY Times with all sorts of articles and reports that make it sound as if bird flu is going to be the catalyst for an extinction level event for human beings.
The good news is the worker in Texas who got the bird flu survived, but he did suffer from bleeding in his eyes.
The first image of a Texas farm worker infected with bird flu from a cow shows he suffered bleeding in his eyeballs.
It is thought to be the first known case of mammal-to-human transmission and comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned bird flu (H5N1) viruses “pose pandemic potential.”
The dairy worker attended a hospital in March after experiencing painful red, weeping eyes with burst blood vessels.
Cats who have consumed the raw milk from dairy cows infected by the disease have experienced “brain hemorrhaging” and “blindness.” Is it possible for humans to have these issues as well?
In fact, the FDA discovered that viral fragments were in approximately one out of every five samples of grocery store milk that they tested…
Tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of retail milk samples might give some indication of how widespread the virus is. The agency found viral fragments in one in five samples of commercial milk, although this virus had been deactivated by pasteurization so was not infectious.
But authorities are warning that raw milk could contain the virus…
At the moment, scientists are focusing on raw milk as a risk factor for transmission to humans. While H5N1 infections in poultry usually result in respiratory illnesses, in cattle the virus seems to mainly target mammary glands, which might explain the high amount of virus found in raw milk from infected cows.
According to data from WHO, there have only been 888 confirmed cases of bird flu in humans since 200. However, out of that 888, 463 have died. It’s important to point out that as long as humans are only getting the disease from other mammals, we aren’t likely to see a large-scale global outbreak.
However if we see a strain that develops which can move from person-to-person, we’re in deep trouble.
