'This could be 100 times worse than Covid': Bird flu warning from scientists who say HALF of infections with H5N1 in people are fatal - as White House says it's 'monitoring' the situation​





A bird flu pandemic could be '100 times worse than Covid' and kill up to half of everyone it infects, experts have warned — as the White House says it is 'monitoring' the situation.

Speaking at a briefing, virus researchers said the H5N1 strain of bird flu may now be getting 'dangerously close' to triggering a pandemic.

Multiple cases of the infection in a variety of mammals, including cows, cats and, more recently, humans, are all raising the risk of the virus mutating to become more transmissible, they said.

But others attending the briefing said it was too early to panic because there were still too many unknowns about recent cases to warrant sounding the alarm.

A White House representative said today it was tracking bird flu in the US, adding: 'We take the health and safety of the American people seriously.'

the pharmaceutical companies are working o a vaccine, the cost of which is $4,000 dollars a shot and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and it is illegal for a Doctor to order Tylenol to combat it.

Curiously these viruses know when Joe is in trouble and like the cavalry show up just in time.

How can bird flu be the NEW COVID when people have been "warning" us about it for decades? As long as the NIH isn't sponsoring any gain of function research at the Wuhan H5N1 Virology Lab i'm not worried.

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Protection reported that a person in Texas who had contact with infected dairy cows had tested positive for the HPAI. The person's only symptom was eye redness. The CDC said the person was treated with an antiviral for flu and was recovering. It is the second case of HPAI found in a person in the US. The first case was in a person in Colorado who was directly exposed to poultry infected with the virus. In that case, the person's only symptom was fatigue over a few days. The person recovered. The CDC considers the risk of HPAI to the general public to be low.

So is it going to kill 50% of people infected, or give them itchy eyes and mild fatigue?

That was more of a general statement, not directed at you. My point is that it's not new, it was the bogeyman before Coronavirus.

💉 The New York Post ran a story yesterday headlined, “Bird flu pandemic could be ‘100 times worse’ than COVID, scientists warn.” The news was a single Texas dairy worker caught bird flu … so here we go again!

In a long series of ridiculous neo-pandemic stories, this may be the most ridiculous neo-pandemic story yet. The “100 times worse” quote from the story’s headline was attributed to John Fulton, who is — get this — a pharmaceutical industry consultant for vaccines and the founder of Canada-based BioNiagara. So.

And according to the story, the U.S. already has two “candidates” for bird flu vaccines ‘in the pipeline.’ That makes two more bird flu vaccines in the pipeline than I will ever take.

At the top of its article, the Post reported the terrifying fact that bird flu — H5N1 — is around 52% fatal in humans. So, pray for the Texas dairy worker who … oh, wait. He’s not really that sick. Later down the article we discover his symptoms, I mean his symptom:

Not eye redness! Say it isn’t so. Man the lifeboats! Head for the hills! Where is Chicken Little right when you need him the most? (Maybe he’s down with bird flu.)

“They” — the singular dairy worker — is recovering at home. (Sorry about the awful grammar but the pronoun brownshirts made me do it.)

Eye redness. Not even pimples. His eyes are red. Somebody give him some Visine or something. It does make me wonder though; how did the geniuses who recommended outdoor masking manage to connect the dots between the dairy worker’s only symptom and the super-rare, chicken-to-human, red-eyed bird flu?

I mean, what Gregory House-level genius put two-and-two together?


image 12.png


Or, were they just looking hard trying to find a case among the dairy workers? All of them, by which I mean him, or maybe this time I do mean them … oh nevermind.

So far, this latest bird flu hysteria is nothing to worry about, except maybe how many poor animals will be destroyed, and how much more expensive chicken, beef, milk and eggs will will be next month. None of which, by the way, helps Biden’s re-election chances any.

If the pharmaceutical industry already has 2 vaccines for bird flu you can bet people will get bird flu.
Somebody has to pay.

This seems to be just in time to influence the elections in the fall. More mail in ballots, ballot harvesting and collection box stuffing. Around the country we will see a miracle. The dead will rise and vote again. Not in person but but with assistance from an empath who somehow knows that the orange man is bad and Joe is the only real choice. Besides big pharma needs a shot in the arm since the rate of covid vaccination has dwindled and this new plague will require their assistance again. I wonder how many covert labs operated in this country by our adversaries and cultivating new plagues to unleash upon us. Plenty of manpower has been coming across the southern border!

Doctor With ZERO Self-Awareness MAD at People Prioritizing Freedoms Over Bird Flu Panic​




The Left and the 'expert' class has no one to blame but themselves for the resistance of citizens during the next pandemic. No one.

They overplayed their hand with COVID -- from saying BLM protests were okay, but your dad's funeral was just too dangerous, to sending their kids to private schools while your public school was shut down, to dining at the French Laundry while your small business was shuttered.

No. One. To blame but themselves.

So Dr. Eric Burnett is mad that people are already vowing to not tolerate the same nonsense if the bird flu -- which will be 100 times worse than COVID -- makes them want to lock us down and mask up again.

Liz Wheeler said as much.







And the good doctor was ANGRY.

Freedoms in scare quotes is a nice touch.

Yes, Dr. Burnett, we value our freedom more than your fear.

Absolutely nothing is stopping you from staying home, wearing six masks, and getting as many booster shots as you want. If those things work, the fact that Liz or anyone else doesn't do it is moot.

And -- once again for the folks in the back -- the fact people are so resistant to lockdowns and masking is because the Left overplayed their hand on COVID.

They cried wolf and turned 'fifteen days to flatten the curve' into four years. People are still wearing masks (and demanding others do the same, lest they commit genocide), while demanding MORE boosters.

We all know what's coming, if we let it.
