HEALTH Bird flu that infected Texas man has mutated to spread more easily, CDC reveals —

The brilliance of this as "doom porn" is that sometimes bird or swine flu is severe. Millions died in 1918 around the entire world. My great-aunt lost her fiance in 1918, and nine months later, her sister adopted my Uncle (cousin, but he was an adult, so I called him uncle).

There are waves of similar variants every few years; most will kill either the fragile elderly or children. The 1918 version was evil because it targeted young adults by overloading their sound immune systems. Elders, having survived a similar flu in the 1880s, mostly survived.

So yeah, since COVID wasn't that horrific overall (unless you got sick or a family member did), this COULD be 100 times worse. But only if it goes from person to person like the one in 1918. Most flu doesn't do that, but sometimes it does.

I don't like the fear porn being shoved out there by the media. So far, ONE human has been ill, and they worked with infected animals. We should watch this and pay attention, but we do not need to panic yet.

I suppose Brazil will just start shipping directly to China at this point. Why bother moving cattle up to Texas?

Our food systems are being compromised right in our faces!

What is any elected official doing about this? Because the average citizen can't do anything about the food system crashing. People have been warning about this for decades and warning is all you can do about it.

Screwing with food will be the death knell of these United States. You can prep, plan, and armchair QB this senerio all you like, you can't do it forever.

There are 350 million people who are hungry out there. Food insecurities will be the end of us IMHO.

And not one shot was fired, whether an antibiotic/medicine treatment or lead. The deed is being done while everyone watches. I hope our allies and all the countries that have been parasites for all these long years are watching too. So goes the western world, so goes those she protected. When the USA falls/ fails so do a whole bunch of other countries.

Guess we've earned it. It's the biggest snipe I see these days. You voted for it, you earned it. Some didn't vote for this, still the country sat and complained.

It's a hellofa thing...

Oh no...I pray we aren't forced to give up our small flocks. This might be a good time to start freezing eggs instead of incubating them. I don't have a freeze dryer.
I routinely freeze eggs - in the freezer. Just break it open and whisk the yolk and white together. Some people fill ice trays with a single egg. I prefer to put 4 in a snack baggie - that's what hubby and I use for breakfast. Snack baggies are not freezer baggies so then I put 3 snack baggies into a qt size freezer baggie. That's 1 dozen eggs in a quart freezer baggie. easy to store and rotate. We just ate 2021 eggs last week and could tell no difference in taste or texture.

Who allows a lab to be built in their state? Who are these people who create this hell? What kind of a town would allow this to be built? My vet said parvo escaped from a lab and killed all the dogs. Nobody went to jail? Nobody had to pay? They put an Amish farmer in jail for saying some salve he made healed something. Other countries burn down places and burn fields of GMO food and basically use pitchforks to chase the evil from their towns. Other countries ban our food, but we allow it to be made and sold to people and we even eat it. I don't understand other than we have been taught to trust progress and science.

Just so I'm on the same page as everyone else, is this the year we actually believe what the CDC has to say about anything or was that a different year?

That's a typical acid remark from an embittered cynic, the hollowed out husk of a soul that's been disappointed more times than even the most venomous demon could justify, so it sounds like you're on the same page all right. Hope that helps.

The media are starting to push this H5N1 avian bird flu, which “experts” now claim has “jumped” into mammals, and now into humans, and could be “100x worse than Covid” (NY Post).

Flashback August, 2023, Russian MIL claimed the US were “preparing a new pandemic, just like they did in 2019”.

The Russians even specifically mentioned “avian bird flu” as one of the viruses the US were modifying to infect humans and orchestrate man-made pandemics, aka bioweapon usage.

It’s only a matter of time before the Dems start calling for mass mail-in voting and changes to the election laws. If the Deep State want to win in 2024, they have to steal it again.

Dairy Cows?
Why only Dairy Cows?
What of the beef cattle?
Anyone besides me thinking about the feed?

Remember the feed that messed up egg production for private flocks?

Commercial feed? Production controlled by the U-gly S-tupid D-umb A- well you get who I am talking about.

I am wondering how many free range, grass fed cattle and free range organic open pasture animals and foul have been affected?

I keep hearing about all these wild birds dying.
Anyone seeing any more than what is normal in a given year?

Where we live is a fly way for migrating birds.
Havent seen any dead.

The North Slope is a nesting area for Geese.

We usually hear about any dead animals or foul up there. Havent heard the first thing in the last few years. If this has a 50% mortality rate you would think it would show in the wild geese up there.

Is it only a 50% mortality rate in commercially fed foul?

Why dairy cows? Probably because they are much more closely monitored than beef cattle... a mild illness won't even be detected in range cattle, and feedlot cows might show temporary lower feed consumption, but high producing dairy cows are on the edge metabolically... they'll first show a drop in production, then a reduction in normal grain or TMR consumption. Then, depending on the disease or their condition, some will abort early pregnancy...ALL of which will be noted and investigated.

I have an old country backwoods friend who makes the comments about these interesting times saying,
All you gotta do to get the white man angry is get him hungry.
That kinda angry they will discover cannot be controlled.
That kind of anger has not been the spark but the powder magazine explosion that fueled almost every revolution in history that did not leave any of the PTBs alive in the aftermath.

Bird flu that infected Texas man has mutated to spread more easily, CDC reveals — as three pet cats die from virus and biggest egg producer in US is hit with outbreak - report



Health officials report that the strain of bird flu that infected a person in Texas has mutated to spread more easily, DailyMail reported. This raises concerns about its potential to affect more people.
CDC finds mutation in bird flu sample linked to Mammalian hosts, assures low risk to public: Mutation not found in cattle or wild birds

The CDC mentioned that tests on the H5N1 sample revealed a mutation linked to the virus adapting to mammalian hosts. However, they assured that these mutations were minor and the risk to the public was low. This particular mutation was not found in cattle or wild birds, with officials suggesting it might have developed in the patient during the development of eye infection, according to report.

Reports indicate that three pet cats in Texas have died from bird flu. The cats contracted the virus on dairy farms.

Additionally, the largest egg producer in the US has confirmed the presence of bird flu in its flock. There are plans to cull nearly 2 million chickens. There’s growing apprehension that the farm outbreaks could disrupt the supply chain or inflate the prices of eggs and dairy products.

These developments come at a time of mounting worry that H5N1, which has already caused a pandemic in the animal kingdom, could similarly affect humans. The EU’s Food Safety Agency (EFSA) cautioned on Wednesday that if the virus becomes transmissible between people, it could trigger a widespread bird flu pandemic.
Experts warn of virus mutations amid concerns over Avian Influenza’s jump to mammals

Infectious disease experts caution that each infection in mammals or humans increases the likelihood of the virus acquiring new mutations that could enable it to infect people.

Dr. Francois Balloux, an epidemiologist in the UK, warned recently that the situation “might change for the worse, eventually.” However, he also mentioned, “People not professionally involved in pandemic prevention/mitigation being worried/feeling miserable now won’t make any material difference to what may hit us, except that their life would suck, far more than it should.”

Dr. Peter Hotez, a virologist at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, informed DailyMail.com that these cases serve as “a reminder that avian influenza is circulating and continuously jumping to new mammalian hosts.” He added, “So far, the subsequent jumps to humans are still uncommon and not producing severe illness,” but he believes “this could change eventually.”

The CDC stated that the mutation detected in the virus infecting a dairy farm worker in Texas had been recorded previously and did not lead to a major outbreak at that time. This change, found on the PB2 gene related to how the virus replicates itself, has not been observed in wild poultry or infections in cows.

H5N1: Ground-up chicken waste fed to cattle may be behind bird flu outbreak in US cows

Yes, ground-up chicken waste is being
fed to herbivorous cattle.

Well who could have thought that was a good idea....

Oh wait.... folks who wanted to destroy the animal food chain? Hummmm.....
