The “Cluster” of Possible Human Bird Flu Infections Has Expanded to 8


The “Cluster” of Possible Human Bird Flu Infections Has Expanded to 8



A cluster of possible bird flu infections in Missouri has grown to include eight people. These eight could very well represent the first examples of person-to-person transmission of the H5N1 avian influenza in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday.

Should these eight people be confirmed to have contracted bird flu, expect the ruling health authorities to start rolling out tyrannical measures to “control the spread,” much like they did with COVID. But we can likely expect this to be more severe.... we feel like it’s increasingly important to warn as many people as possible of this likelihood.

“We should be very concerned at this point,” said Dr. James Lawler, co-director of the University of Nebraska’s Global Center for Health Security. “Nobody should be hitting the panic button yet, but we should really be devoting a lot of resources into figuring out what’s going on.” If officials are able to confirm H5N1 infection in the household member or any of the health care workers, “it means the virus is inching closer and closer to what would be a real pandemic virus,” Lawler said according to the Seattle Times. “That is when Pandora’s box is open.”

We all know that the officials will be able to find anything that they are looking for. If they want to see bird flu spread from human to human, that’s what we’ll see.

Is the risk to humans still low, like they have been telling us for months? Some could see the writing on the wall with this one. Does anyone remember that they did this with CV too? It’s like we are reliving the same story all over again:

Only this time, the “vaccine” is already stockpiled for those naive enough to line up for it.

The small number of confirmed cases so far makes it difficult to estimate its virulence, said Caitlin Rivers, a public health researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “If we’re thinking about pandemic influenza, even in a worst-case scenario, only a tiny fraction of cases would be severe enough,” she said. “At the scale that we would expect pandemic influenza, you quickly get to numbers that overwhelm.”
