Dr. Anthony Fauci believes that the current trends surrounding rising cases of H5N1 avian influenza could become the latest deadly global pandemic, if appropriate measures are not taken sooner and more testing is not implemented.
Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID), and served as a leading voice in both President Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden’s coronavirus task forces, revealed his thoughts on the Science Quickly podcast hosted by Scientific America.
Though Fauci is on the record saying that wearing masks is ineffective and did not prevent the spread of Covid, this time he still defaulted to saying that “when you look back at all the data, there’s no question that mask-wearing saved lives,” and how we need to pay “attention to proper ventilation in classrooms, in places of work, installation of [high-efficiency particulate air] filters in places where there’s a lot of people in a closed room.”
“So as a society, we’ve gotta pay attention to the fact that respiratory illnesses are important, even when they don’t result in a full-blown pandemic…,” Fauci warned.
Taking these things into consideration and how pandemic preparedness still needs to be in place, the host inquired of Fauci about the growing risks associated with bird flu. Fauci warned that this has the potential to become the next pandemic and mutate very rapidly to where the virus transmits from human-to-human.
He stated:
The thing that’s of concern today is that it isn’t just chicken to human [transmission] and then a dead end in human. Thank goodness, the humans who have been infected have not transmitted it to other humans. H5N1, historically, when it does infect humans—I’m not talking about the H5N1 that we’re experiencing now but the H5N1 that actually, historically, going way back to 1997 through the early 2000—had a high degree of mortality in humans. It didn’t spread from human to human, but it had a 30 to 40 percent fatality, which is horribly high for a respiratory virus. I mean, even the terrible pandemic flu of 1918 only had a 1 to 2 percent mortality. And the flu we’re dealing with now has less than 1 percent mortality, so if you could imagine.
The somewhat encouraging news is that the H5N1 that’s infected humans now has not generally caused serious illness. It predominantly causes a conjunctivitis and mild systemic symptoms. There’s been one case of a person who actually went in intensive care and was hospitalized, but the overwhelming majority did not have serious disease.
Now let me tell you the sobering news. The sobering news is that that can change because the virus infects more than one species and we know it can infect pigs. Pigs are on farms with chickens and with cows, and chickens and cows can infect, with their virus, a pig, and then a human virus can go into [a] pig, and then you could get a reassortment of a virus that has some of the dangerous qualities of H5N1 and some of the capability of spreading from human to human of a human virus. So that’s what public health officials are concerned about: that when you have the circulation of this virus in multiple species, including a “mixing bowl” species like a pig, you might get a reassortment and a mutation that could make this something we really have to be concerned about. And that’s the reason why the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] says although currently the risk in general is low, we still have to pay close attention to the possibility that that might change.
[…] Well, you know, even going back to original COVID, when you listen to what I was saying in the early years of COVID, we’ve gotta flood the system with testing. If you don’t know the extent of the spread, you’re really swimming blindly, as it were, not knowing where you’re going.
My recommendation—and I’m not alone in this; a number of my public health colleagues and my infectious disease colleagues say the same thing—we should be doing more widespread serosurveillance testing for the extent of the infection. Perhaps a large number of people are asymptomatically infected, and you really need to know that if you’re trying to monitor what the spread of this virus would be.
.....The WinePress has been routinely documenting for the last several years the persistent fears of a bird flu pandemic. Just recently the United Kingdom bought 5 million bird flu vaccines should the virus be labeled as a pandemic. Moderna has been contracted by the Biden administration to design a new mRNA-based bird flu vaccine.

Wonder how this little demon sleeps at night.
If beagles had anything to say about it they probably would lather him up with bacon grease and use him as a chew toy.
Satan has access to the throne of God and some believe that the COVID 19 jabs or shots are supposed to depopulate the earth? Satan has to have permission to do this if it is accordance to the will of God.
Scott, why don't you post the video, "A Shot In The Arm for those who want a non biased view on vaccines? Let people make their own decisions and not by putting up our own resources based on our opinions. Let's bring all these resources to court so to speak.

Non biased? Vaccines aren’t the problem. It is those shots that are labeled vaccines and are not. They are experimental with liability protection. It is like a pardon. A person does not need a pardon if that person is not guilty of committing a crime. In turn if these experimental spike protein accelerators were safe, there would be no need for liability protection. Plus, there would be no need to change the definition of vaccine to include these experimental shots. Why not just call them what they are and provide all the data from testing and make it available to the public for informed decision. Why bribe people with donuts or coercion with loss of employment. PBS has lost all credibility and it difficult to believe that anyone watches the channel anymore. DOGE would save the tax payer money by shutting it down.
Primum non nocere
Autism may have a relationship to vaccines, but the relationship to one particular traditional vaccine isn’t clear. The problem may be that the cocktail of vaccines in a young not fully developed brain is too much. 27 vaccines is a lot. The interaction of those vaccines administered at the same time is suspect. The only way to find out is stop the process and administer individually each vaccine over a longer period of time beginning with the most known to be safest first and give enough time in between for the body to adjust to any inflammation. There is not enough care about the patient in the rush to make a profit. Then if something goes wrong because of the cocktail of vaccines it is difficult to assign blame allowing a certain amount of liability protection with the excuse it wasn’t our part of the cocktail. Prove it was ours and that would be almost impossible. Pharma does not want to accept any blame that might affect their pipeline of profit. The vaccine given all at once is their preferred method.
