NY Times: The next Plandemic - H5N1 - Bird Flu


Recommended Posts

To be honest the concern over H5N1 has been around for decades.

 

There's already been examples of bird to human transmission of H5N1 over the years.

 

The real concern is when an H5N1 variant evolves that is capable of human to human transmission.

 

The risk of that happening is much, much lower than say engineering an H5N1 comstruct in the lab that is capable of human to human transmission. 

 

Good thing that type of thing is only the stuff of Hollywood.  ^_^

These viruses generally appear in large flocks of birds or herds of animals that are raised for human food production in unsanitary and crowded conditions.  So the virus acquiring the ability to inflect people and then transmit it from person to person might just be nature's way of getting rid of the source of the problem.

As I said H5N1 is not new.  I used to collaborate with the CDC on pandemic preparedness projects.  

 

So..what are the odds that this pathogen, that has been known to virologists and monitored for decades without 99% of the population knowing the first thing about it,  pops up as a threat and real concern to the general public via the MSM in 2024?

 

A paper from 1998.

 

The European Union faces up to the threat of a pandemic: meeting at the DGV on the influenza A (H5N1) of the ad hoc group on communicable diseases Luxembourg 14 January 1998
