Texas vet who cares for 40,000 cattle said nearly every farm that had cows sick with bird flu also has sick workers: ‘People now missing work who never did in the past’.
ed note–as we discussed on the most recent program, it is somewhere between probable and definite that this virus–just like Covid 19–is a weaponized, genetically-engineered pathogen that has been released at this time for the purposes of affecting a ‘2020 repeat’, meaning political/social/economic chaos in an election year.
And, at issue here is the very same issue that was the primary motivation behind the release of the same Covid 19 that was declared a pandemic by the WHO just 2 days after Trump hosted Netanyahu at the White House and announced that his administration was ready to move forward with his ultimate ‘Deal of the Century’–
The creation of a Palestinian state and the reigning in of the mad dog in the Middle East that seeks to conquer and devour every inch of Arab land as part of the ‘Greater Israel’ project.
This time however, things will be dramatically, and–one might even say, TRAUMATICALLY–different, because this new weaponized pathogen does not have a mortality rate of a mere 1%, but rather one of more than 60%, and with no respect paid to any ‘pre-existing conditions’ such as a compromised immune system.
It does not discriminate–new, old, sick or healthy, it does not matter, as human beings have no immunity to H5N1, and the stats are that if someone gets it, they are more likely to die from it than survive.
And, finalmente, as we discussed on the most recent program, the fact that this virus began making the news in the days and weeks just prior to Passover, wherein the Hebrews/Israelites/Judah-ites–whatever we want to call them, it all means the same thing–recall the ‘plague upon the livestock’ that features in the book of Exodus and that reads as follows–
‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may worship me.’ If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, the hand of the Lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats. But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’ And all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died, and yet his heart was unyielding and he would not let the people go…’
–what this STRONGLY indicates is that just as was the case involving the Israeli-engineered terror attacks taking place on 9/11 that–BY PURE COINCIDENCE, ALL CAN REST ASSURED–coincided with the day that Jews have for the last 2,000 years mourned the destruction of their 2 temples, i.e. ‘Tisha b’Av’ (which literally in Hebrew means the 9th day of the 11th month of Av) likewise, with the release of this ‘plague’ upon the livestock of America, the same America that is dragging its feet with regards to Netanyahu’s plans for conquering ALL of the Arab Middle East in order to fulfill all the commandments concerning the ‘Nile to the Euphrates’ business, likewise, a very powerful and a very DEADLY message is being sent to the highest levels of power in the US, and a message that more than likely was the topic of discussion that caused SoH Mike Johnson to do a 180 degree about face and push forward the $26 billion ‘aid’ package to Israel.
As we like to counsel the readers of this website, the Jews can be accused of many things, none of them complimentary, but the one thing that can’t be said about them is that they are stupid.
The first calls that Dr. Barb Petersen received in early March were from dairy owners worried about crows, pigeons and other birds dying on their Texas farms. Then came word that barn cats — half of them on one farm — had died suddenly.
Within days, the Amarillo veterinarian was hearing about sick cows with unusual symptoms: high fevers, reluctance to eat and much less milk. Tests for typical illnesses came back negative.
Petersen, who monitors more than 40,000 cattle on a dozen farms in the Texas Panhandle, collected samples from cats and cows and sent them to Dr. Drew Magstadt, a friend from college who now works at the veterinary diagnostic laboratory at Iowa State University.
The samples tested positive for a bird flu virus never before seen in cattle. It was the first proof that the bird flu, known as Type A H5N1, could infect cows. As of Wednesday, 36 U.S. herds had confirmed infections, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department.
‘It was just a surprise,’ recalled Petersen. ‘It was just a little bit of disbelief.’
At the same time, on almost every farm with sick animals, Petersen said she saw sick people, too.
‘We were actively checking on humans,’ Petersen said. ‘I had people who never missed work who were now missing work.’
So far, two people in the U.S. have been confirmed to be infected with H5N1, most recently a Texas dairy worker linked to the cattle outbreak, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About two dozen people have been tested and about 100 people have been monitored since the virus appeared in cows, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a CDC respiratory diseases official, told reporters Wednesday.
Daskalakis said CDC has seen no unusual flu trends in areas with infected cows, but some experts wonder if anecdotal reports of sick workers mean more than one person caught the virus from the animals.
Petersen said some workers had symptoms consistent with flu: fever and body aches, stuffy nose or congestion. Some had conjunctivitis, the eye inflammation detected in the Texas dairy worker diagnosed with bird flu.
Dr. Gregory Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, has been taking samples from livestock and people on two Texas farms. On farms with confirmed cattle infections, there have also been reports of mild illnesses among the workers, he said.
His research has been difficult. Many workers are reluctant to be tested. That may be because they have limited access to health care or fear divulging private health information.
Without confirmation, no one knows if the sick workers were infected with the bird flu virus or something unrelated, Gray said.
‘They seem to be linked in time and space, so one would say it’s biologically plausible,’ said Gray.
Some of the workers who fell ill sought treatment and were offered oseltamivir, an antiviral drug sold under the brand name Tamiflu, Petersen said.
Some farm workers who were exposed to infected animals or people were offered the medication, CDC spokesman Jason McDonald said. State health officials are responsible for evaluating and providing treatment, according to federal guidelines.
Health officials in Texas provided Tamiflu to the person known to be infected with H5N1 and household members, plus two people on a second dairy farm who tested negative but were exposed to infected animals, said Chris Van Deusen, a spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services. He said he wasn’t sure if others had been offered the antiviral meds.
Farmers have been hesitant to allow health officials onto their land, said Dr. Kay Russo, a Colorado veterinarian who consulted about the outbreak with Petersen.
‘This particular disease is looked at as a scarlet letter,’ Russo said. ‘It has this stigma associated with it right now.’
Russo called for wider testing of cattle, people and milk.
‘We do not know what we do not measure,’ she said. ‘Unfortunately, the horse left the barn and took off a lot faster than we were able to mobilize.’
Gray worries that a recent federal order requiring testing of all lactating dairy cows moving between states could hinder cooperation even further. All labs that conduct tests must report positive results to the Agriculture Department. But many farmers may simply decide against testing, hoping to outlast the outbreak, he said.
The reluctance of workers and farmers to allow testing is ‘greatly hampering’ understanding of how the virus spreads, how large the outbreak is now and how quickly it may grow, Gray said.
‘It’s a negative, very negative, effect,’ he said.
Petersen said she understands workers’ and farmers’ fears. She praised the farmers who had been willing to let her gather the first samples that confirmed the outbreak and reflected on what the results could mean.
‘You immediately think about the cows, the people that care for them and the families that have these farms,’ she said. ‘You’re thinking about the big picture, long term. Your mind starts to go down that entire path of concern.’
