Dangerous possibility of mutation of H5N1 and person to person transmissibility during 2025 flu season
ed note–before the usual horde of self-appointed virologists, biologists and know-everything ‘experts’ begin their chirping within the comments section about this being ‘hyped’, a ‘hoax’ and a ‘plandemic’, consider a few important items.
Covid 19 was hyped, for the most part a ‘hoax’, and certainly ‘planned’, ergo a ‘plandemic’, and it completely upended the world, led to global chaos, and for all intents and purposes made possible the kinds of political instability that afforded the enemies of POTUS Donald J. Trump the opportunity they were seeking with the creation and release of this virus–the theft of the 2020 election.
Now, 4 years later, the danger of lockdowns, forced vaccinations, social distancing and all the other implements that were used last time in upending all human activity are not likely to be enforced this time, and particularly not with both houses of Congress and the White House being held by Republicans…
However this means NOTHING if this time the virus truly is a deadly threat, and yes, H5N1, if it mutates, which viruses are biologically programmed to do (that is how they remain alive) then what the world is quite likely facing is truly something approaching an ‘NELE’, or Near Extinction Level Event, given that past examples of humans coming down with H5N1 resulted in 50% and higher mortality rates.
Trump has said more times than can be counted that it is his mission to pull the plug on WWIII/Armageddon, while at the same time, this guy–
–has made Kristol clear that it is his mission to see WWIII/Armageddon reach the level which his insane, Apocalyptic religion commands take place, and therefore, the obvious question that all Gentiles with a vested interest in their own future survival need to ask for themselves is the following–
Is this new strain of H5N1 another bioweapons-lab concocted ‘solution’ jinned up to prevent Trump from moving forward with his plans of pulling the plug on the same WWIII/Armageddon which Netanyahu and the Pirates of Judea are intent upon seeing take place as part of the 3,000 year old plan of creating ‘Greater Israel’, and if this is the case, when we consider all the global disruption that occurred as a result of a mere 1% mortality rate from COVID 19, what happens then with a virus whose mortality rate is higher than 50%?
On Tuesday, the first death of a human bird flu patient was reported in Louisiana. The patient was over the age of 65 and had underlying medical conditions, according to health officials.
The CDC says as of this moment that there is currently no evidence of human-to-human transmission and the risk to the general public is low, however, public health experts say they are worried the virus could mutate and become more transmissible, amplifying the need to ramp up testing and to stockpile vaccines.
Dr. Tony Moody, a professor of pediatrics and infectious diseases specialist at Duke University, said the fact that cases have yet to pass from human to human is ‘both reassuring, but not completely reassuring.’
He told ABC News, ‘What we’re concerned about is that, eventually, we might get a variation of this strain that could pass from person to person. That’s really what we’re going to need to see, I think, to get substantial human cases and the potential for a new pandemic strain.’
He added, ‘So, in terms of peering into the crystal ball for 2025…I think the concern is whether or not we’re going to see something change that will turn it into a pandemic strain that could then really be a problem,’ he added.
One fear experts have is that the virus will continue to mutate in a way that will cause more human-to-human transmissibility. The experts say that every new human case of bird flu allows the virus an opportunity to mutate.
Recent CDC data found mutations in samples of bird flu collected from the Louisiana patient. What’s more, the mutations were not found in poultry samples collected on the patient’s property, suggesting the changes appeared after the patient became infected.
Moody said that because the virus has not yet mutated in a way to spread more easily between humans, he’s not sure if or when it will happen.
‘Given the number of cows that have been infected, the number of birds that have been infected and the fact that the virus essentially mutates every time it replicates, I’m kind of surprised that the mutations that they’re talking about haven’t happened yet,’ he said.
Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said he believes there is a more likely scenario of the virus becoming more transmissible: an individual getting infected with bird flu and seasonal influenza at the same time.
He said this could lead to the virus ‘reassorting’ to produce a hybrid, or recombinant, virus that could then transmit more easily from person to person.
‘Everyone’s focusing on the potential for mutation and that is a serious concern,’ he told ABC News. ‘The greater probability is that there could be a reassortment that could ignite the pandemic or an epidemic.’
Different genotypes, or genetic makeup of the virus, means there could more severe cases.
‘What we’ve seen with bird flu in the United States is that the particular genotype that’s associated with dairy cows has primarily caused more mild disease in people,’ Dr. Meghan Davis, an associate professor of environmental health and engineering at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told ABC News.
‘But what we’ve seen with the case in Louisiana is caused by a different genotype, one that has been circulating in the wild birds, and these are much more severe cases,’ she continued. ‘This highlights the ability of avian influenzas to cause a wide variety of disease … and I think it is possible that we’re going to see that moving forward.’
The U.S. has begun ramping up testing with the U.S. Department of Agriculture issuing a federal order for raw milk samples nationwide to be collected and tested and the Food and Drug Administration announcing it is collecting samples of aged raw cow’s milk cheese to be tested.
However, for 2025, Hotez said he believes testing needs to be made more readily available to physicians, especially during flu season.
He said there are likely cases of bird flu going undiagnosed, and testing made more available in healthcare settings would catch those flying under the radar.
‘I think one of the problems that we have, especially as we move into influenza season, there’s the risk that, if you’re a physician, if they want to do influenza testing, they’re only really testing for the usual seasonal influenza, they’re not testing for bird flu,’ he said. ‘Otherwise, we’re never going to fully know the actual extent of the problem.’
Stockpiling bird flu vaccines
In early July, the U.S. government awarded Moderna $176 million to develop and test a bird flu vaccine using mRNA technology, which is the same technology used for the COVID vaccine.
In October, federal health officials announced they were providing $72 million to vaccine manufacturers to help ensure currently available bird flu vaccines are ready to use, if needed.
There are currently no recommendations for anyone in the U.S. to be vaccinated against bird flu, but experts say that could change if the virus becomes more transmissible.
Moody said clinical trials for new vaccines are being conducted and there are already bird flu vaccines in a stockpile maintained by the U.S. government that have previously been licensed by the FDA.
However, these three vaccines were formulated to protect against older strains of bird flu so there are questions about their protectiveness.
‘One of the difficulties in making a stockpile is that you’re trying to predict the future. Picking which influenza is going to be a problem is always the difficult bit,’ Moody said. ‘So, I think that those vaccines that are in the stockpile, based on the data that I’ve seen, have a pretty good chance of being helpful. Whether or not they’ll be the answer is a tougher question to address.’
He said the U.S. is in a better position currently to address bird flu if it becomes an epidemic or pandemic than the country was to address COVID in 2020.
‘We know how to do this. We know how to make these vaccines. We know how to get everything rolled out, and so I think we are in a better position today,’ Moody said.
Post-WWII spreading of pathogens in the atmosphere set a precedent for biological warfare.
I would have hoped the article would cover methods of spreading engineered bioweapons—such as chemtrails.
It’s way past time to address (stop) the spraying of the sky.
ed note–The ‘methods of spreading engineered bioweapons’ including the use of ‘chemtrails’ is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to the story. The part on which people need to focus their attention are the POLITICAL reasons that an entity such as Israel would have for doing something like this and why it is of vital importance that people NOT allow themselves to get bogged down in pointless discussions about chemtrails or any other distraction that takes our focus away from where it needs to be.
Good grief, did the previous commenter NOT read the ed note commentary or is he so fixated on the chemtrail issue that the more important points were totally overlooked?
If this is indicative of the average person’s thought processes with regards to the heavy issues we are all facing these days, then we are just plain SCREWED.
ed note–I don’t know if they read the ed notes or not, but even if they did, it doesn’t matter. For someone to bring something as irrelevant as chemtrails up in the midst of what could very well be a plague engineered for global, geo-political purposes indicates someone with no capacity for seeing the bigger picture.
And yes, I must agree with you as well that, judging from the quantity and quality of the kinds of political discussions taking place out there these days, and especially on the topic of H5N1, that the comments on chemtrails are ‘indicative’ and therefore, yes, as you stated, we are screwed.
Deferring to Dr. Hotez is laughable. This pos was one of the biggest lying grifters pushing the toxic clot shots
ed note–ONCE AGAIN, SURPRISE SURPRISE, YOU ARE MISSING THE FREAKING POINT…
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO GETS ‘QUOTED’ IN THE STORY. IT COULD BE FAUCI, AND IT WOULD NOT MATTER.
THE QUESTION IS–AND WE’LL KEEP IT IN CAPS SO THAT IN THE EVENT YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM SOME SORT OF VISION PROBLEMS YOU’LL STILL BE ABLE TO READ IT CLEARLY–IS WHETHER OR NOT THIS H5N1 IS A BIOWEAPON DEVELOPED BY ISRAEL IN ORDER TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM ACHIEVING HIS GOALS OF PREVENTING WWIII.
That is the question, not ‘who’ is being quoted for the story.
i’m relatively new to this site, having only found it on Mike Rivero’s WRH, but am a well seasoned vet when it comes to understanding how much a day late and a dollar short most self-professed activists are when it comes to keeping their eye on the ball.
the ed note is correct–what matters is not chem trails or which virologist is quoted in the story above, but whether or not the current spike of H5N1 portends the worst and whether it is indeed a deliberate BW cooked up to cause massive global instability at the very moment when Trump is set to take the reins of power.
And yes, I identify and sympathize with the editor’s frustration at how easily distracted people are and how they miss the bigger picture. Indeed, the future does not bode well in terms of defeating the nwo.
