Here We Go: FDA Warns for Potential Bird Flu Pandemic That Could Kill One in Four Americans

In a recent Senate Committee briefing, Dr. Robert Califf, the head of the FDA, announced proactive measures being implemented in preparation for a potential bird flu pandemic that could prove deadly to a significant portion of the infected population.

He highlighted that while the risk of transmission to humans remains low, the agency is not taking any chances, according to Daily Mail.

Dr. Califf reported that only one human case has been confirmed so far—a farm worker in Texas this past March. Despite this, the potential for the virus to mutate and spread to humans necessitates rigorous preparedness.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) previously issued a health alert after confirming the first human case of the novel avian influenza A(H5N1) in the state.

The infected individual fell ill after coming into contact with dairy cows believed to be carrying the avian flu, with conjunctivitis being the primary symptom reported. This incident marks only the second time the avian influenza A(H5N1) virus has been identified in a human in the United States.

The case is linked to recent findings of the virus in dairy cows, as announced by the Texas Animal Health Commission.

It might well have been 2005- at my age the years all blur together now lol. Infact it probsbly was beczuse we moved shortly after I came off the medications- and we didn’t move until the early 2000’s, and i remember talking with a neighbor about the bird flu about 5 years before he died, which puS it right around that time. He infact died of flu that hit his lungs bad- last thing I saw was him being wheeled off in ambulance struggling to breathe. But there was a bad flu going around at that time, which I caught not long after- knocked the stuffing out of me. But it definitely wasn’t bird flu-

that whole,deal wiH bird flu was a preamble tO covid “pandemic”- the liberals just werent quite “brave” enougH tO pull it off back then. Oblamas term though set he ball in motion and Hey quickly learned that the media would back them up no matter what and that Hey could ignore the same laws that Hey expected conservatives tO follow tO the letter. Oblama emboldened the left to declare jihad on the nation, and they did, and got away with one of the biggest scams ever. I should say 2 of the biggest, as they got away with election fraud too shortly after.

Now the left know that they are newrly Impervious tO the law because they control all the power, in they control cops, judges, courts, juries (they go away with jury intimidation in ,the Chauvin case), tEy control blm, antifa, fbi, the military (who conspired agaisnt Trump when he was commander in chief), and they control the msm, social media, the internet etc.

Obiden has been emboldened even to ignore Supreme Court rulingS, as have many of the left.

Why? Because the left learned that the righT has no power. Our Govenrment has gone rogue and the right have hardly any means to stop them- not even the Supreme Court can stop them. The left just thumb their noses at the SC.

Imagine if the right had all that power and wasn’t so self destructive- this nation would be a much much better nation

Well, it’s true.

A human-adapted H5N1 influenza A virus could kill a lot of people. But this has been true since the isolation of A/H5N1/1997Hanoi and has been discussed endlessly at conferences since then.

But species cross by viruses usually results in less, not more, harm (HIV and herpes B are exceptions).

The fact that H5N1 remains lethal to birds but not to mammals (so far) is quite reassuring.
