It looks like the narrative is forming for “Pandemic X” to be H5N1 or H5N2 “Bird Flu”.
Which will be treated as real to keep the fear porn going.
The only way to push the bird flu hysteria narrative is the same as Covid; mislabel every illness as bird flu.
George floyd died of a massive overdose of drugs, serious heart problems, while going through covid, but according to the feckless left, they insist that he was “murdered by a racist cop”
“The patient died of sepsis caused from a combination of chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and arterial hypertension over the past 14 years.” But the feckless left who wish to instill panic in time for the elections will insist that he “died of the bird flue”
People die of human H5N1 influenza A all the time.
Thousands have died since 1997.
However. Up until now (and still, as far as I can tell), secondary infections (acquired by close and prolonged contact) have little or no potential for tertiary spread.
That’s why thousands, and not tens of millions, have died.
If the virus has undergone antigenic shift of the neuraminidase protein (N1 to N2) a change in behavior is POSSIBLE, but the current pop-up cases here and there don’t prove that a human epidemic is happening, or is even possible.
So far, only hemagglutinins 1-3 (H1, H2, H3) have exhibited a high enough affinity for humans to cause pandemics (H1N1 in 1918 and 2009, H2N2 in 1957, and H3N2 in 1968).
If bird flu doesn’t become a thing expect governments to start spreading it
