Question...

Are these natural occurring bird viruses or biologically enhanced bird viruses?

When farmers asked to see the results, they are refused. I think they are just messing with the food chain.

This isn’t fresh, I watched a guy on YouTube talking about this in December. He buys his ducks from there and said it was the largest farm in US or something.

To those more knowledgeable here, is there serious risk of one of these bird flu variants mutating into one that passes easily to humans and among humans? Or is it a very low risk and something to be aware of, due diligence preparing for what ifs, etc?

This is one of many reasons RFKjr and Patel need to get to work pronto. USDA bio-labs need to be raided by the new and less corrupt FBI.

Quick! Burn all the ducks. Hire federal duck testing regulators. Issue duck testing contracts to minority run firms owned by politicians and bureaucrats. Issue duck handling and safe cooking guidelines developed in an multi-agency action plan at the USDA, NIH, CDC, and WHO.

Check with Anthony Fauci if we have some ""Duck-Pox" work being done, so we can classify and obfuscate any oversight. Begin work on "Duck-Pox" as it can be used to advance other virus research, and other purposes.

The risk occurs when someone with human flu is working with birds infected with avian flu. Then gene swapping can create a hybrid which is the most dangerous type of flu.

This is more common in China where people live in close proximity to their flocks.

Thank you for the info. I learn more here on this forum than I did from any formal education.

Sure it’s not H7N9?

I bet it is.

H7N9 was mentioned at the end of the article as another strain that has shown up in poultry. But this is only one report so I think a few more occurrences with the same diagnosis should happen before the possibility of a mistake should be dismissed.

This is all veterinary virology porn as far as I’m concerned.

Minimal human significance.

That is why I am watching this. It could be an effort to spread fear. It could be an excuse to harm the food supply. Or it could be a real threat, though I am skeptical.

Will it spread to the quacks in Washington?
