What is the proper social distance?
= = =

Do you have a Down-filled coat?

EEK, keep at least 3x6 feet from it.

Feather pillows also.

Athens, Ga. Votes democrat. Shame on them for doing gain of function. Lots of fried chicken in those necks of the woods. I wonder if any one in Athens will disclose the street address of the bio lab?!

Wait, WHAT? I was under the impression that Obama had outlawed GoF research in the US. How did this happen?

We need to insist that the birds wear masks and fly at least 6 feet apart from one another.

American chickens
This virus respects borders..who knew

Canucks and Mexicans are not genociding their chickens
Their farms are not burning down either

Strange this didn’t become a thing until Trump?

They have access to the bird flu vaccine-which is made here in the US-and has been made for a while. We just approved it here in the US, we don’t know how to give it to the chickens outside of injecting every bird (which is impossible)

Oh, and thank you FJB for killing all of the chickens.

This is just crazy to read.

Scientists are trying to make the worst happen—for what, exactly? We can't use these as weapons without killing what we also need to have alive—including ourselves. Once released, it goes throughout the world.

One can say we need to learn to be prepared. However, “we” are our only threats to ourselves, as none of these gain-of-functions can ever be proven to happen in nature. We can't know nature will make them, because we already released the version we are forcing nature to utilize.

The pangolin / bat match up for SARS-Cov-2 was one of those bizarre lab experiments. The odds this would naturally happen were incredibly remote. South Park satirized this as a human having sex with a bat and, separately, with a pangolin. It was the perfect analogy.

True, China and Russia would still do this research, but as with COVID, the first cases were all thankfully Chinese. The breaches happen only in locations of the labs, because if only happening elsewhere, they are now biologic warfare instruments, instead.

This research “need” must be revisited.

We need to make gain of function experimentation a capital offence- that’s the only way to restrain the smartest guys in the room from killing us all.

Gain of function research is a crime against humanity and a serious Global Threat. It should be deemed a crime globally and there needs to be prosecutions and asset forfeiture for anyone who plays with this concept at all.

So, who are the authors” Nicolas Hulscher, co-authored with John Leake and Peter A. McCullough” ... and how weighty or real is the publication (there are many fake “scientific journals” with bogus articles often used by the econut /Sierra Club crowd and others paid smear companies like Fenton Communications)

The Chicoms will weaponize it before long. With funding from Gates and Pfizer and the NHI.

Awareness : Is the current bird flu a result of "Gain of Function research ?
An interesting question not yet answered

(From the article) :"Back in 2022, during the early days of the “bird flu” pandemic,
I wondered if the H5N1 strain of bird flu was a gain-of-function creation."

"The reason for it was two-fold. One was the high kill ratio. While a new virus might have a high infection fatality rate,
100% fatality would only likely be achieved if the virus genetics were rearranged to target a host species."

"The second reason was that the Chinese were reportedly experimenting with the H5N1 strain.
Since 2019, we have all enjoyed the novel coronavirus they generated in their Wuhan labs."

"While I may have been right about the gain-of-function (GOF), I was wrong about the laboratory.
It turns out this frankenvirus might be a joint American and Dutch creation." (Emphasis Mine)

"And, as with China, poor biosafety practices may have been a contributing factor."

“Proximal Origin of Epidemic Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b and Spread by Migratory Waterfowl” by Nicolas Hulscher,
co-authored with John Leake and Peter A. McCullough, investigates the potential laboratory origins of the highly pathogenic avian influenza
(HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13, which has been causing outbreaks in various animal species and sporadic human infections."

"The paper was published in Poultry, Fisheries & Wildlife Sciences in November 2024.
The study suggests that this strain may have emerged from gain-of-function research conducted at two specific facilities:
the USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia, and the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands."

FlyingEagle :" Halt this gain of function research and lock up these people.
The world is in danger again from these sick scientists and the crazies who fund them.
Shut it down and raze the labs."

"The authors start by looking at HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b [which is the initial strain that has morphed into the “bird flu” that I have been covering as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenze (HPAI) since 2022]."
(The article continues...)

Yes, the bird flu has been around forever.

This refers to a specific strain of an old disease.
