Here We Go: FDA Warns for Potential Bird Flu Pandemic That Could Kill One in Four Americans
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 9, 2024 | Jim Hoft

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.

The only way the could know this is if they created it and released it into the wild.

Imagine that this is a reasonable warning. This jackass and his colleagues outright lied to us multiple times about Covid. They own any excess deaths this season.

And they’re working feverishly on it to have it ready for Sept/Oct.

Whenever the left *predicts* or *warns* of about something, they’re working on it, because NOBODY can have that kind of track record in predicting the future accurately.

All ballots for the general election must be mail in ballots because of the bird pandemic. All ballots to be addressed to and delivered to the local Democratic party for sorting and counting.

Best I can do is two-forty-three to flatten the trajectory.

You wouldn’t feel that way if you were one of millions of Americans who kept backyard chickens.

Not going to comply this time. No mask, no shot, no mail-in ballot.

Yes - the election. And as our food supply is methodically destroyed by fires, explosions and regulations - they can try to halt or harness milk/dairy and beef production out of ‘fears’, they got lots of fears.

Yep- they were hyping the threat if bird flu back in the 90’s i believe it was- i remember it was around then because i was on a pretty heavy drug for cancer (but it was for another health problem, not cancer) and it was wrecking my immune system and i was gettign all kinds of lung infections- and ended up in hospital a few times- and then word of the bird flu came out and the media went nuts saying it was gonna cross species and wipe everyone out practically- I remember thinking then that ‘oh great- just what i need right now- a virus that attacks the lungs’

Have you heard, The Bird is the Word

Turns out it never did erupt like they said it would-
