Australia begins lockdowns on farms over bird flu.
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 06/12/2024 5:05:04 AM PDT by davikkm

Australia has implemented lockdowns on farms due to bird flu outbreaks. Specifically, in the state of Victoria, more than 500,000 chickens have been euthanized, and strict quarantine zones have been established to restrict the movement of birds and equipment. The highly pathogenic H7N3 strain of avian influenza has been detected on four farms, while another virus, H7N9, has been found on a fifth property over the past seven weeks. As part of sweeping biosecurity controls, at least 580,000 birds have been destroyed.

Obviously a gain of function type wuhan style release. It may be used as a twofer.

Kill off food supply or infect people.

It is probably planned to be both all rolled into one.

Right now, any Bird Flu restrictions are limited to birds. If this is another purposeful dump of viral toxins on crowded areas, except the “severity” to spike starting after Labor Day. I do not enjoy being so suspicious of governments, but after Dr. Fauci and his Magically Mysterious COVID Tour, here we are.

If it is a flu bug, it can’t be stopped. Let it rage through and create herd immunity.

We’ve not learned from the covid foolademic.

Fyi, here in GA, poultry “farms” are, per smart policy, in continuous ‘lockdown’ meaning they have for a LONG time restricted access to the properties.

For the purposes of preventing pathogens from entering or leaving.

When the ‘authorities’ prevent supplies/personnel/ waste from shipping in and out, or stop pullets and broiler from commerce, or require widespread ‘culling of the herds’ without illness present, THEN you’ll know they are trying to kill ‘us.’

Imagine if food shipments to DC/Alexandria/Georgetown were stopped by hungry proles before they could make deliveries...

Hi.

Australia didn’t learn anything from last time?

How do you quarantine birds?

And they’re doing what about wild birds?????

This is all about destroying the food supply and controlling people.

I suppose when all of the flocks are dead from HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza), they have a sort of “herd immunity.” At least, they won’t be getting sick or spreading disease any longer.

The notion that you should catch a dangerous disease in order to be immune from it in the future is ludicrous and illogical. The whole purpose of vaccination is to give you immunity BEFORE you are exposed, so that you have as much protection as possible whenever you are exposed to the real pathogen. Should you wait until after you have a car crash to start wearing your seatbelt?

Also, herd immunity refers to a situation in which enough people are vaccinated within a short enough period of time that the disease has nowhere to go to infect new people. For a disease like Covid or measles, around 95% of people need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity.

The problem with bird flu is that influenza is a very changeable virus that has additional mechanisms of mutation that are not present in other viruses. And migratory birds from Eurasia and the Americas mingle at the poles and share viruses with each other. Those viruses can reassort with each other and create all new viruses.

It is because the influenza family of viruses are so adept at creating new members of the family that our fight against influenza is always so challenging. Many researchers, many pharmaceutical and biotech companies have attempted to develop a universal influenza vaccine, but this holy grail of immunology remains elusive. So we’ll always be fighting a defensive battle against influenza.

With the bird flus, there just is not time to develop and make new vaccines. Even though we’ve streamlined the process over the last century, it still takes months. And the fact that it’s a bird flu means that it is very likely any attempts to make vaccine will just kill the embryos used to make it. Influenza vaccines are made by infecting chicken embryos that are just a few days old. If those embryos die, then no vaccine.

So, the only control measures are quarantine of at-risk flocks and euthanization of infected flocks. At least the birds won’t be inundated with antivax nonsense designed to make them behave in ways that increase their chance of catching the illness. It’s unfortunate that humans, supposedly more intelligent, are so susceptible to such quackery.

Gett8ng awful close to:

Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

Maybe australia is practicing for the end times

They are trying to destroy the poultry industry. They'll succeed, because if you don't go along and let your livelihood be destroyed, they'll kill you.

No. They plan to destroy you. Everything else they destroy is extra. Vaccinating people is less trouble than shooting them or gassing them.

Last I read, they are using the PCR test set stupidly sensitive to detect the turd flu.
