60 Percent of Deer Tested in Michigan Have Been Exposed to SARS-CoV-2
Newsweek via msn ^ | 30 Jul 2021 | Anabelle Doliner

Posted on 07/31/2021 1:18:21 AM PDT by blueplum

New data from the United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] suggests that white-tailed deer across certain U.S. states have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The news comes as scientists attempt to learn more about how the virus affects different species of mammals, in addition to humans.

The agency added in its report that while "antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 33 percent of the 481 samples collected from January 2020 through 2021," none of the deer showed any signs of illness associated with the virus or COVID-19. Additionally, they noted the study was only intended to "to determine exposure of deer to SARS-CoV-2 in their natural environment"—not to determine whether or not deer are "replicating and shedding SARS-CoV-2" within their own populations....

I’m wondering if the same holds true
for waterfowl. I’ve hunted ducks, geese
and crane for many years. And consumed
every darned one of them.
There has been, of course, the
yearly mule deer and pronghorn
thrown in. Are these fear mongers
taking a stab at hunters now?

In related news, Pepe the Frog has died of Covid.

His last words were:
"It is real, not a hoax, get your shots."

I you can get that from any food. Shows us how fraudulent the PCR tests are.

You turn up the PCR and anything is positive. The PCR inventor said it should never be over 17. The CDC recommended 36 during the Summer, and now they want it up to 45. Which is 97% positives for everything tested. It is so fake.

Now they are trying to go after meat.

But the question is, are the deer masking up and social distancing?

Are lockdowns next?

I'm just sayin'.....

Once again, nature has shown that there has been natural racoon adaptation to progressive ideology.

Thats why Nancy Pelosi feels the power!

Now my Irish setter has taken to wearing a mask. The crazy ba$tard thinks he is going to get an ice cream sandwich for being a good boy.

Now that dog won't hunt.I blame the CDC.

No, Laz, it’s not you. This is beyond asinine. COVID is a coronavirus. It’s a ubiquitous type of microbe. I’d bet my paycheck that they’re not even testing the actual virus subtype, just for antibodies. Could be MERS. Could be and older SARS, but dagnabbit, everything’s got it. Almost makes you wonder if fighting it is worth any effort?

The obvious solution is to lock down all the deer.

That’s scary stuff. Just a group of deer dropped over in a field.
The concern was if you eat them, can the prions make you sick.

Negligence in masking, lack of social distancing, and vaxxing hesitancy to blame, no doubt!

The USA is ALREADY successfully terrorized.

This is just setting the hook, so to speak.
