First Case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Detected in Wild Bobcat in California
KSBW ^ | Feb 17, 2023 | Josh Copitch

Posted on 02/19/2023 1:51:11 PM PST by nickcarraway

California wildlife experts recently confirmed that an adult bobcat died from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1, marking the first detection of the virus in a wild mammal in the state. The bobcat's remains were collected in Butte County and tested for the disease. It was wearing a GPS collar as part of a study by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The HPAI H5N1 virus was first detected in wild birds in California last year and has since been found in birds from 44 counties and domestic birds from 18 counties. Waterfowl and domestic poultry are especially vulnerable to the disease.

Advertisement Although the Centers for Disease Control considers the risk of transmission to people to be low, they recommend basic protective measures if contact with wildlife cannot be avoided. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife advises against handling or housing sick wildlife and encourages people to report dead wildlife using their mortality reporting form.

The Wildlife Health Laboratory will continue to monitor wildlife and investigate mortality events. To stay informed about the situation, please visit the CDFW website or contact your local CDFW Regional Office or animal control service.

This is another weaponized virus compliment of the USFDA.

Bob cat probably ate a bird they flew all the way across the Pacific ocean.

Or…

Those Chinese balloons were seeding the air with various virus.
I’m serious.

Maybe some of the illegal aliens have the infection and are spreading it across the Country since they are unvetted and un vaxed.

Is another emergency use, no liability mRNA vaccine soon to be offered, if not mandated?

There is no liability for any vaccine in the U.S.?

This, like COVID, is happening right after a simulation like:

The Event 201 scenario

Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms. The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly in healthcare settings. When it starts to spread efficiently from person to person in the low-income, densely packed neighborhoods of some of the megacities in South America, the epidemic explodes. It is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control. There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first year. There is a fictional antiviral drug that can help the sick but not significantly limit spread of the disease. Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe. The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.

Drug companies were granted exemption from prosecution and civil liability because their untested mRNA Covid vaccines & boosters were granted Emergency Use Authorization.

That is disinformation. A law was passed in 1985 that the public can’t sue companies over vaccines.

This is big with regard to evacuation for disasters and emergencies. Essentially, we are not supposed to move birds, particularly across county lines under any circumstance to include disasters and emergencies.

Just great, just in time for another plandemic prior to the occupier of the WH to surrender authority to the WHO in May. Lockdowns and poisonous jabs.

If only those birds had worn their masks or gotten the recommended vaccinations, this would not have happened. /s
