Historical concerns about the lethality of bird flu to humans have consistently proven unfounded, with no recorded deaths in the US from such outbreaks, despite significant government spending and public warnings in the past.
Recent discussions around “global biosecurity” and the potential for disease outbreaks to foster a totalitarian world government have intensified. A weaponised bird flu could be the next major threat.
Recent cases of bird flu affecting various mammals, including livestock and pets, suggest the virus may be adapting to new hosts, raising alarms about its potential impact on humans.
In March 2024, the first case of bird flu in livestock was found in a goat in Minnesota. That same month, infected cows were identified in Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Idaho and Michigan. Three cats have also reportedly died from H5N1 infection, and one individual who came into close contact with infected cows has tested positive after presenting with conjunctivitis (pink eye).
Current countermeasures against bird flu, such as culling infected and exposed animals, hinder the development of natural immunity. Smaller flock sizes and better management would also reduce the disease risk.
Scientists Warn Bird Flu Outbreak Could Be 100 Times Worse than Covid

So far, every instance of fearmongering about the possibility of a lethal bird flu has turned out to be false. That’s why I wrote my New York Times best-selling book ‘The Great Bird Flu Hoax’, 15 years ago in 2009. Four years earlier, in 2005, then-President George Bush spent over $7 billion on preparations and warned that more than 2 million Americans could die.1
The reality is that no one in the US died from bird flu. Not one. Annual outbreaks of bird flu were also recorded and hyped between 2014 and 2017, again with no human victims.2
Fast-forward a couple of decades, and “global biosecurity” has become one of the primary tactics chosen to usher in a totalitarian One World Government. Covid-19 was just the warm-up. I’ve repeatedly stated that more outbreaks, be they real or imagined, are to be expected for that very reason. The only question, really, is which pathogen it will be.
Is Weaponised Bird Flu Next?
In the spring of 2022, Bill Gates warned that another pandemic will emerge and that this yet-to-come pandemic “will get attention this time.”3 Based on the news chatter emerging right now, a weaponised bird flu seems a possibility.
According to virologists speaking at a White House briefing, the bird flu (“H5N1”) has mutated to “spread more easily among mammals,” and an outbreak in the human population could be “100 times worse than covid,” killing up to half of those infected.4 As reported by MSN on April 3, 2024:5
Multiple cases of the infection in a variety of mammals, including cows, cats and, more recently, humans, are all raising the risk of the virus mutating to become more transmissible …
But others at the briefing said it was too early to panic because there were still too many unknowns about recent cases to warrant sounding the alarm. A White House representative said today it was tracking bird flu in the US.
A graphic by the Daily Mail purporting to illustrate how bird flu is “edging closer to human spillover” lists the following cases:6
- Mammals infected with bird flu since 2022 include fox, bobcat, striped skunk, racoon and coyote.
- In March 2024, the first case of bird flu in livestock was found in a goat in Stevens County, Minnesota.
- In March 2024, bird flu also sickened cow herds at two dairy farms in Kansas, three dairy farms in the Panhandle, Texas, and one in New Mexico. Unpasteurised milk samples from the sick cows also tested positive for the pathogen. According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, bird flu has also been detected in dairy herds in Idaho7 and Michigan.8
According to reports,9 the bird flu strain transmitted between the cows is a new strain, “which signifies the virus could be adapting to mammalian (as opposed to avian) hosts,” MSN writes.10 Incidentally, one of the biggest changes to the H5N1 virus occurred in 2020, when the wild and domestic versions combined to create a new strain.11
- In April 2024, bird flu reportedly killed three cats in Texas.
By late December 2023, hundreds of elephant seals in Antarctica were also found to have perished from the infection12 and mink farms across Europe were decimated that same year.13 Well over half a million seabirds have also perished from the virus, according to some estimates.14
Current Bird Flu Countermeasures Are the Wrong Approach
In early April 2024, the largest egg producer in the US, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., also halted egg production at a Texas facility after bird flu was detected there. According to a company announcement, 1.6 million egg-laying hens were killed as a precaution, along with 337,000 pullets (3.6% of the total flock).15
But by culling animals whenever a case is detected basically guarantees that natural immunity will never develop. A far saner strategy would be to eliminate the chickens that die from the infection but keep those who survive it alive. An interesting article by regenerative farmer Joel Salatin, in which he discusses the bird flu cycle, was published by Brownstone Institute in mid-March 2023:16
If thinking people learned only one thing from the covid pandemic, it was that official government narratives are politically slanted and often untrue. In this latest HPAI [highly pathogenic avian influenza] outbreak, perhaps the most egregious departure from truth is the notion that the birds have died as a result of the disease and that euthanasia for survivors is the best and only option …
To be sure, HPAI is and can be deadly, but it never kills everything. The policy of mass extermination without regard to immunity, without even researching why some birds flourish while all around are dying, is insane. The most fundamental principles of animal husbandry and breeding demand that farmers select for healthy immune systems. We farmers have been doing that for millennia …
But in its wisdom, the US Department of Agriculture … has no interest in selecting, protecting, and then propagating the healthy survivors. The policy is clear and simple: kill everything that ever contacted the diseased birds. The second part of the policy is also simple: find a vaccine to stop HPAI …
The scorched earth policy is the only option even though it doesn’t seem to be working. In fact, the cycles are coming faster and seem to be affecting more birds. Someone ought to question the efficacy.
Bird Flu Solutions That Make Sense
As noted by Salatin, it’s well-recognised among farmers that cramped quarters and having too many chicken farms too close together, geographically, is the problem. “The USDA and the industry desperately want to blame wild birds, backyard flocks, and dirty shoes rather than looking in the mirror and realising this is nature’s way of screaming ‘Enough!'” Salatin writes.
