Bird flu virus now found in milk, is of “great concern” to WHO

A recent statement from the World Health Organization (WHO) is sure to ruffle a few feathers.

The international health group expressed “great concern” over the rising number of bird flu cases in humans. The organization also announced Friday that the virus has been found in raw milk.

Dr. Jeremy Farrar, chief scientist at the WHO, noted that the avian flu, also called H5N1, had an “extremely high” mortality rate among those who had been infected around the world.

“The great concern, of course, is that … [the] virus now evolves and develops the ability to infect humans. And then critically, the ability to go from human-to-human transmission,” Farrar warned.

On Friday, the WHO further warned that the virus has been found in raw milk. Officials said that drinking pasteurized milk — which is the kind sold throughout the US in grocery stores — is still safe. Dairy farmers in the US are also required to destroy milk from infected cows, so it should not make its way into the food supply chain in the first place.

Dr. Wenqing Zhang, who leads the WHO’s global flu program, said that the virus had been identified in a “very high virus concentration in raw milk” from infected cows, according to the Daily Mail. Researchers are still trying to determine how long the virus might be able to survive in milk.

In general, drinking raw milk is always a bad idea, as raw milk can carry other contaminants, like salmonella, listeria, and E. coli — all of which can make you sick.

To paraphrase a Dolly Parton song, “here they come again”.

Sounds like some really confused scientists.

Hey, girls will be boys and boys will be girls it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola, La-la-la-la Lola

Lol

[JimRed]

Arrrgh! Must have mail in ballots!

[absalom01]

Well this is a weird conincidence, given the current efforts to shut down/harass raw milk producers, the most currently famous being the Pennsylvania Amish farmer Amos Miller.

[MeanWestTexan]

The cow’s identify as birds.

They’re very brave.

[JimRed]

You forgot the < /sarc > tag!

[Carriage Hill]

And if your suicidal, you can also milk a bull...

[mikelets456]

Let me guess, they also found “bird flu” remnants in beef, pork, ice cream and Maga hats.

[metmom]

The human race has survived a long time drinking raw milk.

[PAR35]

Bird flu from cow’s milk? But they can’t admit that you can get bat flu from Wuhan.

[moovova]

Sounds like Dr. Wenqing is winging it.

[PAR35]

Well I personally think the government should confiscate and nationalize all farming and the entire food production process.

Don't forget step 2 - destroy the middle class and kill all the Kulaks.

[mykroar]

They’ve got 6.5 months to get the ballot excuses ready.

[OKSooner]

Be very afraid.

[butlerweave]

Did these scientists(LOL) find Bird Flu in birds yet ?

[Blurb2350]

The dirty little secret is that cows in large operations are fed filthy “poultry litter” as a money-saver. This has been outlawed throughout Europe.

[Leep]

I stay at least 10 ft. away from birds. Plus I don’t drink their milk.

[rurgan]

I said it during the corona hoax in 2020

All these are just media lies .

The media and gov workers are pure evil marxist communist and socialists . Covid = communism. Covid was just another flu or common cold

[Noumenon]

Nah, they’re not trying to kill us.
