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.

Where?
The sheeple are getting a heavy media dose-injection of fear and loathing and hypochondria. Will this bird flu develop into what interrupts the 2024 election? Making mail-in ballots compulsory nationwide? Via Presidential executive orders?
Who put it there?
Scientists say cows get bird flu.
Sounds like some really confused scientists.
Great excuse to add mRNA to milk......you know....to protect the kids.
A simple course of 15 $hoots should help!
🔬🤔😳🐑🚫😷💉💊🐂💨💩
Remnants of Dr. Fauci’s evil “gain of function” experiments?
Didn’t know you could milk a bird.... ;>)
geez, if you have the ability to take in the big picture, you can see what they are trying to do.
Not a great concern to me, if WHO is promulgating this story.
They think they can try this again, to scare people into submission. F Them!.
Elves?
Where have these people been?
There's always an avian death ray or an innergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet.
It is sure to be a teenage wasteland.
The obvious solution is to turn US sovereignty over to the UN/WEF.
Dropped some whitewash in my eye
I sure am glad that cows don't fly
So how long before Obama ... I mean Biden signs the WHO Pandemic Treaty?
