Avian flu crosses species, infecting cats and cattle in Texas and Kansas
News Medical Life Sciences. ^ | 5/1/24 | Dr. Chinta Sidharthan

In a recent study published in the United States (U.S.) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Emerging Infectious Disease Journal, a team of scientists reported the spread of the highly pathogenic hemagglutinin 5 neuraminidase 1 (H5N1) avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4b among cats and dairy cattle in the states of Texas and Kansas.

The highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses have long been a threat to poultry and wild bird populations worldwide. They have also been a cause for concern in recent years because of their ability to infect various mammalian species. North America experienced an outbreak of the Eurasian strain clade 2.3.4.4b of the H5N1 virus that has continued into this year, with multiple spillover events reported among marine and terrestrial mammals.

The current avian influenza outbreak also poses more serious concerns since the clade has also been detected in severe cases of infections among humans in Chile and Ecuador. Recent reports from northern Texas, northeastern New Mexico, and southwestern Kansas reported a disease among dairy cattle that affected the quality and appearance of milk for a duration of approximately two weeks. Incidents of death were also reported from these states among domestic cats and wild birds, indicating a potential spillover of the avian influenza virus into cats and cattle.

Well,...that is part of the problem. They really burned the bridge in 2020.

So, what are we to “believe.”

I just think it is a good idea to be aware of events.

Perhaps they are rolling out the second part of their binary bio-weapon to depopulate the Earth (the spike-protein mutagen that damaged the immune system was the first part).

The economy will demand we all euthanize our pets to avoid the avian flu.

Nope! We’re still suffering from the jab that thank God I didn’t take.

Well. Every dollar spent on pet care of any kind is a dollar that cannot be taken from us and given to illegal aliens.

Oh, wait. They will take the money from us anyway to give to illegal aliens whether we spend it on pets or not. What am I saying?

The greeniacs are already going after pets as causing climate change. This will be the perfect excuse for them to exterminate all pets starting with cats.

I suspect the CDC actually funded the creation of the virus with Fauci’s help. Fauci is a menace to society.

Not me.

What I see in this developing situation is that they are trying REALLY, REALLY hard to set up the mentality that this is going to be the next deadly pandemic. I'm sure they're working feverishly on gain of function to make it as deadly as they are *concerned* and warning us that it's going to be.

Vaccines for cats and cattle. New money for the pharmaceutical industry.

Watch for spike proteins spreading to humans too.

We need to go all Medieval and kill all the cats.

Killing cats was the perfect solution to the rat flea transmitted Plague!

To a liberal, maybe...
