Why do pigs exposed to the coronavirus not get sick?
CTV News ^ | Jan 21, 2022

Posted on 01/24/2022 4:56:16 AM PST by BusterDog

Earlier this week, samples taken from white-tailed deer in southwestern Ontario were found positive for COVID-19. And in Hong Kong, the government announced a massive cull of thousands of pet hamsters and other small animals due to worries that they could carry and transmit the virus to humans. Cats and mink are also known to carry the virus.

Unlike other animal species, however, pigs appear resistant to infection and do not transmit the virus to other animals, previous research has found.

Oh, for Pete’s sake.

There has been no human to animal transmission of CoupFlu.

If they can make you croak your critters, that says who’s boss, doesn’t it.

It’s not about public health.

CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

Because it’s a Cold not a Flu

It is actually reversed. Humans give it to the animals.

Can they transmit it back to us? Unknown.

culling is out of fear, not science

There has not been a single documented case of human to critter coof.

Not one.

Because it wasn’t engineered to infect pigs or deer.

Because the CDC and the Mainstream Media won’t admit that pigs can get COVID. Professional courtesy.

Human to animal transmission has occurred.

Animal to human has not been yet identified.


On the other hand: Isn’t it interesting the very food the Bible tells us NOT to eat is immune?

Other species of animals have their own specific coronavirus variants. Pigs probably do not have any detectable variant because part of the pig's diet is, well, dirt. Dirt contains enough Zn++ ions to effectively stop replication of the coronavirus, so the vector never gets established, plus the pig's own digestive system also allows for the production of considerable Vitamin C, a peculiarity not shared by human beings. These two factors combined tend to make the presence of any coronavirus in the pig's physiology highly unlikely.

Also the normal body temperature of a pig is something like 101.5° - 102.5° F. This would be a fever for a human being, but pigs thrive on this altered metabolism, which has the further effect of eliminating a number of pathogens that affect human beings.

Your pets can catch Covid from you, and cats appear more susceptible than dogs
The more time a cat spent with its owner, the higher the risk of infection, new research finds.

there ya’ go. Now get up to speed.

I can show you paper after paper that uses weasel wordage to suggest, infer, hypothesize transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from people to critters, all kinds of critters.

But I can’t find a paper that has shown even one case of proven transmission.

Of any variant (snort) of SARS-CoV-2.

Feline Coronavirus is NOT SARS-CoV-2, dude.

Different coronavirus.

Nobody has shown a cat with a case of the coof.

Somehow COVID-1984 went from people in Wuhan China to deer in North America.
