Why Unprecedented Bird Flu Outbreaks Are Concerning Scientists
Scientific American ^ | 5-31-22 | Brittney J. Miller

A highly infectious and deadly strain of avian influenza virus has infected tens of millions of poultry birds across Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. But scientists are particularly concerned about the unprecedented spread in wild birds — outbreaks pose a significant risk to vulnerable species, are hard to contain and increase the opportunity for the virus to spill over into people.

Since October, the H5N1 strain has caused nearly 3,000 outbreaks in poultry in dozens of countries. More than 77 million birds have been culled to curb the spread of the virus, which almost always causes severe disease or death in chickens. Another 400,000 non-poultry birds, such as wild birds, have also died in 2,600 outbreaks — twice the number reported during the last major wave, in 2016–17.

I will take this opportunity to warn about histoplasmosis. From birds and bats. Common in certain parts of the country. I had disseminated histoplasmosis and didn’t know it until I got a CT scan. Probably had it as a kid when I thought I had mono.

I had disseminated histoplasmosis

Don’t give the elites any ideas! Next thing you know…Bill Gates will be warning us about a 50% chance of All of us catching “disseminated histoplasmosis“, and forcing us to get a jab!!

"increase the opportunity for the virus to spill over into people."

Wave after wave of zoonotic diseases. Anybody thinking maybe Commie Chinese agents are intentionally perpetrating this in Western countries?

It makes you wonder what an undeclared biological war would look like.

“ They’re hoping the bird flu will cause massive food shortages …”

Don’t forget about the the African swine fever epidemic, too. The Chicoms had to kill tens of millions of hogs, and that disease is now in the Caribbean.
