The World Health Organization voiced alarm Thursday at the growing spread of H5N1 bird flu to new species, including humans, who face an “extraordinarily high” mortality rate.
“This remains I think an enormous concern,” the UN health agency’s chief scientist Jeremy Farrar told reporters in Geneva.
The current bird flu outbreak began in 2020 and has led to the deaths of tens of millions of poultry, with wild birds also infected as well as land and marine mammals.
Cows and goats joined the list last month — a surprising development for experts because they were not thought susceptible to this type of influenza.
The A (H5N1) strain has become “a global zoonotic animal pandemic”, Farrar said.
“The great concern of course is that in… infecting ducks and chickens and then increasingly mammals, that virus now evolves and develops the ability to infect humans and then critically the ability to go from human to human.”
So far, there is no evidence that the influenza A(H5N1) virus is spreading between humans.

And slaughtering all the cows and goats. Fauci ordered me to.
Enormous concern.... That it won’t happen, despite all the money they, Fauci and Gates spent weaponizing it.
“Cows and goats joined the list last month.”
Because they purposely tweaked the disease.
No longer can we say that they can’t or that they wouldn’t.
They will do anything to reduce population including forcing us to kill all sources of meat.
How do we even know if the bird flu is actually transmitted to humans? Are we supposaed to believe WHO or Fauci or the Democrats? F’em...
H5N1 has a 50% mortality rate in humans. So far no transmission between humans but a few have caught it from their livestock. Much scarier than covid. I still wouldn’t trust an mRNA vax. I will just barricade myself in my house and get my food delivered should it come to that.
“Fauci and Gates spent weaponizing it.”
Yep, absolutely.
Ding! One more nothing burger up.
Get your 15 shots right away! 🚫💉🖕
Can . . . um . . . grasshoppers get infected with the bird flu?
Lock down lock down and don’t forget your bacteria laden masks. All voting in general election will be by mail, a demon brat will collect them and count them. Biden 800,000,000 trump 0
When you understand that the most important crisis is climate change, and the main causes of climate change is humans, you’ll understand they want you dead. So what if a few of their supporters get sick and die. They’re targeting the sick,and old. They are a strain on resources. The wealthy and connected have their antidote.
A 20 year friend of mine sister works for USAMRID we were talking about this with her the other day at a BBQ social. They and CDC Atlanta already Have H5 antibodies and the protein sequences of the whole clade of H5Nx avian influenza virus it has been expected it would eventually jump to humans and human to human no need for MRNA conventional flu vaccine is easy to make and with the H5 antibodies on hand all you need is chicken eggs or growth medium to.churn out vast amounts of conventional flu vaccine targeting the whole H5 clade. When not if H5N1 goes human to human they will has a produce it. H5N1 has a 50 to 80% mortality rate in humans it’s the stuff of apocalyptic movies. If one wants to face a 50% death rate on natural immunity more power too them but flu is well understood and easy to make vaccines for.
USAMRID and CDC already have the while clade of H5 antibodies produced and sequenced that’s all you need for a conventional flu vaccine targeting the whole clade of the H5 avian influenza virus. This is public knowledge all be it one would need to dig a little for it. No need to panic when H5N1 evolves the ability to jump human to human it will be weeks or months to ramp up a conventional flu vaccine for it and existing flu antiviral drugs show strong response to H5xx. Have your doctor prescribe you tamflu it’s like 80% effective against avian strains knocks the 50 in 100 deaths expected to 10 in 100 not bad odds if you are not overweight,old,diabetic,metabolic syndrome or an alcoholic those odds improve drastically.
The timing is right. They must promote hysteria before the November election
Regarding the efficacy of Tamiflu at reducing mortality due to various influenzas, the research is not at all consistent. Studies show modest, weak, or no effect. Its ability to reduce symptom intensity and complications is more generally accepted.
Well that’s good to hear that they might make a conventional vaccine. I’m kinda leery of all vaccines these days. But with that sort of mortality rate I’d probably consider at least a conventional vaccine. I’ve heard though that if this avian flu became transmissible to readily infect humans chances are it would become less deadly by that point. I’ll play it by ear and check the research before I do anything.
I agree. No coincidence. Fear mongering before the election.
Screw the CDC. It’s a democrat propaganda arm. They don’t mention all of diseases we are more likely to get from illegal aliens.
“with wild birds also infected”
ill-eagles?
So far in the states I have heard of one human case from a cow. And that might be complete BS in it’s self.
