Former CDC director predicts bird flu pandemic
The Hill ^ | 06/15/2024 | LAUREN IRWIN

Posted on 06/15/2024 9:15:43 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said he predicts a bird flu pandemic will happen, it’s just a matter of when that will be.

Redfield joined NewsNation Friday to discuss the growing concern for bird flu, as the virus has been detected in dozens of cattle across the country and the World Health Organization identified the first human death in Mexico.

“I really do think it’s very likely that we will, at some time, it’s not a question of if, it’s more of a question of when we will have a bird flu pandemic,” Redfield said.

He also noted that bird flu has a “significant mortality” when it enters humans compared to COVID-19. Redfield predicts the mortality is “probably somewhere between 25 and 50 percent mortality.” NewsNation noted that the death rate for COVID was 0.6 percent.

Redfield predicts the mortality is “probably somewhere between 25 and 50 percent mortality.”

So you will be somewhere between 1/4 dead and half dead?

It’s not much of a prediction if insiders know that gain of function research is taking place to make it happen. Will this come along in time for the 2024 election?

Just ready in case Trump wins then they can cripple the country and his presidency. If they can’t rule us then there needs to be fewer of us and Trump can spend 4 years answering about his failed pandemic. That or his failed and deadly operation warp speed 1 & 2.

I don’t think these people — The Hill, their “sources” — ever heard the story of the little boy who cried “wolf.”

For better or worse, nobody is going to believe their squeaking. Now, if there is a deadly epidemic, people will demand to find out how they knew in advance. I suspect there may be criminal trials if it happens. No one will be thanking them for a warning if everyone believes they could give a warning because they created the epidemic.

Yawn

Appropriate conclusion as this comes from the CDC which has lost all credibility to issue medical advice, much less medical "alerts". The CDC is just another useless -- but clearly dangerous -- cabal of unelected bureaucrats and medical "experts" who, for the sake of your good health (if not for the preservation of your sanity and common sense), are best ignored ... completely.

Check out Novavax vaccines, they are produced in the “Ole Fashioned” way, no MRNA crap. BTW, Moderna & Pfizer still claim their crap stays in the muscle at the injection site while countless examinations of injured organs (heart, liver, etc) have revealed otherwise in both post-mortem and living tissue examinations.

a bird flu pandemic will happen, it’s just a matter of when that will be

I predict it will be in September or October, so the democrats can put "emergency" universal mail in voting in place in time for the November election.
