Bird Flu Is a Rerun of the Covid Playbook

Bird flu can be very confusing. This is true because, as is so often the case with our government, those who claim to be trying to solve the problem – our so-called “public health” and “pandemic preparedness” “experts” – are actually the ones who created the problem. What is worse, they are actively seeking to perpetuate it.

In this brief article, my goal is to explain what is happening with H5N1 Bird flu in the clearest, most fundamental terms. I hope to make it so clear that all our elected officials can understand what is going on, and therefore can take action to stop it.

The key to understanding the current Bird flu panic is this: Bird flu is a complete rerun of the Covid script. There is just one twist:

Last time, with Covid, the pandemic-planning bioterrorists directly blackmailed us by taking away our civil rights, in order to coerce us to accept their unsafe and ineffective vaccines. 

This time, with Bird flu, the pandemic planning bioterrorists are indirectly blackmailing us by targeting our food, in order to coerce us to accept more of their unsafe and ineffective vaccines into our food supply and those who supply it.

Here is their playbook. Learn it, and you can understand how to put an end to it.

Grocery Chains Ration Eggs After Mass Chicken Slaughter For Bird Flu

The Democrats have been running the “what about egg prices?” line of attack against Trump hot and heavy lately, making the argument that egg prices are still astronomical and growing despite Trump promising to bring them down and having a full three weeks to reverse five years of economic sabotage by his predecessor.

What they conveniently leave out of the egg price narrative is that the Public Health™ authorities have been busy slaughtering poultry by the hundreds of millions for at least three years now.

Via CBS News (emphasis added):

Whether it’s ducks or chickens, since the current strain of bird flu, H5N1, reached the United States in 2022, over 148 million birds have been ordered euthanized. 

“It’s a staggering number, there is no doubt,” said Jodie Guest, a professor of epidemiology with Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta. “But it is, and always has been a policy across administrations, with the USDA, that this is how they handle infections like this among poultry. And as we’ve seen bird flu move [across] species, it becomes even more important to try to contain that infection in the flocks that it’s in, so that we don’t continue to see spread.”

Now major grocers have begun limiting egg purchases due to these shortages.

Look at the deceptive framing by even allegedly conservative Fox Business.

Via Fox Business (emphasis added):

Costco, Kroger and Whole Foods are among the growing list of grocers that are putting a purchasing limit on eggs as supply shortages persist. 

Companies started imposing limits on the product as the shortage caused by outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)*, or bird flu, persists, causing a frenzy among shoppers. Droves of viral videos have surfaced in recent weeks, showing shoppers stockpiling eggs. One video posted on TikTok claimed that an entire section of eggs at a Costco was gone in less than 10 minutes.

Amazon-owned Whole Foods posted signs on its shelves notifying customers that customers can only buy three cartons of eggs at one time. 

“We are currently experiencing difficulty sourcing eggs that meet our strict animal welfare standards,” a sign posted at one of its stores in New York City read.

*It wasn’t bird flu that killed hundreds of millions of chickens — it was the Public Health™ response to the alleged bird flu positives (scared up through inaccurate and often fraudulent PCR testing). This is the exact same scam they ran with COVID: lock everyone down, destroy the economy and society, and blame a virus instead of draconian government policy.

A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Bird Flu

Here we go again.
 

There has been a certain amount of news around about an outbreak of an H5N1 influenza. It’s gotten the name “bird flu” because it’s widespread in wild birds, and it’s been running wild through domestic chickens. You may have noticed egg prices. They’re not dying because the bird flu is killing them. Instead the Department of Agriculture is killing them so the bird flu won’t kill them, leading to almost 140 million birds being culled in the last year.

So, failing any other message from this article, let me say:

DON’T PANIC

(Seriously, is there a friendlier font than Comic Sans?)

Of course, not everyone has taken that advice. Governor Gavin Newsom in California has already declared an emergency, and FACT, a humane farming advocacy group, says we need “urgent action to prevent a public health crisis“.

So what is this all about?

This bird flu, or more formally avian flu, is an H5N1 influenza virus. The “H5N1” refers to specific surface proteins that affect how the virus can invade and infect cells. (Grok has a nice summary.) Basically it’s like telling you a person has blue eyes and brown hair — it’s just a description of the virus and how it interacts.
What we do know is that this particular variant of the H5N1 virus subtype — I’m just going to call it H5N1 from now on — primarily infects birds. Now a whole lot of my reporting on Covid in 2020 actually applies here, so I’m going to link you back for the details, but the high points are:

  • it’s an influenza virus. It’s the flu.
  • it’s reasonably transmissible, with an R0 of about 2.8 — worse than most flu but similar to the 1918 “Spanish” flu, comparable to Covid, not nearly as transmissible as polio or measles. (You can look back at this article for a more complete description, but basically R0 is how many people are likely to catch a virus from one subject with the virus.)

Egg Prices Catapult Into ‘Blue-Sky Breakout’ As Bird Flu Sparks Worsening Shortage

An ongoing and devastating avian influenza outbreak has severely dented the nation’s egg-producing hen population, driving wholesale prices into record-high territory and far surpassing the price explosion seen a few years ago when the bird flu first emerged. This is an alarming trend, and egg prices at the supermarket will likely rise further in the weeks and months ahead.

The latest wholesale data from Urner Barry shows that the price for a dozen eggs has jumped to a record high of $5.4, exceeding the previous peak of $4.65 set in December 2022. Rising wholesale prices are expected to continue pressuring supermarket prices higher.

Bioterror Roundup: Biden’s $300 Million Bird Flu Bonanza and SV40 News

Biden awards hundreds of millions for bird flu tests, ‘research into potential medical countermeasures’

Lady Dr. Jill (not a real doctor) or Antony Blinken or some disembodied Oz-type voice on the White House intercom system or whoever runs the shitshow over there has heard the pleas from CCP bioterrorist Leana Wen to ramp up the PCR fraud in the runup to the full-on Pandemic 2.0, which I covered a few days ago, and acquiesced using other people’s money (or more accurately, money that doesn’t actually exist, tacked onto the bloated deficit).

Via U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (emphasis added):

“Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced it would award $306 million dollars to continue its H5N1 Avian Flu response. While CDC’s assessment of the risk of avian influenza to the general public remains low, USDA and HHS continue to closely collaborate with Federal, State, local, industry and other stakeholders to protect human health, animal health, and food safety…

CDC will award approximately $111 million in funding for additional enhancements to our ability to monitor H5N1 at the local, state and national levels:

$103 million to jurisdictions for increased monitoring of individuals exposed to infected animals, testing, and outreach to high-risk populations (such as livestock workers)

$8 million to manufacture, store, and distribute additional influenza diagnostic test kits for virologic surveillance

NIH will award approximately $11 million in funding for additional research into potential medical countermeasures for H5N1:

$11 million to the Centers for Excellence for Influenza Research and Response contracts”

What an amazing display of sadomasochism that we all just take for granted: the government conjures money out of thin air in the People’s name, hands it over to bloodthirsty technocrats, and in so doing sows the seeds of the techno-slaves future abuse that they themselves financed in the name of protecting them from a virus that the government created in the first place, also using made-up money that doesn’t exist and that will eventually trigger a meltdown, which will then be used just like bird flul to further subjugate them and strip them of whatever meager freedoms they might have left so AI can tell them when they have enough credits to take a Tesla taxi to visit their domestic terrorist grandmother in a bird flu concentration camp.

For Democracy™.

Predicting 2025: The Bird Flu out the window

Our third prediction for 2025 isn’t exactly a crazy left-field pick: Bird Flu. It’s going to happen. The question is when, and how much.

The second half of 2024 was full of dire warnings that H5N1 was “just one mutation away” from human-to-human transmission or articles bemoaning how little we learned from “Covid” and how unprepared we are.

It very much felt like, after over two years of talking it up as the next big disease, Bird Flu was coming to a head.

Then, just yesterday the press reported “the first official bird flu death”, the patient was over 65 with “other pre-existing health conditions” (sound familiar?).

Does that mean we’re about to get the “next pandemic” they’ve been talking about for so long?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s noteworthy that, despite the reported death, the hysteria still seems low-grade.

There’s no real commitment to the story. The WHO is still describing H5N1 as “very, very low risk” to humans. This is obviously true, but the truth only ever appears in WHO press releases by coincidence.

It’s starting to feel like “Bird Flu” might have missed its window. They think they may have fizzled all the H5N1 momentum to the point that letting it die is the best option.

That means a change in narrative architecture. A redirect is required. Instead of Bird Flu being “the next pandemic”, it may be about to become a “near-miss pandemic”, perhaps one that is artfully avoided by advancements in vaccine technology or thorough screening. Well done us.

It could be that two years of hype has smothered the bird flu brand in the cradle (nest?), so the “next pandemic” will actually be some surprise newcomer – like whatever made-up nonsense is allegedly hitting China right now.

…or maybe the black death.

Or maybe I’m wrong, this is the calm before the storm, and the Bird Flu waves are about to break on the shores of 2025.

Whatever direction it ends up taking, 2025 will be the climax of the Bird Flu narrative. If it hasn’t become a full-blown thing by March, it likely never will.

The Pandemic Planners Come for Hoof and Hen…and Us Again

On December 31, 2024, the world received a year-end parting gift from the good folks at NIAID, Anthony Fauci’s old fiefdom at the National Institutes of Health. NIAID – the same unaccountable and secretive agency that Fauci used to fund the gain-of-function research of Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill and the Bat Lady in Wuhan that resulted in Covid – has a new director, one Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo. 

Marrazzo and another NIAID colleague, Dr. Michael G. Ison, wrote a year-end editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine that accompanies a research paper on recent H5N1 Bird flu cases in the United States, as well as a case report of a lone case of severe illness associated with Bird flu in British Columbia.

Marrazzo and Ison summarize the findings of the research paper and case report as follows:

Investigators now report in the Journal a series of human cases from the United States and Canada. The former series involves 46 case patients with generally mild, self-limited infection with [Influenza type] A(H5N1): 20 with exposure to poultry, 25 with exposure to dairy cows, and 1 with undefined exposure.…Most case patients presented with conjunctivitis, almost half with fever, and a minority with mild respiratory symptoms, and all recovered. The only hospitalization occurred in the case patient with undefined exposure, although hospitalization was not for respiratory illness.

Biden Commits over $300 Million to Bird Flu Prevention

President Biden has committed $306 million to increase monitoring, testing and response to H5N1 bird flu across the United States.

According to a press release, “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced it would award $306 million dollars to continue its H5N1 Avian Flu response. While CDC’s assessment of the risk of avian influenza to the general public remains low, USDA and HHS continue to closely collaborate with Federal, State, local, industry and other stakeholders to protect human health, animal health, and food safety.”

“While the risk to humans remains low, we are always preparing for any possible scenario that could arise. These investments are critical to continuing our disease surveillance, laboratory testing, and monitoring efforts alongside our partners at USDA,” said Secretary Xavier Becerra.

“Preparedness is the key to keeping Americans healthy and our country safe. We will continue to ensure our response is strong, well equipped, and ready for whatever is needed.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently confirmed the first “severe” case of bird flu in the US.

The CDC tested samples from the sufferer, a 65-year-old man from Louisiana, and confirmed worrying new mutations.

The mutations affect the virus’s hemagglutinin gene and could make the virus more transmissible in humans.

In particular, the mutations “may result in increased virus binding to α2-6 cell receptors found in the upper respiratory tract of humans.”

Bird Flu ‘Fearmongering’ as CDC Finds ‘No Evidence’ of Human-to-Human Transmission

‘No evidence’ of human-to-human transmission of bird flu (H5N1) has been identified, says a new study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and published Tuesday at the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

The study concluded:

In the cases identified to date, A(H5N1) viruses generally caused mild illness, mostly conjunctivitis, of short duration, predominantly in U.S. adults exposed to infected animals; most patients received prompt antiviral treatment. No evidence of human-to-human A(H5N1) transmission was identified. PPE use among occupationally exposed persons was suboptimal, which suggests that additional strategies are needed to reduce exposure risk. (Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)

“All the case patients who were exposed to infected poultry were involved in depopulation activities,” CDC also reports.

Harvey Risch, M.D., professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine, told Lumen-News the CDC study “shows that the human bird flu cases that have occurred to date are essentially in people with workplace exposures to infected animals.”

2025: Derailing Trump with Bird Flu & the Resurrection of the mRNA Vaccine

Over these last few days of 2024, there has been a plethora of news warning about a possible bird flu pandemic in 2025.

I know what you’re thinking. Karen, couldn’t you have picked a more positive topic for the last day of the year?

Maybe tomorrow.

We need to remind ourselves about mRNA vaccines and that pesky bird flu and a few of the crazy things that we’ve been subjected to so we can better face the crazy things to come.

So, let’s start with Magical mRNA.

“You can basically do anything with synthetic RNA/DNA. It’s like a computer program…. You could probably stop aging, reverse it if you want. You could turn someone into a frigging butterfly if you want with the right sequence. I mean, caterpillars do it.” ~ Elon Musk

As we go through this short piece, remember Musk’s words and remind yourself that it isn’t just about disease or even money, our conditioned obsession with heath and curing it with drugs is the most critical method transhumanists have to convince he masses to allow themselves to be experimented on.

Just yesterday, Newsweek warned:

The first severe human bird flu case in the United States was reported in Louisiana earlier this month.

Genetic analysis found the virus had mutated, making it more easily transmissible to humans, the CDC said.

The agency called the mutations “concerning’ and “a reminder that A(H5N1) viruses can develop changes during the clinical course of a human infection.”

For President Trump, this could be like Groundhog Day. Not only will he be expected to stop World War III; he might just need to save us from another pandemic.

Only this time, half the population isn’t going to believe any of it.

  • Will he order another “Operation Warp Speed?”
  • What if people really do start dying, not just the elderly, but young people. Children. Will he be blamed for how unprepared we are?
  • All those middle America folks who voted for Trump, all the farmers and laborers, how much will they suffer?
  • And if Trump starts deporting the illegals who work on the farms, will the farmers suddenly decide illegals aren’t so bad after all and turn against Trump?
  • Who will be willing to take the place of desperate illegal workers who work for low wages and are willing to put their health in danger?
  • Which experts will Trump choose to advise him? It won’t be Dr. Fauci. What will Robert Kennedy Jr recommend, will he suddenly start supporting vaccines?

A second pandemic doesn’t bode well for a nation so divided, especially when it was the first pandemic that made us this way. A pandemic that our government says it still doesn’t know where it came from.

“The Pandemic clock is ticking.”

So says Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, urging officials to examine what they learned during the COVID-19 pandemic and use it to prepare for the next pandemic. That should set off all sorts of alarm bells.
