We learned in med school that herpesvirus is one of the smartest ones. Lingers, finds a home in ganglia, but does not kill. Preserves the host, spreads easily. Sort of like politicians...
Wild birds carry the bird flu virus and have a high survival rate. Which brings us to the question of what the actual lethality is for domestic birds. It is 100% right now because as soon as they find a case of bird flu, they KILL all the birds in the facility. And that is often hundreds of thousands or millions of birds. If they let the virus run, who knows what the fatality rate would be. Domestic birds would probably develop immunity just like wild birds have. So why don't they let the bird flu run? Because there is a payout for every bird killed in a culling to get rid of the bird flu virus. And that payout is often higher than the profit generated by bringing the eggs or meat to market.
Those of us who have followed the bird-flu hype for years are onto the scam. The numbers are grossly inflated to say the least. As with Covid, the testing methods are so far from accurate they are a farce. Dead birds on the beach....test them....amplify the test until a trace of the virus is found....if not found....amplify more. There are so many toxin in the environment pinning every bird death on H5N1 discredits the entire ploy to keep us frightened. Inspectors descend on poultry farm....5 dead birds found....Cull the remaining million birds and count them all as bird flu casualties. They tried to cause a panic with MERS and SARS but there was still some integrity left in the corporate media and health agencies back then and it all fizzled out. The WHO, once in total control of the worlds health systems, will Pandemicize bird flu, probably sooner than later, and the circus will come to town again. Mark my words! Prediction - early 2024 before the US election cycle gets into full swing. All a pack of lies.
No worries, unless they've been doing experiments in labs on making it more transmissible to humans, just for research purposes, of course, with no chance of it ever escaping. But hey, since when have they ever done anything as crazy as that.
I think another motivation behind BIRDFLUWEAREALLGONNADIE is that many folks are starting to raise chickens in their own backyards to avoid high prices at the grocery stores.
"...the lack of any major respiratory virus pandemics between 1919 and 2020."
People forget, but the 1918 Spanish Flu's transmission was greatly augmented by this little historical event called World War I---in which millions of people were confined in close proximity to each other for weeks in trains and trenches.
It wasn't a super virus---just exploitative of a novel historical situation.
It was ten years ago when they did gain of function of bird flu and made it airborne against ferrets. But even then none of the ferrets died. However this is ten years later and they could have made it much worse.
Alex, excellent write up about H5N1 and a good explanation about it's viral history and influenza in general. I'm a student of Influenza pandemics and it's interesting that H5N1 was largely unknown (ignored) until 1997 when in infected 18 and killed 6 in Hong Kong in 1997. Between 1998 to 2022 it garnered little attention except for the stray journalist that covered an occasional death because somebody ate an uncooked bird infected with the virus and a couple of rogue virologists that warned every year about the coming H5N1 apocalypse. Clearly, H5N1 naturally has an Extremely Difficult time adapting from an avian to human host. However, IMO there is probably Gain Of Research being done on H5N1 as we speak. All of our favorite bad players want very, very badly to get this experimental mRNA into the Influenza regimen and IMO they would love an Influenza Pandemic, H5N1 or other variant to push yet another mandate and Totalitarian Control, this time using mRNA Influenza shots as the impetus to keep the gravy train rolling and trampling on every man, woman, and child.

"Boy Who Cried Wolf" ends up killing us all because one day there will be a real deadly pathogen and no one will believe it....

Covid vaccines have stalled. A new money pit is needed.

Don't worry, I'm sure we're gain-of-functioning as quickly as we can to make it a thing.
After the last 3 years of official grabassery would anyone listen to anything “authorities “ say?
If we find out that NIH and Fauci have been working on producing a vaccine for H1N1, be very afraid...
I’m stealing “side piece exemption”. Thank you Alex! 😂

It never stops! You're right. We have to make this grift stop being so profitable.
Never comply!

Let the chickens eat the bugs (in my garden)!

This bird flu is very serious. My wife just paid $8.49 for a dozen organic eggs. I told her to eat them slowly.
And this from a work newsletter: "Well, it finally got me. Three years into the pandemic I
finally came down with the dreaded COVID-19. As our secretary would say, “I got the Vid.” I had not
gotten it even after my wife, daughter and others close to me contracted COVID beginning in 2020. I
had religiously gotten all the vaccinations and boosters as soon as they became available
as I realized that this was nothing to take lightly."
Gee - I wonder what his family DID NOT GET early in 2020?????
