This report was first published on October 24th. New information has been added.
This purported issue has quietly found its way onto the homepage of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) website.
The WinePress has been documenting persistent media warnings since 2021, with constant reports hitting it in stride this year especially.
As of this week, the CDC is currently reporting 27 human cases of avian influenza this year, 16 of those cases being H5N1. 13 were reported in California.
The CDC notes they have monitored at least 5,100 people after exposure to animals that were reported as infected.
This past week a number of cases of infected individuals from California were reported, experiencing “mild symptoms,” including eye redness or discharge (conjunctivitis), after these people had direct contact with infected cattle at dairy farms, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reported.
“Given the amount of exposure to infected cows, evidence continues to suggest only animal-to-human spread of the virus in California,” said the CDPH statement. “Additionally, based on CDC’s genomic sequencing of three California bird flu cases, there is no evidence to suggest an increased ability for the virus to infect or spread between people and no known reduced susceptibility to antiviral medications.”
In a statement to Fox News, Shira Doron, MD, chief infection control officer at Tufts Medicine Health System in Boston, said:
Right now, with no evidence of human-to-human spread, it does not have the potential to become a human pandemic, but that could change. Obviously, scientists and public health officials should be concerned, and should take action to limit the spread of this disease in farm animals.
Doron recommended people get an annual flu shot as a potential extra layer of protection. “While it is not likely to protect against avian flu, it will help people avoid being infected with the seasonal and avian strain at the same time, which can lead to genetic mixing and emergence of a pandemic strain,” said Doron.
It is not time to vaccinate more broadly yet, given the small number of cases, absence of proven human-to-human transmission and mostly mild infection.
Seasonal flu cases will be rising soon, and we will need to distinguish quickly between regular flu and avian flu, especially in animal workers.
Doron explained
Sam Scarpino, PhD, director of AI and life sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, said the increasing number of human H5N1 cases is “concerning.” “The more spillovers to humans, the more chances there are for the wrong variant to find itself in a person and spark an epidemic,” he told Fox News.
Earlier this week, the CDC sent a team to monitor a potential outbreak at four different farms in Washington state, making it the sixth state this year to have reported human cases of H5N1 bird flu.
Reuters reported: ‘The four tested presumptively positive after working at an infected egg farm, Washington’s health department said, adding their use of protective gear was inconsistent. The workers suffered mild respiratory symptoms and conjunctivitis, and were given antiviral medication, officials said.’
‘The workers were removing carcasses and litter and cleaning facilities where about 800,000 chickens were culled, the health department said. The farm was hit by a strain of the virus from wild birds, according to Washington’s agriculture department,’ the outlet added.
The CDC has yet to update their officially published numbers.
Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and USDA announced new steps to tackle these latest outbreaks in California and Washington.
The ‘USDA is collaborating with California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to support ongoing epidemiological investigations, increased surveillance and enhanced biosecurity,’ and is sending a small coalition to aid, investigate and provide added surveillance, among other things, the HHS said in a press release.
The Biden-Harris USDA additionally ‘has transferred $824 million to fund these programs that help provide financial assistance to farmers to meet the biosecurity standards that are required to protect against continued spread of the disease and compensate farmers for lost milk production if they are impacted.’
The USDA is also working with health officials in Washington to closely monitor any further outbreaks, and ‘is providing technical support and resources to help on-the-ground response efforts.’
Dr. Amber Itle, the Washington state veterinarian, also reiterated the potential for this to turn into a pandemic to NBC.
The longer this virus hangs out in the environment, the more animals it spills over into, the more it changes in ways we don’t understand or predict, the more concerned we are going to be that this becomes the next global pandemic.
She said
Similar to other mainstream reports earlier this year, cited ‘experts’ continue to warn that this pandemic potential will be greatly exacerbated if the virus begins to spread through the national dairy supply.
“There’s a heck of a lot of virus in the milk of an infected cow,” said Richard Webby, director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals. “If the virus evolves to become effective at infecting humans – although we are not yet at that point – milk from a single cow would be enough to infect thousands of people,” he added.
In the HHS’ press release published today, the department said the supply of pasteurized milk is safe, but warns that raw dairy is to be avoided and perhaps is likely a host for H5N1.
Researchers across the federal and state governments have been working to understand the prevalence of H5N1 in the U.S. milk supply. On Oct. 3, states were invited to participate in a new study (the “silo study”) that will generate data to aid in the understanding of H5N1 in raw cow’s milk received by dairy processing facilities across the nation.
This silo study will inform and further enhance collective efforts that state and federal agencies and industry are engaged in to help inform the national strategy to control the spread of the virus, identify any viral transformations, and help ensure safety of the milk supply.
HHS noted in its press release.
A collection of other headlines in recent circulation have also cautioned the spread of bird flu and its pandemic potential:
- “Bird flu found flowing through city sewers — Is another pandemic next?” – (Study Finds)
- “Hungary and Italy report outbreaks of H5N1 bird flu, WOAH says” – (Reuters)
- “People are catching avian flu from wild birds, study suggests” – (The Telegraph)
- “Bird flu kills 47 tigers, three lions and a panther at Vietnamese zoos” – (The Telegraph)
- “Bird flu is evolving and attempts to stop it are ‘not working’” – (Study Finds)
In response, the federal government has quietly bolstered its vaccine supply in the event they are needed and mass-vaccination is implemented, including awarding contracts for new mRNA-based shots.
CIDRAP reported on October 4th:
At today’s briefing, David Boucher, PhD, director of infectious disease preparedness and response at the US Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS’s)Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), said the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) has given $72 million in new awards to three vaccine companies to produce H5N1 vaccine. The awards cover more fill-and-finish activities, the production of additional bulk antigen, and maintenance of vaccine seed stocks.
The companies include CSL Seqirus, which makes a cell-based vaccine, and Sanofi and GSK, which make egg-based vaccine.
Boucher said the overall H5N1 vaccine strategy, which includes mRNA vaccine development, is designed to pivot to new threats while leaning into other areas. Currently, H5N1 vaccination isn’t recommended for any group.
The new manufacturing agreements will double the amount of finished H5 vaccine in the strategic national stockpile to just over 10 million doses by the end of the first quarter of 2025, he said.
Botched Response And The Bird Flu President?
Another interesting narrative that has increasingly begun to circulate in recent weeks by the mainstream media is that the government, identical to what happened with Covid-19, is once again slow to the punch and is letting corporate greed get in the way of safety rather than taking immediate measures to stop the outbreak from getting worse.
This was exemplified in a recent article by Vanity Fair titled, “Inside the Bungled Bird Flu Response, Where Profits Collide With Public Health.”
Long story short: “veterinarians responding to dairy farms in the Texas panhandle earlier this year […] stumbled upon hellish scenes out of a horror movie” when they saw dead and dying cattle, wild birds and house cats dying on rural farms; and when they sounded the alarm to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the governing body did very little. To sum it up, the ‘experts’ interviewed are irate that hefty regulations, quarantining and vaccine campaigns are not taking place, and that we are repeating Covid-19 all over again.
Medgene CEO Mark Luecke: “We’re screaming at the top of our lungs, ‘We have an H5N1 vaccine for cattle ready to help farmers and ranchers today!’” A White House health official told Vanity Fair, “Not only have we not learned, we have regressed.”
Vanity Fair wrote: ‘Experts are hesitant to speculate about what could happen if the virus were to begin more widely infecting humans, for fear of spreading panic, but the toll could, in the worst case, dwarf that of COVID-19. If the virus “infects a person infected with a human flu strain, and something comes out that is reassorted and adapted to humans? I don’t even want to imagine,” Jürgen Richt, regents and university distinguished professor at Kansas State University. “Not good.”
The paper framed sentences such as this one: “A black swan scenario materialized this spring—an unprecedented bird flu outbreak in dairy cows, originating in Texas, during an election year in which absolutely no one wants to talk about scary viruses.” An unnamed veterinarian in the Midwest apparently told Vanity Fair: “Everyone is so scared s***less. That is what is going on in the background.”
The Institute for Disease Modeling, a research institute within the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has estimated that a global flu pandemic could kill close to 33 million people within six months.
Vanity Fair added
Rick Bright, former Health and Human Services deputy assistant secretary for preparedness and response, claimed: “This didn’t have to be a nationwide outbreak, but there was an intentional decision made by USDA, and the agricultural lobbying groups, to let it rip.”
Vanity Fair indicated that if Donald Trump is elected President, one of his potential selections for the agriculture department in his administration, apparently does not think bird flu is much of a worry. VF wrote: ‘Texas agriculture commissioner Sid Miller, who is reportedly on the short list to be US agriculture secretary if Donald Trump is reelected, takes the view that H5N1 is “not a big deal. It’s not even a little deal. It only affects 10% of the milking cows. I don’t even know anyone who lost a cow.”’
Reuters also published an exclusive report this week echoing a similar tone, reporting on evidence that the USDA actually began to relax testing – implicating that this reduction in surveillance is setting up Americans for a much bigger problem later on.
The outlet wrote:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture weakened an emergency order last spring designed to prevent the spread of bird flu among the nation’s dairy cattle after pushback from state and industry officials, according to state and federal records seen by Reuters.
The communications, which have not previously been reported, show how the early federal response to the U.S. bird flu outbreak was shaped in part by industry interests reluctant to cooperate with burdensome regulation, and potentially contributed to transmission of the disease across state lines.
The USDA’s order, released in April after bird flu cases were discovered in cows in eight states, requires milk-producing dairy cattle moving across state lines to secure a negative bird flu test no more than seven days prior to travel. It also allows non-producing cattle headed to slaughter to cross state lines without a veterinarian’s clean bill of health.
The USDA had initially contemplated more stringent requirements, including a three-day time frame for testing, but responded to industry feedback urging leniency before releasing the order, according to documents contained in the records request.
Relaxing the order may have enabled more spread of the virus, two veterinarians and one dairy industry representative told Reuters. They noted logistical constraints to testing animals in the shorter window.
It would seem that a new general consensus is growing, and that whoever is elected President, Trump or Harris, will be the so-called “Bird-Flu President,” as The Atlantic put it. The outlet warned of what may be to come in 2025:
Presidents always seem to have a crisis to deal with. George W. Bush had 9/11. Barack Obama had the Great Recession. Donald Trump had the coronavirus pandemic. Joe Biden had the war in the Middle East. For America’s next president, the crisis might be bird flu.
Either Trump or Kamala Harris will inherit an H5N1 response that has been nightmarishly complex, controversial, and at times slow.
You should be experiencing some serious déjà vu by now. In 2020, the U.S. was operating in the dark regarding COVID because tests were scarce, many states were not publicly reporting their COVID numbers, and the federal government and states were fighting over lockdowns. The systematic problems that dogged the pandemic response are still impediments today, and it’s unclear whether either candidate has a plan to fix them. Trump and Harris both seem more intent on pretending that the worrying signs of bird flu simply don’t exist. Neither has outlined a plan for containing the virus, or said much of anything publicly about it. (The Trump and Harris campaigns did not respond to requests for comment.)
If America is going to avoid repeating our COVID mistakes, things need to change fast. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, highlighted the need for more widespread testing, and vaccinations for those at high risk of catching the virus. (The federal government has a stockpile of bird-flu vaccines, but has not deployed them.)
H5N1 is already showing its potential to spoil both candidates’ promises to lower grocery prices. Poultry flocks have been hit hard by bird flu, and the price of eggs has spiked by 28 percent compared with a year ago. (Inflation also played a role in increased prices, but bird flu is mostly to blame.) The next president will have to spar with America’s dairy industry if they want to get useful data on how widely the virus is spreading. Dairy farmers have been reluctant to test workers or animals for fear of financial losses.
But none of this will compare with the disruption that a new president will have to deal with should this virus spread more freely to humans. For Americans, that will likely mean a return to masks, another vaccine to get, and isolation. Some experts are warning that schools could be affected if the virus begins spreading to humans more readily.
Bird flu doesn’t seem like a winning message for either candidate. Talk of preparing for any type of infectious disease triggers the fears of uncertainty, isolation, and inconvenience that Americans are still trying to shake after the pandemic.
It’s hard to imagine either Trump or Harris starting their presidency by instituting the prevention measures that so many people have grown to hate. Unfortunately, the next commander in chief may not have a choice.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Once again, I have to reiterate that a lot of this is typical media fearmongering, propaganda and predictive programming that is supplanting what is most likely going to happen. The media, just like they did with the Covid scamdemic, and other over-arching agendas “they” (the globalist elites) have, is they always use the media machine to dictate and program narrative; that’s how this stuff works. It’s not “conspiracy theories,” but rather aptly “pattern recognition” and being discerning, and walking circumspectly (Ephesians 5:15-16).
Regulars know that I have been warning for years now that it was becoming clear that “bird flu” would be the disease of choice for the next plandemic; and I have many articles reiterating and providing proof of that claim. Dr. Joseph Mercola cited my claims in a paper written in the first half of 2022 about bird flu being the next pandemic.
The reason for this is to allow the government and elite players involved to massively consolidate more farms under the headship of the federal government, and put small, independent farmers out of business (or arrest them if they don’t comply); perform mass-vaccination campaigns on the livestock, wildlife and pets, which will make them inedible as to safeguard our health, and/or will cause widespread deaths of these animals (especially if mRNA vaccines are used, which it appears that will be the case); and therefore this will lead to meat and dairy being yanked from store shelves, and will succumb to heavy taxation and grossly inflated prices. The (stupid) Atlantic is trying to blame some of this food inflation on “bird flu” already; and I suspect this will be the excuse in 2025 and 2026 as the Federal Reserve goes on a giant money creation spree, as the broader economy continues to collapse.
We know for a fact that “they” want us to stop eating meat and be more “sustainable” to fight this made-up crisis called “climate change;” something only the King James Bible prophesized would happen approximately 2,000 years ago. SEE: The King James Bible Is The Only Version That Accurately Predicted The War And Restrictions On Eating Meat
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
While we do not yet know for absolute certainty all that will befall us next year (Proverbs 27:1), I do firmly believe the media propaganda machine, the “ministry of truth,” is spelling out what may likely happen in 2025, regardless of who is President. The WP has noted a number of times that world leaders and private interests have said that the “next pandemic” is coming. However, this time a lot of deaths, I believe, will be required to sell the story, as too many people began to realize they were getting played in the fallout from the Covid rhetoric. So do not be surprised if we start to see those who took the Covid shots get very sick and die in larger numbers (more than they are already have).
Stay vigilant, friends and brethren, things are going to be rough next year, besides the threat of plandemics. Stay close to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, trust in him, pray that his will be accomplished in your life, remove anything that is stymieing your walk with him, and continue to walk by faith.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. [6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Psalm 33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. [18] Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; [19] To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. [20] Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. [21] For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. [22] Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
