HERE ARE YOUR NEXT "PANDEMICS"...2 FAILS FROM THE PAST COMING BACK UP TO 'BAT'





Scientists (How many and who, exactly? Based on what proof?) say an apocalyptic bird flu could wipe out half of humanity

Dr. Michael Gregor, a scientist and physician who once testified for Oprah Winfrey in her “meat defamation” trial, warns that an apocalyptic virus emanating from overcrowded and unsanitary chicken farms has the potential to wipe out half of humanity.

Greger, a vegan, writes that “In the ‘hurricane scale’ of epidemics, COVID-19, with a death rate of around half of one percent, rates a measly Category Two, possibly a Three. … The Big One, the typhoon to end all typhoons, will be 100 times worse when it comes, a Category Five producing a fatality rate of one in two. … Civilization as we know it would cease.”

While environmentalists warned earlier this month that the world would face another stronger epidemic if we continue to have contact with wildlife, Gregor places the blame squarely on chickens.

“With pandemics explosively spreading a virus from human to human, it’s never a matter of if, but when,” Greger writes.

Citing the bird-based Spanish Flu outbreak of 1920, and the H5N1 outbreak in Hong Kong in 1997, Gregor writes, “the worry is that the virus never stands still but is always mutating. … This is the monster lurking in the undergrowth, the one that makes epidemiologists shudder.”  

Gregor writes we have to change the entire system – away from large scale farms where chickens are fed antibiotics and are crammed together and pass diseases from one to another easily to smaller, free-range farms … and eventually not eating chickens or ducks at all.

“The pandemic cycle could theoretically be broken for good,” he writes. “Bird flu could be grounded.”

But until then, he warns, “as long as there is poultry, there will be pandemics. In the end, it may be us or them.”

So we...what? Murder every chicken, every turkey, goose, duck, all the birds?

PLAY ME SOME G.W. BUSH "SHOCK AND AWE".
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE...PART 1001.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

THE CDC HAS A NEW STRAIN OF SWINE FLU WAITING IN THE WINGS. 


LITTLE PIGGIES WILL INFECT THE WORLD, UNLESS...

CDC Takes Action to Prepare Against “G4” Swine Flu Viruses in China with Pandemic Potential

July 2, 2020 – A recent publication in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) external icon describes a group of H1N1 swine influenza viruses that have “the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans” and which are therefore of potential pandemic concern.

This group of viruses, referred to as “G4” Eurasian (EA) avian-like H1N1 viruses, has been spreading in pigs in China since 2016 and has become the predominant genotype found in Chinese pigs. 

According to the report, these viruses have the right characteristics for causing infections in people, including the ability to grow well in human lung cells and to spread by respiratory droplets and direct contact in an animal model. While only three human infections with G4 viruses have previously been reported, this study found that about 10% of swine workers from whom blood samples were taken in China had evidence of prior infection with G4 viruses, suggesting that human infection is more common than previously thought.

["...
the RIGHT characteristics for causing infections in people"? 
GO SOMEWHERE QUIET AND THINK ABOUT THAT STATEMENT.]

G4 viruses have not been detected in pigs or people in the United States. However, like all flu viruses with pandemic potential, CDC is taking a number of actions to monitor and prepare against this emerging public health threat, including:
-Coordinating with public health partners in China, including requesting a virus sample
-Assessing the risk of the virus causing a pandemic using CDC’s Influenza Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT)
-Evaluating whether an existing candidate vaccine virus (CVV) against a closely related flu virus (called “G5”) would protect against this virus,
-If needed, creating a new CVV specific to G4 viruses, and
-Studying whether existing flu antiviral drugs offer protection against this group of viruses.
[NEW VACCINE! NEW VACCINE! YAAAAY!]

These G4 viruses would be detected by the current CDC Influenza Virus Real-time RT-PCR Influenza A (H1/H3/H1 pdm09) Subtyping Panel, which would indicate this was an H1N1 variant virus infection. CDC has guidance for clinicians on variant virus infections and state public health laboratories have standing ordersexternal icon to forward variant viruses to CDC for further study​.

G4 swine flu viruses in China described in the PNAS report have a mix of genes from influenza viruses found in humans, birds and pigs. Five genes of the G4 virus came from the 2009 H1N1 virus that caused the 2009 flu pandemic. 

Based on laboratory transmission studies in ferrets, G4 viruses can spread via direct contact or via respiratory droplets. CDC has tested a closely related G5 virus in its laboratories and observed transmission similar to what was reported in this study.  

WHAT A MIX!
SURELY THAT COCKTAIL DIDN'T ORIGINATE IN A LAB...NAAAAH, PSHAW, OF COURSE NOT...  


BUT, HANG ON!
DIDN'T WE JUST SEE THAT FERRETS ARE WIDELY USED IN TESTING/RESEARCH FOR COVID-19
WHY, YES, AND THAT'S ONGOING

PURE COINCIDENCE, SURELY.  

The PNAS study [Did they mean 'penis'? Sorry, couldn't resist. But, after all, CDC’s Influenza Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT). Apologies to RATS]
 showed that among 338 swine workers whose blood was tested for antibodies, about 10% had evidence of past infection with G4 viruses. A higher rate was observed among 18-35-year-old swine workers. Regular households also were sampled, and about 4% of the 230 people from the general population had antibodies to G4 viruses. 

These data suggest that these viruses may have acquired increased capability of infecting humans. Study authors caution that continued circulation of these viruses in pigs and exposure to humans may allow for additional re-assortment events to occur

A prototype candidate vaccine virus (CVV) from the closely related EA avian-like H1N1 G5 swine flu virus was originally developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center at the China CDC.

THE COINCIDENCES JUST KEEP MOUNTING, DON'T THEY? 

LET US GIVE THANKS TO THE CDC, ET AL, THAT WE CAN JUST ABOUT BE SURE WHAT WILL CAUSE THE NEXT LOCK-DOWNS.

THOSE GUYS SURE THINK AHEAD, HMMM?  

MASKS, NO GATHERINGS, LOCK-DOWNS, STAY-AT-HOME, FINANCIAL RUIN FOREVER, RIGHT?  

ONLY IF WE KEEP BOWING TO TYRANTS.
