Covid Actors Are Back: Now It’s Bird Flu

Question of the day: Will you fall for it again?

This is directed only at those who dutifully wore face diapers, who cancelled family get togethers or who left sick children alone in their rooms as ordered by public health authorities during the covid pandemic. Oh, and those who took vaccine after vaccine, thanking Pfizer that they didn’t die every time they caught the virus.

Will you stay home if ordered? Cover your face in public? Let them close your kids’ schools? Roll up your sleeves for another experimental shot?

It appears the CDC – with just 22 days left to inflict hysteria on the American people – has begun ginning up the panic about bird flu.

And guess who reappeared just in time to fan the flames: Deborah Birx, the scarf-wearing vampiress who admitted that 14 days to slow the spread was a lie intended to shutdown the country indefinitely.

She ought to be under indictment, not making appearances on cable news.

According to hysterics in the media, a strain of the bird flu virus – detected in a single patient in Louisiana –  shows signs of “concerning” mutations. An outbreak in chickens and cows has caused California (of course) to declare a state of emergency.

Could other blue states be far behind? Continue reading.

    I debated whether or not to post this column on Bacon's Rebellion. Kerry addresses the public health issues from a national perspective and focuses on the words and deeds of federal officials. I chose to go with it because public health policy is inherently a state issue as well, and if the bird flu thing takes off, we'll be dealing with it here in Virginia. Punditry-wise, this column could be the opening salvo in the inevitable controversy.

    Absolutely… kind of hoping the denialists do not, tbh…

    Psst, Kerry–Contrary to your hysteria the CDC says it has detected no person-to-person transmission of bird flow and rates the threat to public health as low. https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html

    It would have been better not to post this as it represents a distorted perspective of the Covid response and CDC's response to bird flu.
    Only in hindsight do we know the mistakes made in the response to Covid. What we need is a sober "lessons learned" assessment; the kind of indictment that this piece contains.

    I WILL NOT COMPLY. I will do what I do during any flu season.

    I've owned birds (about 125) for over 20 years. In that time there have been at least three Avian Flu scares. I have other friends who have birds and friends who have smaller commercial bird houses. NONE of us has ever had any issues.

    This country should NEVER comply with any hysteria like that EVER AGAIN. Do what YOU think is good for your family. Do LOTS of research

    I am wondering if there is a fundamental difference between Conservatives in the US and non-Conservatives when it comes to contagious diseases that can cause death from a public health policy perspective.

    Many non-Conservatives in the US and around the world accepted the idea
    that what was done was necessary and prudent. Conservatives and some non-Conservatives did not.

    And, it did become so politicized that we are not surprised if the next time, with perhaps the Bird Flu what happens if we refuse to take the steps deemed necessary with COVID.

    Some folks will continue to get vaccinated and continue to heed the public health folks advice and recommendations.

    It looks like more than a few conservatives will not.

    With Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of the Great Barrington Declaration as incoming director of NIH maybe we'll have a more rational and science based response than we had to Covid. If we get someone rational at CDC too that will help.

    There is already a vaccine for H5N1 so we're a leg up there if it mutates to spread among humans.

    Excellent post by JAB as it brings needed focus on the CDC with its Big Pharma cronies as to the medical travesty of COVID. Which was then perpetuated by UVA/Ryan with its COVID vax mandates causing avoidable harm the magnitude of which has yet to be fully quantified.

    When the class action lawsuits are brought against UVA one wonders if it has enough money in its endowment to cover the bill.

    Now if you doubt me and you of course want evidence then read the following of what is coming down the pike.

    And no I do not believe they can raise enough to offset the claims by increasing the foreign student visa numbers to then raise tuition to cover the shortfall.

    What's all this about bird flew?

    Birds fly all the time.

    Except emus, ostriches and cassowaries, of course.
