A Bright, Shiny, New Pandemic Coming Our Way - From The CDC, FDA, WHO, Big Government, And Big Tech - The New Bird Flu
And plenty of scary propaganda is being rolled out, along with the usual panoply of dangerous, expensive, highly profitable, and absolutely ineffective "countermeasures"...
Scary “news story” from major US publication:
And from the WHO:
A bit of scary stuff from Dr John Campbell, who, oddly, advocates vaccines and masking although he later acknowledges that none of this actually works:
Of course, all of these people and institutions and governments are prescribing the same “measures” that didn’t work for COVID - for example, vaccines:
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it is in a 'posture of readiness' with several vaccine and drug candidates in the works. National testing capacity [Undoubtedly PCR “testing”] is also being built-up in case the H5N1 strain that has devastated bird populations around the world spills over into people.
'Flu fighter' John Barnes told a CDC webinar Monday: 'Our priorities at this point are really to be in a posture of readiness. So we're continuing our pandemic planning activities and should the situation change, we've got surveillance activities and monitoring of exposed individuals.' Fears of a flu pandemic were ramped up last week after a Cambodian father and daughter were diagnosed with H5N1, raising fears it was spreading between people for the first time in decades. … Dr Barnes, the CDC's lead for its Influenza Genomics team, told the conference: 'We're continuing our viral genomic analysis from the data that we're getting from the outbreaks. 'We have pandemic vaccine risk mitigation, outlining for a potential H5 if we need to use that in a vaccine.'National testing capacity readiness is something that we're working on.'
The world was caught on the back foot by Covid when it emerged in late 2019, forcing most of the world to rely on lockdown curbs to reduce the spread of the virus while tests, drugs and vaccines were put into rapid production. Dr Barnes said the agency was in talks with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about developing a specific test for H5N1, either in-house or with the help of commercial companies.
'And so we're continuing to look at vaccine effectiveness, safety and immunization systems.' Dr Barnes added that several drug and vaccine candidates had already been highlighted and he expects them to provide strong protection. 'The sequence analysis that we are doing currently indicates that most of these strains, our antiviral treatments would be very effective against them. And then we have candidate vaccine viruses for this strain, and it was added to manufacture and given to manufacturers in early 2022. The candidate vaccine virus, and then mink H5, are 100 percent identical for the part that matters HA1. And so this is a likely good candidate.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11803767/CDC-says-posture-readiness-amid-bird-flu-pandemic-fears.html
Masks have been suggested - but they don’t stop aerosol spread, and that includes most influenza viruses: “The pooled results of RCTs did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks. There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection.” https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub6/full
Handwashing offers minimal benefit, if any:
“Hand hygiene is likely to modestly reduce the burden of respiratory illness, and although this effect was also present when Influenza-Like Illness and laboratory‐confirmed influenza were analysed separately, it was not found to be a significant difference for the latter two outcomes. Harms associated with physical interventions were under‐investigated.“ Ibid.
They also mention lockdowns - which were an utter failure, creating worse outcomes for people, including anxiety, depression, and isolation, which act to depress immune function, decreasing endogenous vitamin D3 formation which comes from exposure to sunlight, and so forth, see https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/04/lockdown-sceptics-like-demonised-right/, worth reading in full. And then there’s the “testing” - more here:
and “contact tracing”…
According to Dr Anthony Fauci, in a recent article in Cell, influenza vaccines have very low effectiveness at the start of an epidemic, usually decreasing to zero effectiveness after three months, at which time presumably a new shot would be needed - for the rest of your life:
“Until the emergence of COVID-19, influenza had for many decades been the deadliest vaccine-preventable viral respiratory disease, one for which only less than suboptimal vaccines are available. Surprisingly, little has changed with influenza vaccines since 1957 when they were first administered in US national vaccination programs. Over the years, influenza vaccines have never been able to elicit durable protective immunity against seasonal influenza virus strains, even against non-drifted strains. Although current influenza vaccines reduce the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death to some degree, their effectiveness against clinically apparent infection is decidedly suboptimal [at the time of immunization], ranging from 14% to 60% over the past 15 influenza seasons. Furthermore, the duration of vaccine-elicited immunity is measured only in months. Current vaccines require annual re-vaccination with updated formulations that are frequently not precisely matched to circulating virus strains.
As of 2022, after more than 60 years of experience with influenza vaccines, very little improvement in vaccine prevention of infection has been noted. As pointed out decades ago, and still true today, the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases.” https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(22)00572-8
The same has been found for the COVID-19 vaccines, as noted in the article. So as a public health measure, all of these vaccines are worthless - as are vaccine cards, vaccine passports, vaccine mandates, and the rest of that stuff…
In fact, there’s a lot of really good evidence that shows that you are more likely to get COVID infections - repeatedly - in direct proportion to the number of booster shots you get:
Now, do we want to repeat this travesty with yet another retrovirus, this time H5N1? Because doing the same thing and expecting different results isn’t generally a wise thing to do.
But wait, there’s another answer, proposed by the FDA and CDC - antiretroviral drugs - in fact, they’ve bought millions of doses of these drugs - just as they did with remdesivir, repurposed anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs. Maybe those will work, and even if they don’t, it’s billions of dollars of profit for otherwise useless drugs.
It’s really kind of interesting that zinc and zinc ionophores, such as quercetin, aren’t mentioned at all - and I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this new H5N1 “potential pandemic”. It seems that no one is concerned about how retroviruses are replicated in cells - if you could stop that, you could stop a retroviral infection dead in its tracks, making it possible for your immune system to create a response, create B- and T-cells, and give you broad-based and durable immunity for very little money, and very little risk of side effects:
Here’s a bit on how that works:
”Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. The infectious virion possesses a negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome, which is constituted of eight different viral RNA (vRNA) segments that encode for 11 identified viral proteins (Figure 1A). Each segment is associated with a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) and multiple copies of viral nucleoprotein (NP), forming the viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complex (Figure 1B). The vRNP constitutes the active transcription and replication component unit, in which the RdRP catalyzes the distinct processes of both transcription and replication using the same vRNA. Progresses on polymerase structures of bat influenza A virus, human influenza B virus, and influenza C virus have provided tremendous insights on the complex architecture of the RdRP. Functioning as a viral RNA synthesis machine, the RdRP can produce either cRNA or vRNA through de novo replication or viral mRNA transcription through “cap-snatching”.” https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsinfecdis.7b00265
Zinc has an effect on viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP): “The RNA synthesis of these two distantly related nidoviruses is catalyzed by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is the core enzyme of their multiprotein replication and transcription complex (RTC). Using an activity assay for RTCs isolated from cells infected with SARS-CoV or EAV—thus eliminating the need for PT to transport Zn2+ across the plasma membrane—we show that Zn2+ efficiently inhibits the RNA-synthesizing activity of the RTCs of both viruses. Enzymatic studies using recombinant RdRps (SARS-CoV nsp12 and EAV nsp9) purified from E. coli subsequently revealed that Zn2+ directly inhibited the in vitro activity of both nidovirus polymerases. More specifically, Zn2+ was found to block the initiation step of EAV RNA synthesis, whereas in the case of the SARS-CoV RdRp elongation was inhibited and template binding reduced.” https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1001176
Now, how do you get Zn2+ into the cells? You use a zinc ionophore, like EGCG, found in green tea, or quercetin, which occurs in many foods, including dark chocolate - see https://tracts4free.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/dabbagh-bazarbachi2014.pdfquercetinionophore.pdf and https://isom.ca/article/zinc-ionophores-and-long-haul-covid/ for an explanation of their activity.
OK, now for the costs - a 100-day supply of 30mg zinc gluconate tablets costs $5, 120 caps of EGCG will set you back about $35, and 120 days supply of quercetin will cost about $18 - so figure for three months a price range between $23 to $40, which is pretty cheap. I took quercetin and zinc for 2020, 2021, and most of 2022, and in addition to not getting sick, I had no pollen allergies or allergies to house dust, which was great…

I use presearch.com and I like it.
