Bird Flu Continues To Spread In Animals, While Sparing Humans…For Now

The bird flu is continuing its spread in animals as it spares human beings for now. The number of confirmed cases in humans has held steady for almost two months.

At the same time, hundreds of dairy cows continue to be infected, and raw milk samples in several states have tested positive for the avian flu, according to federal health officials.

EU Warns of Bird Flu Mutation Risk In Pigs

In March 2024, bird flu was reported in United States dairy cows for the first time, and the mainstream media made a big deal about it becoming the next potential plandemic. As of Friday, the virus has infected more than 1,000 herds across 17 states, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Research Funded By Fauci And Gates Could See Bird Flu Become The Next Deadly Pandemic

There is currently no evidence that the virus is spreading between people, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the risk to the general public is low. However, some experts told ABC News that they fear the virus could still mutate or adapt to become more severe or transmissible. The CDC confirmed the first human case in April 2024. A Texas dairy worker who was exposed to cows was presumed to be infected by avian influenza. This is believed to be the first instance of the mammal-to-human spread of the H5N1 strain.

A professor of pediatrics and immunology at Duke University School of Medicine, Dr. Tony Moody, said there has been so much transmission of bird flu in animals that he wonders if mass immunity will surface soon.  “In terms of the cattle population and other animal reservoirs, I’m starting to wonder exactly how many more cases we’ll see because, at this point, we’re probably heading toward — and pun is intended here — herd immunity,” he told ABC News.

“I think the real question comes down to: how much do we want to test animals and people in order to be able to nail down transmission events and really understand how frequently this is happening?” Moody said, “I would personally like to see better surveillance and more coordinated surveillance. I think that the problem we have right now is that we have an incomplete view because testing of animals falls under one department, testing of people falls under a different department. They don’t necessarily communicate in real time with accurate information and, the two agencies in question here, they’ve got very different purposes.”

There is no evidence of human-to-human transmission yet, or that the virus has mutated to become more infectious. Moody said he still worried about mutations and adaptations.
