Disease X: Terrifying New Strain of Bird Flu Kills Over a Third of Those Who Contract It
Bird Flu Pandemic Could Be ‘100 Times Worse Than Covid’ Scientists Warn
After bird flu was found cattle for the first time and one human diagnosis reported following contact with with an infected cow, experts are warning a pandemic “100 times worse” than COVID-19 could soon erupt.
Cattle from 13 herds in six different US states have already been diagnosed with the new bird flu strain, according to federal and state officials.
The White House says it is ‘monitoring the situation’.
Will this virus outbreak arrive in time to disrupt the US election?
The Mail Online reports: Speaking at a briefing, virus researchers said the H5N1 strain of bird flu may now be getting ‘dangerously close’ to triggering a pandemic.
Multiple cases of the infection in a variety of mammals, including cows, cats and, more recently, humans, are all raising the risk of the virus mutating to become more transmissible, they said.
But others attending the briefing said it was too early to panic because there were still too many unknowns about recent cases to warrant sounding the alarm.
A White House representative said today it was tracking bird flu in the US, adding: ‘We take the health and safety of the American people seriously.’
The panel was quickly convened off the heels of news that a dairy farm worker in Texas tested positive for the virus, alongside 12 herds of cows in six states and three cats also in Texas that subsequently died.
Testing done on the worker showed the patient’s virus had already mutated to spread more easily — although the CDC said this mutation had been recorded before, that the risk was low and that there was no sign of human-to-human transmission.
The briefing was attended by bird flu researchers, doctors and officials from government agencies who were alarmed by the bird flu case in a human.
John Fulton, a pharmaceutical industry consultant for vaccines and founder of Canada-based pharmaceutical company BioNiagara, organized the meeting after receiving enquiries from the media.
Speaking at the briefing, Dr Suresh Kuchipudi, a bird flu researcher in Pittsburgh, warned: ‘This virus [has been] on the top of the pandemic list for many, many years and probably decades.
‘And now we are getting dangerously close to this virus potentially causing a pandemic.’
He added: ‘H5N1 viruses have already demonstrated several important features of a potential pandemic virus.
‘So these are, the virus is already globally distributed, and this virus particularly, that is often perceived as an avian virus, it can, and it has shown, the ability to infect a range of mammalian hosts including humans.
‘We are not really talking about a virus that is yet to make a jump, we are talking about a virus that is globally present, already infecting a range of mammals and is circulating.
‘So, therefore, in my view, I think this is a virus that has the greatest pandemic threat [that is] playing out in plain sight and is globally present.’
‘It is really high time that we are prepared.’
His concerns were echoed by Fulton, who warned the H5N1 strain of influenza A could trigger a worse pandemic than Covid.
He said: ‘This appears to be 100 times worse than Covid, or it could be if it mutates and maintains its high case fatality rate.
‘Once it’s mutated to infect humans, we can only hope that the [fatality rate] drops.’
As Infowars notes: We have a scenario strikingly similar to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the U.S. and Chinese governments were working together on avian flu gain-of-function research, which makes viruses more infectious for humans.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky shared a screenshot of a February 2024 Daily Mail article with the headline, “REVEALED: US is collaborating with Chinese scientists to make bird flu strains more infectious and deadly as part of $1m project – despite fears similar tests unleashed Covid.”
“Where have we seen this before? U.S. collaborates with China to make bird flu more contagious and transmissible to mammals. bird flu now discovered in U.S. dairy cattle, transmitted to at least one human being. Knock it off already!” Massie wrote.
The article also made multiple connections between the U.S.-China bird flu research and the infamous Wuhan lab where COVID-19 originated.
“The main collaborators on the project are USDA Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute – a Wuhan lab partner,” Daily Mail wrote.
“Additionally, one of the researchers collaborating on the project is Wenju Liu, who is affiliated with the WIV – which is believed to have sparked the Covid pandemic – and a member of the board of a scientific journal, working with Zheng-Li Shi, who is known as the ‘bat lady’ for her extensive work on bat coronaviruses.”
Secretive U.S. bird flu research was also being done at the infamous American-run Ukraine biolabs, according to the Russian government as Infowars reported in May 2023.
The task force of the Russian Ministry of Defence together with officers of the Federal Security Service and Rosselkhoznadzor have confirmed the collection and certification of avian influenza virus strains with a high potential for epidemic spread and the ability to cross the species barrier, particularly the H5N8 strain, whose lethality in human transmission can reach 40%. Remember that 1% of new coronavirus infections result in death.
The Russian Ministry of Defense also claimed the Ukrainians tried to destroy the biolab in an effort to cover up the U.S. avian flu research.
“According to the employees who remained in the Reserve, the Ukrainian side offered them a large cash reward for removing or destroying the research results,” the ministry stated.
The World Health Organization warned of a potential bird flu outbreak back in February of 2023, and the U.S. started work on producing vaccines for both birds and humans.
It’s extremely bizarre that the potential outbreak is taking place during an election year (just like Covid) and that the establishment has already been steering people away from consuming cow meat and milk as well as chicken meat and eggs.

The US government is spending $1million of American taxpayer money to fund experiments on dangerous bird flu viruses in collaboration with Chinese scientists.
The research involves infecting ducks and geese with different strains of viruses to make them more infectious, and study the viruses' potential to 'jump into mammalian hosts,' according to research documents.
It is being funded through the US Department of Agriculture and collaborating studies will take place at sites in Georgia, Beijing and Edinburgh in Scotland.
It comes despite similar research being restricted in 2022 and growing concerns that dubious Chinese studies may have started the Covid pandemic.
ON BIRD FLU DR. MCCULLOUGH WARNS: “A Perfect Storm is Brewing”
BY THE WELLNESS COMPANY
Dr. McCullough: “Fear Mongering, Food Supply Threat, Virus with a Deadly Past, mRNA Vaccines--A Perfect Storm is Brewing”
After warning us for months that 2024 could see another deadly pandemic, the medical establishment and governmental health organizations are sounding the alarm bells on bird flu.
Not only are they drawing comparisons to COVID-19, they are in fact claiming that bird flu has the potential to be 100 TIMES MORE DEADLY!
Now Dr. Peter McCullough has weighed in,
With the fear-mongering campaign of ‘Disease X’ sponsored by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovation (CEPI), people are wondering what virus might infect the world next. A few days ago, the CDC issued a health advisory for the H5N1 bird flu as it was detected in a Texas dairy farm worker [1]. His only symptom was conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the eye. As of today, human-to-human transmission has not occurred and thus H5N1 poses limited risk to humans. However, this may change in the near future, especially if we consider the dark history of gain of function (GOF) research regarding H5N1.
While Dr. McCullough poses little threat to humans at this moment, he does caution that a mutated bird flu pandemic would serve several of the globalists goals,
Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum (WEF) believe we should reduce our reliance on animal food products as part of their globalist views.. Thus, a food scare in westernized countries with market recalls and destruction of poultry and meat would further dystopian goals for the Davos club]. H5N1 has a historical fatality rate of 52.16% in humans and fear alone could drive considerable anxiety in large populations not only about exposure through food, but pets, and other humans.
It's difficult to determine if H5N1 is the next ‘Disease X’ at the moment. It’s possible due to the abundance of GOF research and biotech interests, ready-made vaccines, and powerful drivers of mass panic in the wings. If more cases occur in clusters or bona fide outbreaks with human-to-human transmission, we could be well on our way to a 2024 avian influenza pandemic crisis.
mRNA Vaccine Waiting in the Wings
Dr. McCullough further cautions,
[in 20202] the FDA approved the first H5N1 vaccine.. funded by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) The first generation product comes from a cell-based, combination inactive antigen platform. The second generation is planned to be self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) technology. Perhaps there’s a reason the US government is already stockpiling an ‘approved’ vaccine for a virus that doesn’t spread in humans. The CDC alert does not mention the approved vaccine, saying that they will develop one if needed. Very strange.
Be Prepared
Now is not the time to panic, nor is this the time to be complacent – now is the time to be prepared.
According to Dr. Kelly Victory, Chief of Emergency & Disaster Medicine for the TWC Chief Medical Board,
Bird flu is a red flag they run up the flag-pole every 12-18 months. At present, this appears to be like previous recent “outbreaks” that effect primarily poultry workers, with little evidence that there is appreciable human to human transmission. That being said, this is a good reminder that we always need to be prepared and to foster self-reliance for times of emergency. We have every reason to believe, for example, that ivermectin, hydroxychlorquine, azithromycin, budesonide, etc. will cover a large range of viral and bacterial illnesses, as they are certainly not “covid specific”. Keeping these medications on hand allows people to be free from the grip of BigPharma who would have them believe that every new pathogen or seasonal outbreak requires a new/novel treatment, as well as from the chaos and uncertainty that commonly accompany public health scares.

HERE WE GO…’BIRD FLU-POCALYPSE’ FORCES HONG KONG TO SUSPEND SOME IMPORTS OF US POULTRY MEAT
The recent spread of bird flu—also known as highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI— across several US states has been hyped by corporate media. Some journalists are quoting ‘experts’ who warn the bird flu pandemic could be ‘100 times worse’ than Covid.’
According to Bloomberg data, the story count in corporate media for all things “Bird Flu” last week hit a record high on data going back to 2014.
The context here is crucial. Bird flu is not just a US issue anymore; it’s ‘going global,’ and this is happening just before the US presidential elections in November.
On Tuesday, Hong Kong’s food safety authority published a memo stating, “Import of poultry meat and poultry products suspended in some areas of the United States.”
Here’s the full memo from the Center for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department:
The Center for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department announced today (April 9) that in response to a notification from the World Organization for Animal Health regarding an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in Ionia County, Michigan, and Parmer County, Texas, USA, The CFS immediately instructed the trade to suspend the import of poultry meat and poultry products (including poultry eggs) from the above-mentioned areas to protect public health in Hong Kong.
A spokesman for the CFS said that according to the Census and Statistics Department, Hong Kong imported about 37,770 tonnes of chilled and frozen poultry meat and about 83.84 million poultry eggs from the United States last year.
The spokesman said: “The CFS has contacted the US authorities regarding the incident and will continue to closely monitor information on the outbreak of avian influenza from the World Organization for Animal Health and relevant authorities, and will take appropriate actions in light of the development of the local epidemic.”
If it’s bird flu or whatever “Disease X” could possibly be, there appears to be a push to “intersect” some type of ‘Covid crisis’ before the 2024 US elections.
“They will surely try to run their “Disease X” ruse. But they have already lost the trust of the people they made war against in their own country. In which case, expect resistance among the un-sick,” James Howard Kunstler penned in a note earlier this month.
Social distancing is back as Brits urged to ‘stay away’ from birds amid fears of next human pandemic
Plus, all the signs and symptoms you need to know
BRITS must stay at least two meters from wild birds, according to new official advice from health chiefs amid fears of another human pandemic.
In new guidance to help Brits "stay safe", the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned bird flu posed a "risk to human health".

People should avoid all contact with wild birds, which includes pigeons, swans, and seagulls, government officials said.
Under the guidance created with the RSPCA and Animal and Plant Health Agency, Brits are also urged to steer clear of animal droppings and dead birds.
At all times, people should also aim to stand "at least two metres" away "if you can".
The new advice comes amid fears that bird flu, which has killed "unprecedented" numbers of birds and other mammals in the last few years, might be the next human pandemic.

Woman, 63, dies from two lethal strains of bird flu after developing a cough
While bird flu typically affects poultry and wild birds, it can be transmitted to mammals, including humans.
Research shows the death rate in humans can be as high as 60 per cent.
At least 882 people have been infected with bird flu in the past 20 years - and 461 of these died.
Focus: Bird flu pushes US dairy farmers to ban visitors, chop trees
….Reuters spoke to seven dairy farmers in five states who said they are reinforcing safety and cleaning procedures, with three producers exceeding government recommendations
"Think of our farm now as a gated community for cows," said Karen Jordan, who raises about 200 dairy cattle in Siler City, North Carolina. "Only the most essential person can get past the gate."
Even before North Carolina's outbreak, Jordan, 64, said she was limiting visitors who could unintentionally carry in contaminated bird droppings on boots or vehicles. She also started chopping down about 40 small trees to avoid attracting wild birds during spring migration.
The first confirmed case in a dairy herd on March 25 and the second human case in two years on April 1 have heightened concerns in the U.S. about the spread of the virus to animals and people. Bird flu has decimated poultry flocks globally since 2022 and infected mammals ranging from seals and foxes to skunks.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the risk to humans remains low, but has asked states for plans to test and treat potentially impacted farm workers.
Last but not least! This gives a clue to the spread of bird flu
Ground-up chicken waste fed to cattle may be behind bird flu outbreak in US cows
The Telegraph Story by Maeve Cullinan, Sarah Newey
Fears are growing that the H5N1 outbreak among cattle in the United States could have been caused by contaminated animal feed.
In contrast to Britain and Europe, American farmers are still allowed to feed cattle and other farm animals ground-up waste from other animals including birds.
Dairy cows across six US states – and at least one farm worker – have become infected with the highly pathogenic virus, which has already killed millions of animals across the globe since 2021.
The farm worker, who is thought to have been exposed via infected cattle in Texas, is only the second recorded human H5N1 case in the US. Since February, the US has investigated and discounted a further 8,000 possible exposures, according to Dr Joshua Mott, WHO senior advisor on influenza.
The development is of concern because it allows the virus, which has killed millions of birds and wild mammals around the world, more opportunities to mutate.
Experts fear that H5N1, which was only first detected in cows a few weeks ago, may have been transmitted through a type of cattle feed called “poultry litter” – a mix of poultry excreta, spilled feed, feathers, and other waste scraped from the floors of industrial chicken and turkey production plants.
In the UK and EU, feeding cows proteins from other animals has been tightly regulated since the outbreak of BSE – or ‘mad cow disease’ – 30 years ago.
Experts are unsure but fear it could be the poultry litter feed used in the US that has passed the virus to cattle.
“In the US, the feeding of poultry litter to beef cows is a known factor in the cause of botulism in cattle, and is a risk in the case of H5N1,” said Dr Steve Van Winden, Associate Professor in Population Medicine at the Royal Veterinary College.
Dr Tom Peacock, a virologist and fellow at the Pirbright Institute agreed: “This latest case wouldn’t be the first time there have been concerns H5N1 could be moving through different mammals via contaminated feed,” citing the outbreak of avian flu in cats in Poland last year, which experts suspected might have been transmitted through mink byproducts used in raw cat food.
The US cattle industry is worth over $100 billion and regulations covering animal standards there have long been controversial in Europe – most famously over the use of hormones in the rearing of cattle for meat.
Although the presence of H5N1 in US cattle herds increases the risk of the virus getting into humans via farm workers, it is the spread of the virus to pig farms that presents the bigger threat.
This is because pigs have receptors on some cells that are similar to humans, making it much more likely that the virus could mutate and jump to humans if pig farms become infected.
So far, the virus hasn’t shown any signs of worrying mutation, however.
“Infection of H5N1 in pigs is of particular concern – they are highly susceptible to human influenza virus strains so could act as mixing vessels for avian and human viruses to mix and generate viruses that can more efficiently infect humans,” said Dr Tom Peacock.
Poultry litter is not only cheaper than other food sources like soy and grains but is also more calorie-dense, meaning farmers can bulk up their herds much more quickly.
According to previous statements by the FDA, the practice is safe: “With respect to pathogenic microorganisms, drug residues and contaminants in poultry litter, FDA is not aware of any data showing that the use of poultry litter in cattle feed is posing human or animal health risks that warrant restrictions on its use,” the agency previously noted.
There are several other theories on how the H5N1-infected cattle – so far identified in Texas, Idaho, Kansas, Ohio, New Mexico, and Michigan – contracted the virus.
Many experts argue that the most likely route of infection is via wild birds – which have been found dead on some farms.
“The spread of this around the world comes back to wild and wild bird populations and where they land and where their faeces goes,” stressed the WHO’s Dr Johsua Mott.
“At some point, the contact with wild birds in the environment produced virus that then the cows had exposure to, but how that exposure happened is what many people are trying to figure out,” he added.
It is also unclear if the virus is spreading from animal to animal, said Dr Mott.
On each farm, multiple creatures have been infected but this could be because they are eating from a common source of infection – feed or wild birds – rather than passing it on to another.
The director of ruminant health for the United States Department of Agriculture, Mark Lyons, suggested at a meeting last week the virus could be potentially transmitted by contamination of workers’ clothing, or the suction cups that are attached to cow udders during milking.
However, others argue that poultry litter as a potential source of contamination cannot be ruled out.
“The flu can be spread by faecal-oral routes, and so it’s not an impossible scenario that chickens who are infected with H5N1 are shedding live virus through faces, which the cattle then consume, and so it is a potential mechanism of transmission, although there are other explanations,” said Dr Brian Ferguson, Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Cambridge.
“The BSE scandal showed us the reality of what happens when biosecurity is not a priority, and showed us that it really does need to be prioritised – which is not always the case, because of the economics involved,” he added.
Despite large-scale culling in poultry flocks during outbreaks to limit spread, it seems a similar approach will not be taken for cattle.
The CDC has advised farmers with affected herds to dispose of milk produced by infected cattle, although it is thought that the pasteurisation process also destroys the virus – meaning the risk to humans consuming animal products remains low.
At present, the WHO has said the risk to humans is considered low, but that surveillance efforts must be kept up.
“There were 12 of H5N1 cases globally in 2023, and a similar pace so far in 2024. Since it emerged in 1996, there have been over 800 cases globally.
“So you get a sense that there’s nothing unprecedented about the number of human cases we’re seeing – but we have to watch the virus. We have to watch the epidemiology, to see if it’s changing in some way,” said Dr Mott.
