Hello Joh and Doves,
re: bird flu in poultry
The culling of tens of
millions of birds in the U.S. obviously isn't working - it
is NOT "one of the most effective ways to stop disease
spread and protect U.S. animal health as a whole," per the
USDA. Over 21 million egg-laying birds across the U.S.
have been culled. Over 145 million chickens, ducks and
turkeys have been slaughtered across the U.S. This has
spread across wild and domestic bird populations and even to
dairy cows. So how is this working??
And now the USDA has
approved a conditional license for an H5N2 bird flu
vaccine. This is a 'leaky' vaccine. Leaky vaccines do
not provide protection or prevent transmission. They
can result in more virulent strains - that are lethal to the
unvaccinated birds. THEY could create an ecological
disaster.
Hopefully, the coming new
strategy will be - let the chips fall where they may.
Let's let 'flock immunity' do it's job and let the bird
immune systems work like God intended for them to work.
New Strategy In the
Coming Days:
"Agriculture Secretary
Brooke Rollins is expected "in the coming days" to
announce a new strategy to fight a virus, a USDA
spokesperson said, without commenting on whether vaccines
would play a role."
The Agriculture Department
"granted a conditional license for an H5N2 bird flu vaccine
designed to work against variants of the H5N1 virus, the
strain circulating among herds of dairy cows and domestic
poultry in the U.S." The vaccine is manufactured by
Zoetis, a U.S. manufacturer - "the vaccine has met the
USDA's requirements for safety and "reasonable expectation"
of effectiveness."
"If the federal government
were to vaccinate poultry, it could come with a number of
complications, notably that many U.S. trading partners won't
accept exports from countries that allow vaccinations."
96% of the poultry (ducks,
turkeys and chickens) is for meat consumption. "The
boiler industry provides $449.5 billion in economic activity
and $36.7 billion in government revenue..."
Vaccines don't provide the
same level of protection in every bird - some won't be
protected at all and some will have "silent
infections." And a highly virulent strain introduced
into a vaccinated chicken facility could "promote the
emergency of strains with mutations."
"...there's
currently ongoing research to provide mass vaccination of
poultry via drinking water, reducing human exposure."
A "conditional" license is
"used to meet an emergency condition, limited market, local
situation or other special circumstance and is issued for a
finite period of time." These can be renewed, as
necessary.
Hopefully, this 'new
strategy' has included input from virologists and
epidemiologists - because it's known that 'leaky' vaccines
can result in new pathogens. Leaky vaccines do not
prevent infection and transmission.
"Not all vaccines prevent
infection. Some, known as leaky vaccines, prolong host
survival or reduce disease symptoms without preventing viral
replication and transmission...new research..has
demonstrated that leaky vaccines can make the situation for
vaccinated individuals worse. Leaky vaccines work by
enhancing host immunity to a particular pathogen, without
necessarily blocking or slowing viral replication."
This can result in vaccinated individuals transmitting
highly virulent pathogens "that would normally
reach an evolutionary dead-end in a dead host."
This was actually seen in
the use of a chicken virus vaccine against the Marek's
disease virus - the vaccinated chickens "shed
cumulatively higher amounts of highly virulent
virus." These viruses could be transmitted to
unvaccinated chickens where they are lethal.
"Conventional wisdom is that
natural selection will remove highly lethal
pathogens if host death greatly reduces
transmission. Vaccines that keep hosts alive but
still allow transmission could thus allow very virulent
strains to circulate in a population."
Data shows that
"anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can
create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen
strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated
hosts."
"When vaccines
prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all
vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards
increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines
leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they
could create the ecological conditions that would allow
hot strains to emerge and persist".
"Rather than
authorizing leaky vaccines for U.S. poultry, the USDA
should consider allowing the latest clade of H5N1 to run
its course so that the birds can acquire natural immunity
to it. The practice of culling has been a
total failure and the new poultry vaccine is equally
unlikely to end the problems, though there is a good
chance it will contribute to the emergence of an even more
dangerous variant of H5N1."
Herd immunity would have
been a good way to go with Covid-19 - but certain people
stepped in to push their mRNA Covid-19 "vaccine" that did
not prevent transmission, that did not prevent illness, that
did not prevent hospitalization, that did not prevent death
- instead we ended up with how many new strains of
Covid-19??
Hopefully, we don't have
similar people with similar thinking deciding on the
response to bird flu in the U.S. They could results in
a far more virulent bird flu that is far more lethal to
migratory birds, ducks, turkeys, chickens and that could
infect humans with a lethality of the Spanish Flu.
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
