One Person In Texas Has Been Infected With Bird Flu After Handling Cattle

A person in Texas has contracted the bird flu after handling cattle. The United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a health alert after the first case of H5N1 avian influenza, or bird flu, seemingly spread from a cow to a human.

Avian influenza has been spreading among mammalian animals for months now, and it seemed like only a matter of time until the virus mutated enough to infect human beings. According to a report by The Conversation, a farm worker in Texas contracted the virus amid an outbreak in dairy cattle. This is the second human case in the U.S. Back in 2022, a poultry worker tested positive in Colorado.

The media has reported that the virus strain identified in the Texan farm worker is not yet readily transmissible between humans and therefore not a pandemic threat. But it’s a significant development nonetheless.

Rising Cases of Bird Flu in Mammals Sparks Concerns Of Human Transmission

H5N1 first emerged in 1997 in Hong Kong and then in China in 2003, spreading through wild bird migration and poultry trading. It has caused periodic epidemics in poultry farms, with occasional human cases.

Influenza A viruses such as H5N1 are further divided into variants, called clades. The unique variant causing the current epidemic is the H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, which emerged in late 2020 and is now widespread globally, especially in the Americas. –The Conversation

Unfortunately, members of the ruling class and elitists have already funded studies that show the bird flu has the potential to be the next plandemic.

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

Should human cases continue, eventually we will see a jump and the possibility of a really fatal disease infecting and spreading amongst humans. Currently, the CDC still says the risk to human beings is “low” and the general population should not have concerns about avian influenza just yet.

If you’ve only taken a few precautions for another, and this time, damaging plandemic, now would be a great time to get a list together of things you may want to keep on hand, just in case this does spiral out of control.

The continual culling of entire flocks of birds has failed to stop the spread of this virus.
