is why: i)Antigen Vaccine Not Tested Against Current Strain of Avian Influenza so out of the gate the vaccine FAILS, a mismatch, does not hit the correct circulating antigen (s) ii)antibody levels as
Just another experiment using squalene adjuvant like they did with the Anthrax vaccine linked to Gulf War syndrome, and the H1N1 plandemic. This fat based adjuvant potentially causes autoimmune illnesses.. They keep pushing this thing. They've put it in the over 65 flu shot, and is also done in Europe. Really revs up the immune system. Over 65 side effects blamed on old age. But I guess they want to mess up the young and strong. Book Vaccine A is about the military anthrax vaccine.
Bird flu has zero impact in humans. Never did never will. It cannot jump to humans. Pure bullshit. Bird flu has zero impact on the meat of chickens and is perfectly fine to eat when cooked. Millions of chickens are slaughtered and put into landfill. Reason? Famine / meat shortages.
Any one know anything about this woman Jane Ruby who had some criticisms of Mccullough? She is a PHD nurse but hasn't worked for 20 years. She started floating around when covid hit. One thing she did say made sense , about not injecting more things to clear out spikes. But she is brittle and that makes her seem shady.
I have a problem with Jane Ruby….she is overreacting to just about everything and wants us to think she is a great activist….however that being said, in the past but no longer, I learned things from her….
I saw a Podcaster today selling a Be prepared for the next virus or flu, you know the “Bird Flu is being found everywhere, so be ready”Remember the last time” the Medical Drugs /included Antibiotics, Antiviral, OTC meds, Flu treatment. Etc. The zipper pack was a slick looking kit. Price not givenBY THE WELLNESS COMPANY…. Kinda ironic.
you will want the emergency kit if these bastards get their way again and lock down all antibiotics as they did in covid...tamiflu is modestly effective, research is ambivalent, H1N1 it failed...I am not a supporter of tamiflu...I do support Foster Coulson and with Risch, McCullough, Thorp, etc. do provide technical support to TWC...I think TWC does good, is trying, and when you do same, come back around to me and tell me please. funny thing is people on stack and elsewhere hocking cow manure, pure bullshit, their shirts cups, all kinds of supplements but the same bitches hitting TWC...give me a break...
I am not a brainiac for sure. I was merely noting that someone was selling a pkg of meds for antiviral use and to cover bacterial infection.etc. “Get your coverage for the coming “Bird Flu”…..I then came across your article regarding no H5N1 pandemic in the future…… it was ironic to me that one person today was selling a kit to treat the “coming “H5N1 virus… and it happened to be have the name of The Wellness Co. urging a purchase of the pre-selected meds to treat viruses or bacterial. That is it. I
The Wellness company is not holistic and promotes a ton of antibiotics and antifungals……ivermectin is the only drug i would buy … TWC sells a lot of crap and promotes Big Pharma … whenever Dr. Paul here promotes it I always indicate that I think TWC is fear mongering just like the government….we don’t need antibiotics which I know if I took I would get sicker…..there are many holistic substitutes…
we beg to differ on antibiotics...no doubt abused and we have driven resistance etc...but has its place when used properly...when you say TWC sells crap, what say you on the other places and peoples and companies that sell bigger crap? somehow you have a fetish for TWC...I wonder. I wont touch anything if I did not think it was legit...Foster Coulson owner is a good Canadian, like others wanted to play his role...a business man too...like all hocking bullshit, more bullshit...when you provide a balanced hit I will engage...the moment I see or come to know that TWC is bad, I will not be connected to them but thats not the case. everyone is trying...but you seem one sided, you forget all the hocksters out there selling garbage and promoting garbage...when in COVID many people had legit bacterial infections for a host of issues, govn and pharmacists and state boards etc. banned you access to antibiotics...the blue emergency kit allows you to have you own supply...its up to you to have it or not. these are regulatory approved antibiotics by script. up to you. your choice. govn made the choice for you before, you could not have it and many, thousands died of pneumonia etc. during height of that fraud as could not get any antibiotics...you could not take your money and buy needed drugs for your survival because the govn and medical doctors said NO...IMO the blue kit addresses your choice but you do not bother to get any...its your choice.
Thats okay but even Dr. Axe has a video on YouTube about how bad antibiotics are….and if there are natural remedies why why why would i take something that rips my gut out…i think you can do that if you want to but no one i know will take an antibiotic , not my homeopath, naturopath, acupuncturist… I am sorry but you are incorrect….i understand you are honorable but you are truly incorrect….that package ifrom TWc is truly a vicious blend of pharmaceuticals that would lower my immune system and tear apart my gut….i totally disagree with you….totally…..there is no place for an antibiotic unless the virus is stuck in your vertebra…..i truly believe you are wrong…Do you have any knowledge on holistic herbs and how powerful they are?….God put everything we need on this planet…..antibiotics is not one of them…..it is a mafia business too……
.ivermectin i believe in and that is it….i have not had an antibiotic for 5 decades and i have survived everything including a few serious illnesses…..
I am saying TWC is not holistic and yet it says it is protecting us and it is not…i would die from that kit and i am not the only one….sorry …..you can choose medicine but i choose God’s plants and herbs……medicine has only made me sicker and TWC is a medical organization that is just learning holistic ways….it knows nothing….do you know holistic ways……it is fine if you don’t but many people many many people would never take an antifugal like Diflucan which the TWC recommends and yet does not work any longer…..and many would never take an antibiotic….i don’t see a probiotic with that kit….that alone makes it irresponsible….totally irresponsible…again i don’t see a probiotic with that kit and that makes it totally irresponsible

After the last 4 years of compliance with the C19 PLANDEMIC, Western medicine doctors have ZERO credibility. They broke rule number one Do No Harm. Too many were complicit in crimes against humanity. I was always skeptical of doctors because their guesses always have unnecessary surgeries or potions with side effects worse than a patient's ailments. Destructive little over educated buggars.

Doesn't this sound like Bullet Train where the boomslayer snake would attack and kill by the venom but the antidote was already taken. A good immune system. The flu virus they have blamed the chicken's for years, swine pigs, botulism from cattle, macaque monkey hep b. and many others. The double flu vaccine loaded with mercury and aluminum even if get single allegedly without mercury residue quite a bit. Parot fever virus, middle eastern respiratory disease, whatever else they can think up

New Human Cases of Avian Flu Anticipated Allison Shelley
June 19, 2024
With avian influenza spreading quickly around the globe, the virus has more opportunities to mutate and cause problems for people. By some calculations, H5N1 bird flu is still at least two mutations away from widespread human infections, but experts warn that new flu symptoms in individuals at high risk are likely to start turning up in health systems this summer.
"There is a broad range of symptoms to be watching for," said Vivien Dugan, PhD, director of the influenza division at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "Some of this will not be obvious or at the forefront of our minds."
Dugan is leading the team of CDC scientists that is working with partners from the US Department of Agriculture, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and state and local health departments to track and respond to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak currently sweeping through the US.
Since 2022, avian influenza A viruses have been detected in more than 9300 wild birds in 50 states and territories and in commercial and backyard flocks.
"It's a bad situation," said Florian Krammer, PhD, professor of vaccinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. "Globally, we've seen tons of exposure in cities around the world and even in the birds here in New York City where I am."
Birds shed the virus in their saliva, mucous, and feces, so people or other animals with close, unprotected contact with infected birds or their contaminated environments can be infected.
And for the first time in March 2024, H5N1 bird flu was reported in dairy cows. The US Department of Agriculture said that at last count 101 dairy herds in 12 states had been infected, with several cases also found in dairy workers.
From Birds to Cattle and Farm Workers
The National Veterinary Services Laboratories confirmed the infections were highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b of Eurasian lineage. Also known as the goose, Guangdong clade from China, phylogenetic analysis and epidemiology suggests a single introduction into cows followed by onward transmission.
"I was surprised when H5 was introduced to dairy cattle in this way," Dugan said during an interview. "Influenza viruses are always surprising us and it reminds me to stay humble and keep an open mind when dealing with them."
People rarely inhale or get sufficient virus in their eyes or mouth to get sick, Dugan said, but those in close contact with animals are still at risk for infection, which could lead to upper respiratory tract symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, or runny or stuffy nose.
Like with other viruses, people can also experience muscle or body aches, headache, fatigue, fever or, as was seen in farm workers, conjunctivitis.
But there are less-common symptoms too like diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — and sometimes, even seizures.
The risk to the general public is still low, Dugan said, but authorities recommend that people working with animals wash their hands with soap and water and wear personal protective equipment that includes fluid-resistant coveralls, a waterproof apron, a safety-approved respirator, properly fitted goggles or face shield, a head or hair cover, gloves, and boots.
Dugan said that healthcare providers often don't take a history of occupational exposures when a patient presents with flu. But with rising rates of bird flu in new animal hosts, "this will be an important next step."
Asking Unusual Questions
This approach is not standardized on most electronic health records, so these are questions that clinicians will need to initiate themselves.
"Physicians should ask about work," said Meghan Davis, PhD, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. "If it's not already on the radar, asking about any direct contact with dairy cows, poultry, pigs, wild birds or wild mammals is important."
Davis says she's worried about a new study tracking risk factors for farm-to-farm transmission because it shows that farms testing positive for avian influenza often have workers with a family member also employed on another farm. "This suggests that we might need to be on the lookout for possible transmission within families," she said. Now, we have to ask "not just if the person with symptoms has contact with or works on a dairy farm, milk processing plant, or slaughterhouse, but also if any family member does."
Davis said that it's important to bear in mind when taking these histories that there may be younger workers on farms and in slaughter and processing facilities due to exemptions or illegal work.
What is important now is to get the situation under control this season in dairy cattle, Krammer said. "This will be easier to stop in cows than humans, so this is the time to stop moving dairy cattle and start vaccinating them."
Spotting New Cases
Since April 2024, there have been three human cases of avian influenza after exposure to dairy cows reported. "And what we don't want to see this summer is an unusual human cluster of influenza. It's important we keep a close, watchful eye for this," Krammer said.
"Influenza viruses do very interesting things and as we head into fall and winter flu season, we don't want new human co-infections that could cause major problems for us," he said.
If people become mixing vessels of a seasonal cocktail of multiple viruses, that could empower H5N1 to mutate again into something more dangerous, sparking a new pandemic.
"It wasn't all that long ago that we were asking China difficult questions about the steps Chinese authorities took to protect human lives from SARS-CoV-2 in the COVID pandemic. Now, we must ask ourselves many of these questions," Krammer said. "We are at a crucial crossroad where we will either elude a new pandemic or see one take off, risking 10 to 20 million lives."
There is a precedent for safely evading more trouble, Krammer pointed out. Government agencies have already been working with the poultry industry for a couple of years now. "And here, we have successfully stopped H5N1 with new regulations and policies."
But moving from poultry farms to cattle has not been an easy transition, Dugan said. Cattle farms have no experience with bird flu or tactics to contain it with regulations, and officials too are working in new, unfamiliar terrain.
"What we have now isn't a science problem, it's a policy issue, and it hasn't always been clear who is in charge," Krammer said.
"Agencies are working together at the state, federal, and global level," said Dugan. "We are increasing our transparency and are working to share what we know, when we know it."
The infrastructure built during the COVID pandemic has helped teams prepare for this new crisis, Dugan said. Year-round, layered monitoring has clinical labs reporting seasonal influenza and novel cases.
"Laboratories are ready to help with testing," Dugan said.
Specimens should be collected as soon as possible from patients with flu symptoms. A nasopharyngeal swab is recommended with a nasal swab combined with an oropharyngeal swab. If a patient has conjunctivitis with or without respiratory symptoms, both a conjunctival swab and a nasopharyngeal swab should be collected.
People with severe respiratory disease should also have lower respiratory tract specimens collected.
Standard, contact, and airborne precautions are recommended for patients presenting for medical care who have illness consistent with influenza and recent exposure to birds or other animals.

Me: Just have to get a new virus out of the Lab and off we go again - Covid No.2 - I wonder if Moderna will be the first one to patent it, like they did back in 2013 with their Covid-19 patent?
My FREE Salt Water Cure for Bird Flu and Covid and any other virus:
3 minutes from preparation to job done: Mix one heaped teaspoon of table (or Iodine) salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If burning sensation, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the burning sensation goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don't have any burning sensation at all, when you flush - job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), The Escutcheon Tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and it goes down the back of your throat, when infected there too.
I have been doing this simple cure for over 31 years and I am and others, never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be.
Simply put, if the inside of your nose is dry and crusty, you are OK, if your nose is runny, you really need to do a salt water sniffle as quickly as possible AND THERE IS STILL CLEAN SEA WATER, TO USE INSTEAD.
Nobody has been injured or killed by my above salt water cure
The CDC is funded by Bill Gates, so Bill had a hand in the vaccines roll out, while making a killing from them - Trump on the other hand: And now we know who pulls Trump's strings: “The masterplan [to vaccinate the world] was done by none other than the Wellcome Trust, NIAID Anthony Fauci, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (specifically Dr. Chris Elias), Dr. Gao from the CDC of the People’s Republic of China and a whole host of others who sit on what is called the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board,” Dr. Martin said.

Biden was Pfizer's puppet - according to a whisteblower in Biden's office, Pfizer was in touch with Biden at least 3 times a day - I can't see Biden giving Pfizer orders, can you?
not only suck, they CANNOT work...you can never ever get ahead of a respiratory virus with lockdowns or vaccine...ever..not RNA virus...ever...vaccine will never hot the antigen...its like the flu vaccine, it has never ever been effective...flu vaccine is one of the biggest rackets being run
I want to report after speaking with Edward Embury a major hog and chicken farmer, that 150 million chickens have been slaughtered during COVID in Canada alone. There is no compensation. This is a bald faced attempt at collapsing livestock farming and creating either a famine in North America or forced cricket flour as the protein replacement. The largest cricket farm in the world was quietly put online in London Ontario in 2022 when everyone was being gaslit by a FAKE PANDEMIC!!
There is still no real science proving viruses even exist. Just a failed theory that is profitable. Vaccines cause illness and disease to bolster life long profits for the healthcare and pharma industries that are all overseen by the Rockefeller foundations of science and medicine. Even Pasteur admitted on his death bed that The Germ Theory of Disease was incorrect and that Cellular Theory of Disease/Terrain theory was correct. (Antoine Beauchamp). Its all a scam for profits like most things we believe to be true. Once more good doctors like you and others start coming forth, this bullshit played on the sheep will never end as stated. Much of science in many fields has been compromised for profits rather than truth. I have worked most of my life in the University environment and fully understand how funding works. Give the funder what they want else get no funding its that simple. Truth means nothing, profits mean everything.
Just another experiment using squalene adjuvant like they did with the Anthrax vaccine linked to Gulf War syndrome, and the H1N1 plandemic. This fat based adjuvant potentially causes autoimmune illnesses.. They keep pushing this thing. They've put it in the over 65 flu shot, and is also done in Europe. Really revs up the immune system. Over 65 side effects blamed on old age. But I guess they want to mess up the young and strong. Book Vaccine A is about the military anthrax vaccine.
boom, excellent sharing, thank you
The pseudoscience of virology is at the root of all this BS. Until the “science” is questioned this will never end.
boom, it has reared its head and lots of virology is corrupted now...as is vaccinology
Just a repeat of what came after the “Spain Flu “ double jab strain that they did back then too
yes

But moving from poultry farms to cattle has not been an easy transition, Dugan said. Cattle farms have no experience with bird flu or tactics to contain it with regulations, and officials too are working in new, unfamiliar terrain.
"What we have now isn't a science problem, it's a policy issue, and it hasn't always been clear who is in charge," Krammer said.
"Agencies are working together at the state, federal, and global level," said Dugan. "We are increasing our transparency and are working to share what we know, when we know it."
The infrastructure built during the COVID pandemic has helped teams prepare for this new crisis, Dugan said. Year-round, layered monitoring has clinical labs reporting seasonal influenza and novel cases.
"Laboratories are ready to help with testing," Dugan said.
Specimens should be collected as soon as possible from patients with flu symptoms. A nasopharyngeal swab is recommended with a nasal swab combined with an oropharyngeal swab. If a patient has conjunctivitis with or without respiratory symptoms, both a conjunctival swab and a nasopharyngeal swab should be collected.
People with severe respiratory disease should also have lower respiratory tract specimens collected.
Standard, contact, and airborne precautions are recommended for patients presenting for medical care who have illness consistent with influenza and recent exposure to birds or other animals.

Me: Just have to get a new virus out of the Lab and off we go again - Covid No.2 - I wonder if Moderna will be the first one to patent it, like they did back in 2013 with their Covid-19 patent?
My FREE Salt Water Cure for Bird Flu and Covid and any other virus:
3 minutes from preparation to job done: Mix one heaped teaspoon of table (or Iodine) salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If burning sensation, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the burning sensation goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don't have any burning sensation at all, when you flush - job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), The Escutcheon Tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and it goes down the back of your throat, when infected there too.
I have been doing this simple cure for over 31 years and I am and others, never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be.
Simply put, if the inside of your nose is dry and crusty, you are OK, if your nose is runny, you really need to do a salt water sniffle as quickly as possible AND THERE IS STILL CLEAN SEA WATER, TO USE INSTEAD.
Nobody has been injured or killed by my above salt water cure
This is fiction and fabrication. The CDC has unequivocally shown they have fabricated lies and continue to do so.
The CDC is funded by Bill Gates, so Bill had a hand in the vaccines roll out, while making a killing from them - Trump on the other hand: And now we know who pulls Trump's strings: “The masterplan [to vaccinate the world] was done by none other than the Wellcome Trust, NIAID Anthony Fauci, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (specifically Dr. Chris Elias), Dr. Gao from the CDC of the People’s Republic of China and a whole host of others who sit on what is called the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board,” Dr. Martin said.

Biden was Pfizer's puppet - according to a whisteblower in Biden's office, Pfizer was in touch with Biden at least 3 times a day - I can't see Biden giving Pfizer orders, can you?
You forgot to mention that vaccines suck when created for respiratory pathogens.
not only suck, they CANNOT work...you can never ever get ahead of a respiratory virus with lockdowns or vaccine...ever..not RNA virus...ever...vaccine will never hot the antigen...its like the flu vaccine, it has never ever been effective...flu vaccine is one of the biggest rackets being run
They are not vaccines
I want to report after speaking with Edward Embury a major hog and chicken farmer, that 150 million chickens have been slaughtered during COVID in Canada alone. There is no compensation. This is a bald faced attempt at collapsing livestock farming and creating either a famine in North America or forced cricket flour as the protein replacement. The largest cricket farm in the world was quietly put online in London Ontario in 2022 when everyone was being gaslit by a FAKE PANDEMIC!!
There is still no real science proving viruses even exist. Just a failed theory that is profitable. Vaccines cause illness and disease to bolster life long profits for the healthcare and pharma industries that are all overseen by the Rockefeller foundations of science and medicine. Even Pasteur admitted on his death bed that The Germ Theory of Disease was incorrect and that Cellular Theory of Disease/Terrain theory was correct. (Antoine Beauchamp). Its all a scam for profits like most things we believe to be true. Once more good doctors like you and others start coming forth, this bullshit played on the sheep will never end as stated. Much of science in many fields has been compromised for profits rather than truth. I have worked most of my life in the University environment and fully understand how funding works. Give the funder what they want else get no funding its that simple. Truth means nothing, profits mean everything.
