Historical concerns about the lethality of bird flu to humans have consistently proven
unfounded, with no recorded deaths in the U.S. from such outbreaks, despite significant
government spending and public warnings in the past

Recent discussions around "global biosecurity" and the potential for disease outbreaks to
foster a totalitarian world government have intensified. A weaponized bird flu could be
the next major threat

Recent cases of bird flu affecting various mammals, including livestock and pets,
suggest the virus may be adapting to new hosts, raising alarms about its potential impact
on humans

In March 2024, the first case of bird flu in livestock was found in a goat in Minnesota.
That same month, infected cows were identified in Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Idaho
and Michigan. Three cats have also reportedly died from H5N1 infection, and one
individual who came into close contact with infected cows has tested positive after
presenting with conjunctivitis (pink eye)

Current countermeasures against bird flu, such as culling infected and exposed animals,
hinder the development of natural immunity. Smaller flock sizes and better management
would also reduce the disease risk
