(The Economic Collapse Blog)—Officials had been greatly puzzled by a “mystery disease” that has been making dairy cattle in Texas, Kansas and New Mexico very sluggish and has been causing them to produce much less milk. So they decided to do some testing, and we now have the results. It turns out that the mystery illness is actually “the same strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that’s been in the U.S. for two years”…
A mystery illness that’s impacted dairy herds in the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico and Kansas now has a diagnosis: Influenza A. USDA says genetic sequencing revealed it’s the same strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that’s been in the U.S. for two years.
APHIS says the “National Veterinary Services Laboratories” detected Influenza “A” in samples from several impacted herds in Texas, Kansas and New Mexico. The virus is carried by wild waterfowl, which experts think is how the illness is spreading.
The experts did not think that bird flu would be a threat to dairy cattle.
Unfortunately, the experts were wrong.
Scientists were able to confirm the presence of the bird flu by testing samples of milk from sick cows…
According to USDA, as of March 25, unpasteurized, clinical samples of milk from sick cattle collected from two dairy farms in Kansas and one in Texas, as well as an oropharyngeal swab from another dairy in Texas, have tested positive for the virus.
Now that bird flu has been identified as the culprit, dairy farmers are being urged to strictly implement “all standard biosecurity measures”…
Officials are strongly advising dairy producers to use all standard biosecurity measures. They note it’s important for producers to clean and disinfect all livestock watering devices and isolate drinking water where it might be contaminated by waterfowl. Farmers are also being asked to notify their herd veterinarian if they suspect any cattle within their herd are displaying symptoms of this condition.
I was quite shocked to learn that this was happening right here in our own country.
The good news is that all milk from sick cows is being kept out of the food chain…
“Also, routine testing and well-established protocols for U.S. dairy will continue to ensure that only safe milk enters the food supply. In keeping with the federal Grade ‘A’ Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), milk from sick cows must be collected separately and is not allowed to enter the food supply chain. This means affected dairy cows are segregated, as is normal practice with any animal health concern, and their milk does not enter the food supply. Consumers in the United States and around the world can remain confident in the safety and quality of U.S. dairy,” the statement said.
Will we eventually get to a point where entire herds of dairy cows have to be killed in order to prevent the spread of the disease? Let’s hope not.
Earlier this month, we learned that a goat in Minnesota has also tested positive for bird flu…
A goat in Stevens County, Minnesota, has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), becoming the first U.S. detection of HPAI in a domestic ruminant. The goat contracted the virus after a poultry flock on the same premises was depopulated in February due to the virus. Following the confirmation of HPAI in the goat, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health quarantined all other species on the premises. The Board said is working with USDA to investigate the transmission of the virus in this case.
It appears to be just a matter of time before the bird flu starts becoming a significant threat to humans as well.
According to Dr. Chris Walzer, “dozens of mammalian species” have already been infected…
In January, Dr Chris Walzer, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Executive Director of Health, in a statement, said: “It (H5N1) has infected over 150 wild and domestic avian species around the globe as well as dozens of mammalian species. The bird flu outbreak is the worst globally and also in US history, with hundreds-of-millions of birds dead since it first turned up in domestic waterfowl in China in 1996.”
We better hope that the bird flu does not mutate into a form that can spread very easily among humans.
Because according to the NIH, bird flu can have a death rate of more than 50 percent in humans…
As of November 2022, 240 cases of human avian influenza A (H5N1) virus have been confirmed from the Western Pacific Region since 2003 with a case fatality rate of 56%.
A global bird flu crisis would be far worse than anything that we have experienced during the past several years.
Just try to imagine the panic that would ensue if H5N1 were to start killing millions of people around the world.
Hopefully that will not happen any time soon.
Earlier today, I did come across an article about a 21-year-old student in Vietnam that was just killed by H5N1…
A student in Vietnam has died of H5N1 bird flu, according to the country’s Department of Preventive Medicine.
The 21-year-old man developed symptoms of fever and a cough on March 11. A week later, he presented at Ninh Hoa Medical Center in Vietnam’s eastern Khanh Hoa province, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and transferred to Khanh Hoa General Hospital.
The student tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza on March 20, and further tests conducted two days later at the Nha Trang Pasteur Institute showed the patient was infected with the H5N1 subtype.
Let us pray that this was just an isolated incident.
Meanwhile, other pestilences continue to spread all over the planet.
For example, dengue fever has become a major problem in Brazil, and now government officials in Puerto Rico have declared a dengue fever epidemic…
On Monday, government leaders in Puerto Rico declared a dengue epidemic after a spike in cases of the mosquito-borne disease hit the island.
From the start of the year through March 10, there were 549 cases, including 341 hospitalizations and 29 severe cases, according to the most recent data provide by the Puerto Rico Department of Health. Cases are concentrated in cities including San Juan, Bayamon, Guaynabo and Carolina.
I have been repeatedly warning my readers that global pestilences would be one of the major themes of the next several years.
Bird flu has already killed hundreds of millions of birds, and now it is spreading in mammals.
A widespread bird flu outbreak among humans would have the potential to be absolutely catastrophic, and so we will want to watch this story very, very closely.
Michael’s new book entitled “Chaos” is available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.com, and you can check out his new Substack newsletter right here.
The corporate dairy farmers are giving the cows MRNA vaccines taht are causing them to be sick
Bingo
Maybe high altitude balloons are seeding herds here, good thing they don’t run into geoengineering poison spewing aircraft, it would appear food sources and citizens have been under attack for quite some time.,, oh say, since %10 Joe took grip of the rudder wheel.
Also, ‘antibiotics free’ does not equate to “vaccine” free. Our enemies will stop at nothing to take this nation down.
Believe the FEDERAL USDA….. because they are so trust worthy LOL
Not a chance. I think it’s all made up like Covid , create the chaos to usher in new regulations
and as a way to eliminate farming , ranching and meat eating…not to mention all the new vaccines and fake meat they have to market and profit from … right on schedule.
Exactly.
The Chinks.
Things like this just dont cross-infect from Avian to Mamillian willy nilly, nor does it do things like this THIS fast either, someone is ‘helping’ push the Avian flu to become more virulent and deadly.
There is no way this kind of thing can happen without seriously bad sanitation with cows and birds living together in serious unsanitary conditions, such doesnt happen with Dairy Cows, Ok? They are kept Clean for a reason, I would not be surprised the last rounds of vaccination those cows got had the H5N1 in their vaccines with the hopes of pushing cross infection.
I would not put it past the ‘Vaccine-makers’ to do the same to humans in their quest to get the perfect Pandemic.
This is no natural process. These cattle have been intentionally infected.
The “vaccine-makers”–aka the germ warfare specialists–ARE doing it, and HAVE done it to humans with their Covid shots, and WILL do it with future shots, aerosols and other contagious, weaponized agents. Our government is not our friend. In fact, they are our executioners. What was in those Chinese balloons that Biden permitted to float over our entire country–not just once, but several times?
SO THE COWS WERE POISONED THROUGH VACCINATIONS THEN? ITS THE ONLY VECTOR OF TRANSFER…. YOU ROTTEN FBI/CIA. Ambassador, Dr William Mount
The Globalist war on our food supply seems to be accelerating.
Start out by putting chlorine dioxide in their water and seeing if that helps.
Just in time for the 2024 Elections….
When people took ivermectin, FDA said “You are not a horse!”
Message to cattle: “You are not a bird!”
Has Ivermectin been tried on this infection? It does look like the covid hoax.
Gotta call BS. Yes, vows , deer and birds are getting sick. Because they’re being poisoned. They are the first consumers of GMO crops sprayed with pesticides and herbicides.
The flu is a cleansing event. Their bodies are ridding themselves of the toxins and dead, damaged cells and contaminated fluids. Ejection. The flu test nearly identifies exosomes. Cellular garbage, messengers & DNA fragments.
Pfizer is a chemical company. It produces and profits from toxic substances. And it controls the FDA, CDC, media and politicians. It uses phony flu tests to avoid being held responsible for poisoning humans and animals. For example, Polio is caused by toxins, not a virus. It never went away. They just renamed its various symptoms as other individual disease like Guillain-Barre, MS, demyelinating syndrome, etc.There are books on the subject.
Ivermectin?
When will we fight China’s germ warfare assaults on the world? When will the terrorist attacks on our food supplies be acknowledged and defended against? Gee, it’s almost as if our government WANTS the US to collapse, huh? /s
Cattle may have to be put into multilevel high rises for indoor protection. China has already started doing that for pigs, swine units. Google it, you’d be shocked.
I call BS.
Independent reporter Michael Yon reported that screwworms were being brought in with the vast numbers of illegals.
This is a misdirection to prepare for the next plandemic.
Bring on the bugs to eat and waste water treated water to drink.
This is what happens when “Scientists” play God and have NO MORAL COMPASS to NOT change genome DNA with other genome DNA.
Just another coincidence, in a long list of coincidences, to thin the human herd? Sorry, but praying won’t stop the globalists. The cure is already here. When enough people go hungry, it will be implemented.
You will eat insects and you will be happy
