Cattle Ranchers and Dairy Farmers Refuse “Bird Flu” Testing
Americans are “quiet quitting” pandemic madness related to bird flu and covid. Meanwhile, the World Health Organizations just put 24 diseases on the pandemic watch list … including the Black Death.
The last time we checked on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), better known as the “bird flu,” ten Colorado poultry workers had developed symptoms of bird flu (mainly pink eye).
Cattle that are infected continue to have only mild symptoms. There is currently no evidence than humans can catch this disease except through the direct contact with the body fluids of infected animals.
It appears America’s cattle ranchers and dairy farmers are quiet-quitting pandemic madness, and are not testing their animals.
Reuters spoke with more than a dozen researchers, veterinarians, farmers, and livestock industry groups to understand whether the bird-flu spread in dairy cattle is being accurately tracked.
State animal and human health experts in three states who work closely with veterinarians and farmers said the government tally is likely an undercount because farmers are fearful of the economic hardship brought by a positive test, including being restricted from selling their milk or cattle for weeks.
The virus reduces milk production in cattle. The U.S., the world’s second-largest cheese producer after the European Union, is the only country with known infections in cows.
“While we have nine official positives, there are many, many, many more farms that are impacted or infected that are just not testing,” said Joe Armstrong, a veterinarian and cattle expert at the University of Minnesota, who has spoken with farmers across the state.
A more accurate cattle case count for Minnesota would be three to five times higher, Armstrong said.
It must also be noted, Americans have stopped racing to get covid tests whenever they have cold-like symptoms. Public health officials are now resorting to sampling sewage to gauge how many people have covid.
Despite the complete lockdown of society, in some places for over two years, in the attempt to end covid, there appears to be a lot of covid in many places.
With U.S. citizens and municipalities now a less reliable source of data, experts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have turned to the sewers to monitor the presence of infectious disease in our wastewater.
The results of those tests can provide an early warning system, according to the CDC, as trace amounts of the virus will register even before someone experiences symptoms. It takes about five to seven days for the flush of the toilet to yield results, the CDC says.
States that made “very high” list, as of August 9, include: California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas, Missouri, Idaho, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Minnesota, Maryland, New Mexico, Colorado, Massachusetts and Virginia.
Sewage appears to be the go-to source for samples now. Wastewater in this country is also being tested for monkeypox and was detected in a sample from San Francisco.
The mpox virus has been detected in San Francisco’s wastewater, after the disease was declared a “public health emergency of international concern” by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WastewaterSCAN Dashboard, a public health tool used to monitor infectious diseases within communities, shows that mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, was detected in southeast San Francisco on July 26, August 11 and August 12.
It is important to note that it is not clear whether these detections come from human sources.
Humans have an immune system for a reason. Perhaps it is time to embrace the idea that there is no way to 100% vaccinate people or animals to completely prevent all illness at all times.
Sensible public health officials and sound medical practitioners should press for rethinking where vaccines should belong in the spectrum of healthcare.
We also need to put a check on global officials, who are busy expanding pandemic watchlists with an eye to expanding their power and influence.
The Black Death plague, bird flu and mpox are among 24 threats that have been added to an influential watchlist of the pathogens that could trigger the next pandemic.
In the first update since Covid-19 swept the planet, a World Health Organisation (WHO) panel has dramatically expanded the scope of its index of so-called priority pathogens.
Already notorious diseases like Zika, yellow fever and avian influenza have been added, alongside lesser known threats such as Sin Nombre virus – which jumps from deer mice to people and has a fatality rate of 30 per cent in the US. Several bacteria, including cholera, the plague and salmonella, have also been incorporated for the first time.
As a historian, I am going to have to say its a bit late to be adding the Black Death. It has already hit humanity in a number of waves, and we currently have effective antibiotic treatments.
2020 was a terrible year, but it's still far from being the worst in recorded human history. Here are a few bad ones:
1349 was the peak of the Black Death, which killed an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Europe, Eurasia, and North Africa. It is considered the deadliest… pic.twitter.com/3szaPcUHmo

The WHO announcement is now receiving some richly justified mocking.

“Public health officials are now resorting to sampling sewage to gauge how many people have covid.”
Why aren’t they telling us how many people are now hospitalized for, or dying from, Covid? Surely, people seriously impacted by Covid are still seeking medical help and the worst cases are hospitalized. But the stats musn’t be sufficiently frightening.
Just one more reason I’m so happy to have a private well and septic system. Stir through someone else’s poop, ya vultures.
Well & septic is the same for me. While i do not keep livestock, I do find cows faces attractive, in spite of Michelle Obama’s uncanny likeness. Yet she is so ugly. I wound is that is her inner nature shining through.
The numbers of people who died FROM the Chinese Death Pox as opposed to those who died WITH the Chinese Death Pox was always minuscule. In fact you would have to have had very bad luck to have died FROM the Chinese Death Pox even back in the day when it was the scariest thing on the face of the planet. You’d have to have been not just a morbidly obese fat kient or incredibly frail and on the way out already BUUUUUT also incredibly unhealthy and suffering from multiple serious health threats.
But yeah, lets keep vaccinating children and young people and pretend its a serious health risk.
That is not true. Huge numbers of people did die OF Wuhan disease, not just with it. Not nearly as many as we were told, but enough. Yes, almost all of them had risk factors that made them particularly vulnerable to it, but they didn’t die of those risk factors, they died of the virus.
When a 90-year-old dies of pneumonia, we say he died of pneumonia, not of being 90, even though had he been younger the pneumonia would probably not have killed him. Being 90 didn’t kill him, it just made him more vulnerable to the pneumonia. The same applies to Wuhan disease. The young and healthy resisted it; those who were neither young nor healthy succumbed to it.
And yes, most of them would likely have been dead by now anyway, but that doesn’t make it okay that they died months or even several years earlier than they would otherwise have done.
So let’s not panic, but let’s also not dismiss what we all saw with our own eyes. It was a terrible time, a terrible disease, but certain parties found it convenient to exaggerate its impact, and the overreaction did more damage than the disease itself.
rue enough, to a poin.
There were SO MANY options to mitigate bth cnrat4ing the disease and in dealing with it once infected.
Taking zinc and a couple oher simple harmless readily available (until THEY found out they were effective in preventing and curing the WooFlew) to strengthen and equip one’s natural immune system to deal with the disease.
The whole madness about “horse dewormer” and covid made me laough real lout for a long time. Most mammals have very similar immune systems, and pathogens are, in general, equal opportunity destroyers.
Used to know a gal who worked at a drug manufacturing plant. Her job was boring, but necessary. She ran the “form fill and seal” machine which packaged the drugs made here. Packaing film with all the data, insructions, etc was on a long roll. The machine would take that roll, form a section into a pouch, fill that pouch with the designated produc, then seal it and drop it onto a small belt whtih trundled it off and dropped the specified number of pouches into a waiting carton. The hopper holding the prduct would hold around a thousand pounds. SO she’s run the designated number of human targetted antibiotic, for example, then stop the machine, reset for a different size packet, then run those. After the desired number of that size packet were run, she’d remobe the roll of packaging film and replace it with a different roll. This one had all the same product information on it, but had other markings: “FOR VETERINARY USE ONLY NO FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION”. Same product from the same big hopper. So what changed? NOTHING but the markings on the plastic film on the roll.
What a scam.We ALL know the human designated packets will cost you and I five or ten times as much as the same product for the dogs and horses.
Ive spent time in Latin America. By the time a kid is six or seven, he knows how to regocnse and identify the symptoms of malaria, and knows that if he takes two or thre dollars’ worth of the local coin and walks a fwe blocks to a “farmácia” and plops his money on the table he can walk out with a packet of little pills… hydrochloroquine, to be specific, and start taking them to cure his new case of malaria. And Phautchee and Company usured their authority to make humans taking that drug a crime, ctually took medical licnses away from doctors who ralised HCQ would mitigate strongly against the WooFlew. I even understand the mechanism by which this works. You can go and learn it if you are curious. common knowledge. The FDA are one of the most criminal organisations in the Western Hemisphere.
I used to do controls engendering for those types for machines. Also a wide variety of other automation.
We still have no accurate numbers from the lockdowns. Down here some guy fell off a ladder and died. He had Covid so they classified it as a Covid death. It was that type of nonsense that cost the Government Health Departments any credibility as people slowly stopped being afraid and realized what was going on. We were all told everyone was gonna die from Covid but they seemed to be quit a lack of bodies in the streets and people finally noticed.
In NYC there was no lack of bodies, at least at first. But by May our paramedics were telling us it was over, even while the health authorities and the government were ramping up the panic. So we listened to the people who knew what they were talking about, and reopened illegally as much as we could, and tried as best we could to get back to normal life.
NYC, most cities have the same problem as ant nests and bee hives (which I used to keep, as did my farter and grandfather)
Next up, Punitive fines for farmers who refuse pandemic panic testing
We must demand the CDC test every monkey for monkeypox…..
imagine the outcry… . 😁
I’ve been vaccinated against government lies and stupidity.
Dangerous or not, two of the people with arguably the literally best healthcare in the world, bar no one, both caught CoVid AFTER what one would presume to be every single variation of the vaccine.
Biden and Fauci.
If the vaccine(s) did not protect them, why should the rest of us place any faith in them?
That is a report that is highly suspect. Probably announced to amp up how serious the covid was. Don’t trust the lefftists and very few of the rightists. MAGA.
But isn’t the Black Death just another name for BLM?
“farmers are fearful of the economic hardship brought by a positive test, including being restricted from selling their milk or cattle for weeks.”
Really, what’s the upside? We all know the government’s overreaction is guaranteed to be much worse than the actual consequences of the disease.
Golly that’s quite the list of frightful diseases…perhaps it’s time to …secure the damn border? Maybe have more screening before folks board flights to the US? Initiate robust medical screening for everyone who seeks to enter the USA to include turning their ass around and sending them home to quarantine? Unfortunately our ‘betters’ will almost certainly choose to use moralizing rhetoric, figure signaling, TikTok dancing Nurses and try to brow beat folks into compliance again b/c they think it is gonna be easier than offending the wokiestas. I suspect that we will find out sooner or later which course our ‘betters’ decide to employ.
Here’s my pandemic plan;
For mpox; tell gays to keep their penises out of the anuses of men with mpox.
For bird flu: tell illegal aliens working on farms to keep their penises out of contact with infected chickens or cattle.
For Black Death; avoid living with rats or other rodents so as to not pick up their ratty fleas.
There IS a pattern here, I’m sure of it.
Say it with me….
Mon……Key…….Pox
Why hasn’t WHO changed the name of bird flu? Do monkeys have better PR consultants?
Inner cities often have pockets of residents with severe flee infestations.
Bubonic plague still exists. A man from Lincoln county NM died of it earlier this year. It still regularly wipes out prairie dog colonies.
Yes, it never went away, but it’s no longer the threat it used to be. Not only did we build up resistance to it, and not only did it mutate to become less dangerous, we also now have good treatment for those unfortunate enough to catch it. All that means that while we might see sporadic mini-outbreaks, it will never again be the mass killer that it once was.
Until WHO and the NIH decide to weaponize it.
Public health officials are now frantically searching for some disease to scare people into accepting another emergency declaration so the government can ban in-person voting in November; how about ‘avian monkey flux’ or ‘leftist brain-eating disease’?
It’s not spelled out in the post, but milk is a ‘body fluid’, so does milk contain the virus, and if so does pasteurization kill it?
IF milk and cheese are a vector, then mandating testing makes sense. Otherwise, it doesn’t, nor does banning sales. In fact, unnecessarily banning sales serves as a perverse incentive to the spread of bird flu to other herds and workers…..
One of the nurses at the clinic I go to offered me a mask even though the policy requiring patients to wear them had long since expired. When I demurred, she told me she’s just gotten over COVID.
So? That paper mask you’re offering isn’t designed to protect me, it’s designed to protect other people — and you’re already required to wear it during interactions with patients so I’m as safe as it can make me.
Plus, I survived just about every coronavirus-caused chest cold that ever went around when I was a kid, so that when I got the original, most dangerous strain of COVID-19 years ago, I was sick for exactly five days — far from the standard two weeks for a rhinovirus head cold.
And I haven’t had any kind of cold or flu since, despite refusing vaccines for COVID and the flu all these years.
Natural immunity FTW, baybay …
“The mpox virus has been detected in San Francisco’s wastewater”
This is my “shocked” face …
The CDC, WHO, NIH, and FDA have absolutely no credibility anymore. They serve the globalists.
