At least they're not promising a species-jump to humans. Yet.

 

No species jump, just a big jump in chicken & turkey prices after they slaughter millions of birds.

So Peter McCullough thinks that the Powers That Be are going to turn the Marburg virus into the next orchestrated pandemic. He may be right;

How do you get to be a "Powers that Be". Seems like a sweet gig!

The head of the World Health Organization warned that the world must prepare for the next pandemic, which could be “even deadlier” than the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a meeting of the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday, director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sounded an alarm that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over.

“The threat of another variant emerging that causes new surges of disease and death remains,” Tedros said. “And the threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential remains.”

“We cannot kick this can down the road,” Tedros said in an address to the WHO’s member states. “If we do not make the changes that must be made, then who will? And if we do not make them now, then when?”

 

Ah, there it is. The WHO is tired of waiting for humanity to give it dictatorial powers.

Not a pandemic, per se;

So the latest thing we're supposed to worry about is the Cicadapocalypse as the 13-year and 17-year broods emerge at once for the first time since 1803.

In certain parts of the Midwest, they're going to have a very crunchy time once the weather warms up enough for the cicadas, sometime in May or June.

"2024 will be a particularly special year as Brood XIII (Northern Illinois Brood) and Brood XIX (Great Southern Brood) will emerge at the same time," Popular Mechanics reported, "and because of their close proximity, these cicadas will likely encounter each other once they emerge."

 

I've been around a cicada season once before, and the noise level can be deafening.

Never thought about it before, but freshwater fish such as largemouth bass might gain a heckuva lot of weight and size this summer, at least in parts of the country.

DISTRESSING new images show animals being infected with deadly pathogens at a US lab with ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Photos and footage obtained by watchdog White Coat Waste show scientists at the Rocky Mountain Lab sedating monkeys and pigs - and carrying out experiments with deadly viruses.

White Coat Waste has described the lab as a "bioagent superlab" that infects animals with highly contagious and deadly diseases - such as Ebola, Lassa fever, Nipah, and even the plague.

There is no suggestion the footage shows any illegal activity at the facility run by the US government's National Institutes of Health - but the lab has come under scrutiny in recent months.

Last year, White Coat Waste revealed that the lab was experimenting with SARS-like viruses just a year before the Covid outbreak as part of a collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

A man in Texas has been hospitalized with anthrax in an 'unusual case' after butchering a dead lamb and cooking its meat. 

The individual, in his 50s, said the animal had been healthy on his ranch but died suddenly, prompting him to prepare the meat and eat it with two other people.

A week later, however, he was admitted to the hospital suffering from blistering, swelling, and rotting black skin on his right arm.

Animal dies suddenly for no apparent reasons = let's eat it.

Top quality people.

That is the downside of modern medicine. In the old days, people this stupid just died.

People in the old days were tougher, had tougher immune systems.  Dead lamb equals food we wouldn't have had.

As the alleged disease allegedly spreads from poultry farm to dairy farm more and more chickens are being culled and cows slaughtered. This is going to escalate even further soon, when governments start paying farmers to destroy their cattle.

 

 

Quote

 

Translation: They want to pay farmers to test their cows, then “financially compensate” them when they have to be destroyed. This is just like the UK’s “Environmental Land Management” schemes or the US “Conservation Reserve Program”, both of which pay farmers not to farm. The goal will be to make it more profitable for farmers to kill their cows than milk them.

Incentivizing testing, rewarding positive results. That’s how you make a pandemic out of nothing, and sabotage the food system in the process.

A never-before-seen fungus that can infect humans has been detected in China.

Two men, in their 60s and 80s, have already died while infected with the pathogen, called R. fluvialis, though it's unclear if the fungus contributed to their deaths.

Researchers at Nanjing Medical Center who made the discovery fear others may also have contracted the disease, which is a type of yeast.

In an experiment in mice, R. fluvialis was shown to mutate rapidly, suggesting the same could happen in humans if it becomes widespread.

 

There is a fungus among us.

There has been probably forever.

PARIS, Oct 15 (Reuters) - France has raised its risk level of bird flu to 'moderate' from 'negligible', it said in a decree published in the official journal on Tuesday, a move that will reinforce security measures around poultry farms.

The ministry said the change in status was linked to a rise in the number of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in several neighbouring countries, raising the possibility of migratory birds passing on the virus while passing through France.

An “undiagnosed” flu-like disease has killed dozens of people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in recent weeks.

There have been at least 376 cases reported since Oct. 24 of patients experiencing fevers, headaches, and runny noses, in addition to difficulty breathing and anemia, according to Jean Kaseya, the director general of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health officials have started referring to the illness as “Disease X.” 

The Africa CDC has recorded a total of 79 deaths caused by the illness, but local officials told Reuters and the Associated Press that 143 have died.

 

The DRC seems to be a favorite testing ground for American pharmaceuticals. For example;

More than 300 live virus samples went missing from an Australian state-run laboratory in the province of Queensland in what public health officials have deemed a “major breach” of biosecurity.

Queensland Health Minister Tim Nicholls announced Monday that his department is launching an investigation into the 323 virus samples that went missing from the state virology laboratory in 2021 after a freezer storing the samples broke down.

Nicholls told reporters that the security breach was discovered in August 2023 and that it has taken a year for his department to get accreditation from federal agencies to launch the investigation.

The majority of the vials contained samples of lyssavirus, which can cause rabies. Nearly 100 of the missing vials contained Hendra virus, which has a 57% fatality rate among the few human cases since the illness was discovered in the mid-1990s. Two of the vials contained Hantavirus, which also has a high fatality rate.

The good thing is that Australia is an island, so once Aussies start dropping like flies, the rest of the world can shoot down any airliners trying to take off.

Hopefully, military academies will make 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later required viewing. If not...
