[[{“value”:”The fear of bird flu has taken off in response to two more people cases of H5N1 avian influenza.
According to ABC News, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is “preparing for the possibility of increased risk to people health” from bird flu.
The very deadly bird flu virus that was linked to a case of dairy cows has been confirmed by the CDC. A Michigan farmworker, according to World News Tonight, recovered from the virus after exhibiting moderate symptoms.

Per ABC News:
After H5N1 avian influenza was found in a child returning from Victoria, Australia has the second human case of one particular strain of the bird flu.
The child returned to the country in March after becoming unwell and testing positive for the avian influenza, also known as bird flu.
The spokesperson stated that the child had a serious infection but is now recuperating fully and is restless.
” Contact tracing has never found any additional cases of avian influenza related to this case.”
The department reassured the public that there were “very few” chances of extra individual cases.
Unsurprisingly, the United States federal government is preparing to develop bird flu vaccines.
According to reports, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS) will move forward with a plan to produce 4.8 million doses of H5N1 avian influenza vaccine.

” Dawn O’Connell, JD,” according to” Dawn O’Connell, JD,” said health officials have located a manufacturing line at one of its manufacturing partners for fill-and-finish steps, without obstructing the seasonal flu vaccine’s production. Currently, the vaccine is in bulk form and will be produced in multidose vials”, the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy ( CIDRAP ) stated.
Apparently, Pfizer and Moderna are reportedly in talks to develop a potential bird flu vaccine.
Per CIDRAP:
She claimed that filling and finishing the vaccine doses would take some time, which would save time in the event that a vaccine is required. According to national health officials, one of two H5N1 candidate vaccine viruses is properly matched to the circulating strain.
O’Connell added that governmental agencies are engaged in discussion about what the key triggers would be for the distribution of H5N1 vaccine doses. She added that discussions are also ongoing with mRNA vaccine producers Pfizer and Moderna, and that a decision on how the companies might be involved in the development of vaccines is anticipated immediately.
Potential trigger factors, according to Nirav Shah, MD, JD, principal deputy director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ), include a change in transmission propensity, such as human-to-human spread, as well as any sign of increased illness severity.
He added that a change in the cases ‘ complexion, such as the development of H5N1 infections in people without any direct epidemiologic ties to disturbed dairy farms, might be a trigger. ” And we’re always looking for mutations”, Shah said. ” We’re in rich discussions across federal agencies”.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden made an effort to quell any possible panic caused by the bird flu fear propaganda, noting that the two cases of human bird flu in America were” only red eye.”
” So far, only red eye in 2 farmers. And if it turns into something more serious, no one will listen … they’ve destroyed all credibility”, Bowden stated.
” Also, HHS is talking about the new mRNA platform bird flu product with Moderna and Pfizer.” They have destroyed all credibility”, Dr. Kat Lindley added.

The Defender reports:
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported that farm workers who had developed symptoms of the H5 avian flu case were able to track down and contact health officials, according to CIDRAP.
The worker’s nasal swab tested negative for H5 influenza, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ), which reported only the second human case of bird flu infection this year. However, a good test on an eye swab revealed an eye infection similar to one that was reported in April in Texas.
However, Michigan’s agriculture department reported another H5N1 avian flu outbreak in a dairy herd, bringing the total number of afflicted farms in the state to 19. The virus was discovered at three additional dairy farms before in the week in Gratiot County, where it most recently erupted.”}]] [[{“value”:”
The fear campaign against bird flu has reached a new level with the reports of two more human cases of H5N1 Avian Influenza.
ABC News reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is preparing for “the possibility of increased risk to health” due to bird flu.
The CDC confirmed a second case of highly contagious bird influenza virus in humans linked to an outbreak among dairy cows. Health officials said a Michigan farmworker recovered following mild symptoms and likely contracted the disease from infected animals,” World News Tonight reported.

Australia has recorded the first human case of a particular strain of bird flu. H5N1 was detected in an Australian child returning home from Victoria.
The Victorian Department of Health confirmed that the child returning to Australia became ill in March, and then tested positive for avian flu (also known as bird influenza).
The spokesperson stated that “the child suffered a severe infection, but is now well and has recovered fully.”
“Contact tracing did not identify any other cases of avian flu connected to this case.”
The Department assured the community that there was “very little” chance of an additional human case.

“Dawn O’Connell JD said health officials had identified a manufacturing facility at one of their manufacturing partners that could be used for fill-and finish steps without disrupting the production of seasonal influenza vaccine. The vaccine is currently in bulk form and it will be produced into multidose vials,” University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy stated.
Pfizer and Moderna are reportedly in discussions to manufacture a possible bird flu vaccine.
Per CIDRAP
She said that it takes two months to fill the vaccines and finish them, which would save a lot of time if a vaccine was needed. Federal health officials have stated that one of two H5N1 vaccine candidate viruses is well matched with the circulating strain.
O’Connell said that discussions are ongoing across federal agencies to determine the key triggers for the deployment of H5N1 doses. She said that discussions with mRNA vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna are still ongoing, with an announcement on how these companies could be involved in the development of vaccines expected soon.
Nirav Shah, MD JD, principal assistant director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that potential trigger factors could include a change of transmission propensity such as human-tohuman spread in addition to animal–to–human spread and any sign an increased severity of illness.
He said that a change in the appearance of the cases could be a trigger. For example, H5N1 infections may appear in people with no epidemiologic link to affected dairy farms. Shah said, “We’re always on the lookout for mutations.” “We are in rich discussions with federal agencies.”
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden tried to calm any fears that might arise from the propaganda surrounding bird flu, by pointing out that the two cases of human bird flu in the United States were “just pinkeye.”
“So far only two farmers have pink eye. If it becomes more serious, nobody will listen… They’ve lost all credibility,” Bowden said.

CIDRAP reported that the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services confirmed that the H5 avian influenza case in a dairy farmer was identified by ongoing public health measures, which allowed farmworkers to monitor and notify officials if they developed any symptoms.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the nasal swab of the worker tested negative for H5 flu. A positive eye swab, however, indicated an eye infection similar in nature to the case reported in Texas in April.
Michigan’s Agriculture Department reported a second H5N1 outbreak in a herd of dairy cows, bringing the total affected farms in Michigan to 19. The latest outbreak was in Gratiot County. Earlier in the week, the virus had been found on three other dairy farms.
