Orofecal (eating poop) and contaminated water are the most common form of avian influenza transmission between avian species and adjoining marine species.
That’s not specific to #H5N1 or #BirdFlu - it’s a general rule of thumb for avian influenza.
#H5N1 outbreak in cattle farms appears linked to POTUS45 Farm Act legislation changes, allowing the feeding of chicken feces (poultry litter) to other farm animals.
This is a dangerous and irresponsible practice! 🐄🐔 #PublicHealthRisk #FarmPolicyFail
Canadian ranchers complain they lack the same competitive advantage as American ranchers because they must vaccinate their cows AND they cannot feed chicken feces to their cows.
Thankfully their federal government didn’t cave to greedy farmers.
The reason there were multiple dairy farm outbreaks (same #H5N1 strain) was chicken feces being fed to cows. Ground zero wasn't a dairy farm, it was a poultry farm selling poultry litter.
Step 1:
Migrating birds -> Enter US
Infected bird droppings contaminate mixed farm animal water
Step 2: Adopt mammal receptors
Wild bird poop -> Infects outdoor pigs
Dead piglets -> Fed to sows
Rats or mice around sows -> Fecal contamination of poultry feed
Poultry litter -> Outbreaks in dairy farms
Or this loop occurs several times:
Poultry litter -> Fed to goats/cows
Raw milk -> Consumed by Rats/mice
Rats fecal matter into poultry feed -> Poultry infected
Rinse and repeat
Poultry litter -> Back to goats/cows
Step 3: Large-scale poultry operation
Obtains infected poultry eggs
Incubates the eggs into chickens
Sells the chicken litter across USA
We would be stunned if pigs were not involved somewhere for this reassortment to occur. Feeding piglets to sows would make perfect sense as to why this unique influenza binding is specific to the digestive tract.
A great deal needs to go wrong for this chain of events to take place and unfortunately, POTUS45 made this chain of events possible.
Why are we so concerned about chicken litter?
1 - Nobody at USDA is testing the chicken feces for #H5N1 or admitted that chicken feces is a possible source of #BirdFlu transmission.
2 - We still haven't heard if @USDA have outlawed feeding chicken feces to other ruminants!
Substitutions/site/year are not typically this elevated in other viruses or even other HCoVs. These are bacteria-like rates of mutation, exactly because SARS-2003 and SARS-2019 both have a unique genetic recombination ability (same as bacteria). #BoxOfNails #HijackedChickenCoop
What is Genetic Recombination, and why do virologists deny that recombination can occur with SARS?
SARS hijacks mitochondria for reproduction.
Mitochondria are bacteria.
Virologists don't study bacteria.
Genetic recombination is a bacterial trait.
Genome evolution of some viruses and bacteria includes the acquisition of genetic material. Most viruses (such as influenza) viral protein acquisition within the RNA single strand (SS) or double stand (DS) DNA lineage typically occurs from "saltation".
Since we correctly prognosticated Trump would win and our epidemiological estimates correctly predicted the SARS-CoV Quasi Species swarm of 2024 - many have asked us for our prognostications for 2025. 1/
#MuzzledScientists #DontLookUP
Whilst we don't know exactly what POTUS47 will do in office, it seems inevitable that he will pull the US out of all international Public Health agreements and massively interfere with, and stop all US, UK & EU support of @WHO financing/research. #OneHealth 2/
@WHO Based on #Project2025 and those POTUS47 has surrounded himself with, it seems evident the US WH/regime will continue to wage the war POTUS45 initiated against the scientific community and Public Health. This will bleed over into the global community. 3/
Neuroinvasive
That’s the word the medical community wants to ignore, because established dogma has always stated the BBB protects the CNS from viruses.
"Common Cold" is a minimizing term to dismiss those who suffer #MECFS
Seasonal HCoV-OC43 is a beta-HCoV with neuroinvasive properties which have been minimized and dismissed by the medical community for decades.
#LongCOVID is #AirborneAIDS so #WearN95 mdpi.com/1999-4915/12/1…
All of these brain immunity functions operate outside of the CNS, except microglia. Microglia work great against bacteria and cancer. Microglia are incapable of phagocytosis against viruses.
@CDCgov CDC is downplaying the infections could be from the same source except the source remains completely unknown. Those infected weren't around livestock or drinking raw milk. These HCWs were infected well after the initial source of infection.
@CDCFlu isn't counting the household contact Missouri case in its nationwide case count!
Why?
For the same reasons these HCWs were neither tested using PCR or antibody.
Zero testing = Zero Cases = Zero Reporting.
Poultry feces fed to dairy cows.
Raw milk fed to poultry.
That's why these #H5N1 sequences are all the same.
"wild birds" spreading #TexasMooFlu is a wild conspiracy theory. Only America allows this bull manure recipe for Mad Cow to end up at McDonalds.
What do you get when Corporate Fast Food sues the Corporate Cattle, Corporate Poultry & Corporate Meat conglomerates that own the Egg & Dairy Industry over price gauging? Greedflation.
Corporate America has decimated Public Health. #DontLookUP reuters.com/legal/litigati…
If "wild birds" are such a vector for #H5N1 in dairy cows?
Why are Mexico & Canada #TexasMooFlu free?
@US_FDA has approved #H5N1 contaminated milk produced by dairy cows that were fed bird feces and other garbage swept from the floor in poultry farms. @USDA removed the mad cow rules that would have prevented #TexasMooFlu
#DontLookUP #BirdFlu
@US_FDA @USDA 150 years ago, we eradicated a wide swath of bovine pathogens using pasteurization combined with increased farm health and safety measures.
@USDA eliminated safety laws of feeding feces to cows.
@US_FDA reduced the pasteurization efficiency.
.idfa.org/pasteurization…
@US_FDA @USDA The fallacy is: any #H5N1 viral protein in milk can be considered safe. Pasteurization is great for neutralizing bacteria, not viruses. This insanity of tolerating feeding poultry feces to dairy cattle bleeds over into tolerating any #TexasMooFlu in milk.
