As a veterinarian, I am so frustrated by all the garbage circulating about this virus...and some of it coming directly from the AVMA and state VMAs as well.
I have cattle and chickens of my own and I am not concerned at all.
Question for a Veterinarian: Should I be concerned for the health of a pet parrot that rarely comes into contact with other birds except through a storm window. His primary living contacts are my wife and me. If so do you have any suggestions as to how to protect the little guy? He is very healthy and eats a high quality diet of Harrison’s Bird Diet.
I live in wild enough country that coyotes eat all the cats, so there aren’t any around. Cats are a delicacy to coyotes and I find coyote poop, particularly in my driveway.
The place where I live doesn’t allow hunting except a very carefully controlled state sponsored, in my case oddly named “urban” deer hunt designed to cull excess does. I’m hoping to get in with a local coyote hunter, but haven’t yet. The deer hunts have been very effective. It’s not unusual to flush a doe going out in the morning, but you can have too many. The town where I used to live about 40 miles away had an urban deer hunt too. My place had the kind of view that alpha bucks like and before the hunt I had a buck manure problem that made mowing difficult.
Kind of what I planned. I just wondered if there was any possibility of transmission as my little subdivision has a gaggle of semi wild, semi tame ducks that graze in the golf course for slugs and swim in lakes where I paddle.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend much. I am not an exotics/bird specialist. I have backyard chickens, which are vastly different than a parrot. Any advice I would give would be something you could google.
Thanks for your reply. I definitely know avian vets are specialists. Just saw an opportunity and thought I would ask. I imagine the best thing is to avoid contact with the local semi wild semi pet ducks and clean up good if I go paddling where they might have been. I’m in a medium sized farming area that has been producing beef since the French and Indian War too, but I just drive by the fields.
But something I don’t see spoken of on this topic is the role of environmental pollution on viral transmission, and disease presentation.
A study came out in 2022 showing how birds that were exposed to the toxin mercury were five times higher to test positive for the bird flu.
The mercury was disrupting the birds innate immune function, which facilitated viral transmission.
It’s a shame that we have a healthcare system focused on treating disease after the fact rather than identifying causation and mitigating risk factors.
the Bird Flu issue is being discussed on Bannon's Warroom hosted by Natalie Winters this evening (7-2-24). Noor bin Laden is discussing the rollout in Finland. This occurred while I was reading your substack.
Totally agree. No difference in humans. As immune system deteriorates, pathogens become more invasive. What is missing in the medical profession is to support MAINTAINING AND BOOSTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM as the number one defense against all pathogens. That is not the route that grows Big Pharma.
The problem is, once the immune system has been compromised and pathogens have dug in, boosting immune function results in an acute cell-mediated inflammatory response.
A person goes from the frying pan to the fire in terms of symptom presentation.
So.. is it the wrong method of boosting the immune system that causes this issue.
The lack of early treatment for Covid was denied and then the fire storm was created and it was too late? Have we not accepted the fact that alternative treatment with off the shelf Rx drugs and nutrient supplementation worked? Reversed the potential for a fire storm? Why is the medical community silent in regards to the negative impact of trace toxins in our food supply and environment that contribute to the issue as well as depletion of key nutrients required for optimum immune system function?
I agree there is a point of no return, but I believe we are growing that issue with poor medical treatments and lack of addressing the root causes. Mandatory reading of the research paper "Lifestyle Medicine, A Brief review" NIH 2017 highlights this issue of why over 50% US population deals with inflammatory conditions. Well worth the read. The only one benefiting from the status quo is the medical community which is now at 20% of GDP and going to 25% or 30% with what is transpiring.
There’s no such thing as “boosting” immune function IMO.
Either a person is healthy, or they aren’t.
If a person isn’t healthy, restoring immune function will bring underlying latent infections out which will generate a proper acute response.
They they will get sick.
If an underlying pathology is happening in the liver/gallbladder, this can trigger autoimmunity.
Which will create a vicious cycle of hypersensitivity to environmental and dietary allergen responses, and reduction in a proper TH1 response… chronic illness.
In 1999 my wife acquired NHL. Went 8 rounds of chops and I defied the oncologist by boosting her nutritional base with Vit D and etc. The oncologist says to me: "I'm amazed at how well your wife is doing...and don't tell me what you are doing but keep it up". In remission for almost ten years until she was prescribed IMMUNE SUPPRESSING drugs. Look up Pfizer's TROVAN. One of the worst antibiotics that suppresses the immune system. CIPRO is another. It was 8 rounds of chemo because the drug man convinced the oncologists that 8 may be better than 6. Wrong. They discontinued the practice because patients were dying faster! Complicated issue with many negative factors contributing to the development and expression of these diseases. Shingles which is acquired with chicken pox is kept in remission because of a strong immune system. Shingles events are growing because of immune systems becoming more compromised. Merck's answer is an injection. Not identifying the root causes. Who knows what man made chemicals creates the auto immune issue? My view.
Another Way to look at it is to realize that the chemo industry drives the food industry and the beneficiary. It’s a medical industry. Humans are complex biochemical human beings, and when foreign chemicals are introduced into the body, it changes biological function and as we are experiencing is that it is becoming overwhelming!
We went 100 years from the Spanish Flu pandemic to the Covid-19 "pandemic". Now we're told to expect pandemic, or at least epidemic, infections every couple of years just to keep things stirred up, IMO. It defies logic that as a species we've become so weak that every virus will probably kill us all off unless we all submit to the latest vaxx, and phoney non vaxx preventative (masks, social distancing, etc) measures.
This is all designed as a devisive tool to keep us on our back foot and afraid.
I have no more fear of dying from a pandemic today than I did in 2018. The world needs to return to rationality.
Some say many of the Spanish Flu deaths were related to people overdosing on aspirin. The young and healthy were conspicuously hard hit during the Spanish Flu. And many of the symptoms described match aspirin overdosing instead of a bad flu.
It would make sense that a younger generation fell hardest for big pharma marketing.
Thank you for the detailed summary. We must bear in mind who will profit from this nascent pandemic scaremongering. …as well as who benefits politically…
Give me a break this is an election year and there has to be some type of mitigation for the projected Trump landslide what else is the Administrative State to do have honest elections. We might even need a monkeypox outbreak to even the odds
I’ve been thinking about this of late, since election fear ramped up, and I don’t think H5N1/bird flu is the vector; we’re 4 months from possible Armageddon (demonratz, not normals), they pushed the Chai-Nah Plague issue for 2x that period along with their other specious claims in the run up to 11/2020. Additionally, I think the American populace has been inoculated against health/pandemic scares for at least a while longer; my concern is that 💩 💩 🧠 (sorry, disrespectful, I meant President 💩 💩 🧠) and whoever is pulling his strings will force a military conflict/incident/issue right BEFORE the election that’ll give these [. ? .] people an in to messing with the election, cancelling/pausing the election, tying Trump to the conflict, etc blah blah blah. We’ve never had an outside threat RIGHT before an election nor with the inroads THESE people have in our government. We have the tech today to create a credible association of [SOMEONE’s/ANYONE’s] involvement in a credible threat sufficient that enough people might sit out or shift votes.
They are up to some thing, it could be anything or multiple events. They know we know that they are up to no good. They also know that people like my friends and one brother believe in their 'save democracy' and how large that group is, is anyone guess.
When the CDC endorses injecting everyone from 6 months and older, it speaks volumes that they are ignoring the great harm that has been done and will be done. Maintaining fear of of death from pathogens is the goal so we continue to accept the injections. Here is their latest RNA update from the CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/recommendations.html
Today's headlines imply planning. Didn't read the article but the headline advised Covid cases are increasing exponentially. Anything to pry attention away from the events of this day. Other articles (by the Administrative State?) on the horrors the repeal of Chevon would bring. Many truly insane imaginings.
One would think the sky is falling with their deranged assessment of the latest rulings. They must really believe that those that read or listen to them have no brains. As for the fearporn, if enough of their followers fall for it, I don't think it matters what we do.
We have Dem House reps suggesting Brandon kill the conservative SC members. 6 by their count.
As for the rule of law, nothing the SC says is followed if they don't like it. Not only 12+ million illegals flooding the country, they also are flying back people who were declared ineligible and deprted in previous administrations, Searching them out overseas and then flying them back. Or at least 3 new programs dissolving student loans after the SC said that was illegal. They scream science, but won't reveal their scientific evidence,, should it even exist. How long did Falsy simply proclaim their edicts, which we were to believe on bended knee and bowed head.
A little on student loans, from the Mises Institute, a reverse Marxist Robin Hood:
"it makes sense why his student debt forgiveness programs are not garnering support. In lay terms, with these programs, Biden is, essentially, taking money from people (non-college-educated voters) struggling with a demonstrably bad economy who may or may not vote for him and then giving that money to people who not only outearn that first group, but who are also already likely to vote Democrat anyway. In a way, it is like he is trying to be some kind of reverse Marxist Robin Hood, but instead of being beloved by the people, he is instead beloved by the nobles, even though the people are actually the ones who can keep him in office. "
That’s a good way to put it. Holds true for many things that the USG does. I got a email from Mises this morning looking for donations to get its new documentary, Playing with Fire: Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve out the door before the election and to celebrate Lew Rockwell’s 80th BD. Here is the trailer: https://vimeo.com/970787658
I've caught a few comments on radio inferring Sotomeyor, in her opposition, generated some of these fears. Whomever whatever they're well over the top.
It's crazy. The new COVID vaccines for the 2024-2025 season haven't even been developed yet, let alone tested, but CDC already knows that they are "safe and effective." Wow, they know the future. I wish they'd tell me what PowerBall number to buy...
Sometimes your writing goes too deep for me to follow and the main points go “over my head”.
The military uses an “executive summary” to great effect. If I trust the author, I read the main points. The long form detailed analysis is there to back up all assertions, but I don’t need to read 30 minutes to get 10 minutes of takeaways.
Thank you for this timely Spot On report analyzing the current status of the bird flu threat.
It appears HHS is acting on an assumption that they have the details needed to produce a 'safe and effective' 'vaccine' to avert a human bird flu pandemic.
In that there have been studies that reported on specific ways to modify bird flu viruses into pandemic contenders, one has to wonder whether this is of potential concern.
Thank you too for your suggestions for us to consider in terms of personal actions to take and not take at this point.
Discussing this with my wife and the subject of " bottom line" comes up and it occurs to me with this and related subjects there are simply too many bottom lines. Hard to suss out just who is pushing what for why. Too many cooks in this kitchen.
I wonder why Geert Vanden Bossche isn't making any comments on this, as he is no doubt paying attention. Perhaps it doesn't fit with his other "predictions".( He even suggested the mandate of antiviral drugs in highly vaccinated countries. May 31) We need all the accurate information available to not get bamboozled again. This concise overview is exactly what is needed, I'm grateful for the timely information from someone I can trust.

Well, I would keep him caged around cats, for sure.

sounds like a great place to tune in your rifle scope!
The place where I live doesn’t allow hunting except a very carefully controlled state sponsored, in my case oddly named “urban” deer hunt designed to cull excess does.

Think about that for a minute. Now don't be embarrassed for asking your question. Just leave your bird alone and carry on as usual.
Kind of what I planned. I just wondered if there was any possibility of transmission as my little subdivision has a gaggle of semi wild, semi tame ducks that graze in the golf course for slugs and swim in lakes where I paddle.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend much. I am not an exotics/bird specialist. I have backyard chickens, which are vastly different than a parrot. Any advice I would give would be something you could google.

Essentially, here are 21 reasons for you to NOT freak out about what the media is telling you about Bird Flu.
Remember folks, we know they’re lying, that’s their job. Let’s not fall for it:

thank you
Thank you as always sir!
Fear, Free, FEAR, is all this f*cking Biden administration can provide.
ANYTHING TO STEAL THE ELECTION AGAIN, EH???
Thanks for providing this, Doc! And thanks for taking all the sh*t you do so you can provide us THE TRUTH!
Exactly!

I have read the same thing! The aspirin prevented fever from curing them and they died from pneumonia.
The opposite of Love is not hate, it is Fear.
Thank you for the detailed summary. We must bear in mind who will profit from this nascent pandemic scaremongering. …as well as who benefits politically…
They won’t stop with the mRNA until they’re held accountable for adverse reactions. The level of denial in the scientific community is astounding.
Thanks for shedding light on this important new (non)crises. This needs to be heard loud and clear.

Yeah
I grow’d up, matured years ago
Gave up on democracy when I realized it included people
Now, I advocate republicanism; which is prolly a good thing since we LIVE in a REPUBLIC 😂
Lord have mercy: education these days just sux
Education looks and feels like indoctrination. I wonder why that is. The Republic looks and feels like Communism. I don't wonder why that is.
