Michigan farmer becomes third American to be infected with H5N1 bird flu - as Biden tells vaccine makers to start preparing for pandemic

I’ll worry when they document human-to-human transmission.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A dairy farm worker in Michigan has become the third person in the US to be infected with bird flu in the current outbreak.

The patient suffered from cold like symptoms such as a cough, which is the first time this has been reported in relation to this outbreak, as well as watery discharge from their eyes, similar to the previous two cases.
Allergic to bird dander?
The patient has been offered the antiviral oseltamivir and told to isolate at home. None of their colleagues or household contacts have reported symptoms of an infection.

The case was revealed by the CDC, which said the worker had likely caught the virus from close contact with infected cattle on the farm.

Officials in Michigan urged farmers with symptoms of an infection to come forward for testing today — as the Biden administration revealed it was brokering a deal that would open the door to doses of a bird flu vaccine being supplied to the US.

#1 From the May 29 article, related: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a CSL influenza A vaccine in 2020, based largely on immunogenicity and safety results from a small clinical trial of 319 people.

Dr. Peter McCullough, an epidemiologist based in Texas, said on the social media platform X that without larger trials, it’s not possible to know whether the vaccine is safe or effective in humans.

Well, we have a precedent for mass testing on the general public.

#2 Bird flu is a scam
It has circulated for many decades in birds
It is NO THREAT to you or anyone you know
They just have a new mrna vax to sell
Google is paying people to sample bird poo and cow blood looking for virus
Then they report the findings creating panic
Before they looked there was no problem

#7 Quoting the Mayo clinic...
'Also known as bird flu, the highly contagious viral disease typically spreads among birds, but can also infect livestock and, in rare cases, humans. "Avian influenza is very common among migratory birds such as waterfowl," says Dr. Matthew Binnicker, director of the Clinical Virology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic.Apr 8, 2024

#10 It appears to be a principal eye irritant anecdotally, and a respiratory issue secondarily. Wear eye protection (which they should do anyway)
