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

'Also known as bird flu, the highly contagious viral disease typically spreads among birds, but can also infect livestock and, in rare cases, humans.

Government Corruption
Popcorn: Hunter Biden's Ex-Stripper Baby Mama to Publish Tell-All in August
[PJMEDIA] The 2024 United States Presidential Election Circus continues to keep all three rings busy 24/7 with stuff to watch. The one certainty that we can count on is that we are not going to be bored between now and November.

One of the biggest assists that Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
got from mainstream and social media in 2020 was the brutal effectiveness with which they swept the news of his boy Hunter's laptop under the rug. In fact, they insisted that it wasn't even real. If any of us in conservative media dared mention it, we were silenced and de-platformed. Even the New York Post got booted from social media for having the audacity to publish the very real news about it.

Whether it would have changed anything is impossible to know now, but the unmitigated sleaziness of Hunter Biden might have been off-putting to those soccer moms who flocked to his daddy in that election.

Even Joe Biden's Department of Justice head goon Merrick Garland couldn't keep Hunter away from a reckoning, although he did try. Victoria wrote the other day that the formerly fake laptop is so real that it's going to be evidence in his gun trial.

The judge in that trial ruled that many aspects of Hunter Biden's wilder days couldn't be discussed. Well, one of them is going to get some airtime later this summer.

Radar Online:

Lunden Roberts shares never-before-read details about her tumultuous relationship with first son Hunter Biden in an explosive memoir to be released this fall with dozens of stories that "make the laptop debacle seem routine," RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Roberts, who welcomed a child out of wedlock with the embattled 54-year-old, said she initially had a good impression of Hunter as a guy "I want to get to know better" after moving to Washington D.C. from Arkansas to pursue a graduate program.

DOJ reaches settlement with ex-FBI 'lovebirds' caught in anti-Trump text scandal
[FOXNEWS] Former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have settled with the Justice Department over alleged privacy rights violations after the release of their disparaging text messages leveraged by former President Trump to challenge the Russia investigation during his presidency.

The settlement is still pending finalization and approval from a judge.

A tentative agreement was filed Tuesday resolving Page's 5-year-old lawsuit against the FBI for releasing text messages with Strzok — with whom she had an affair — that were critical of the former president. Strzok's lawsuit seeking back pay and reinstatement remains unsettled.

Page sought $1,000 in compensation following the leak of her text messages to the media. Additional details about the settlement were not immediately available.

In 2019, Strzok argued in a court filing in Washington, D.C., federal district court that his politically charged anti-Trump messages were protected by the First Amendment even though he sent them on bureau-issued phones while playing leading roles in the probes into both Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
and Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
Strzok, once the FBI's head of counterintelligence, said he was entitled to "develop a full factual record through discovery," and that it would be premature to dismiss the case at this early stage. He went on to argue that the DOJ's position would "leave thousands of career federal babus government employees without protections from discipline over the content of their political speech."

Page also filed suit against the FBI and Department of Justice, alleging the government's publication of her salacious text messages with Strzok constituted a breach of the Federal Privacy Act.

Page's complaint also sought reimbursement for "the cost of childcare during and transportation to multiple investigative reviews and appearances before Congress," the "cost of paying a data-privacy service to protect her personal information" and attorney's fees.

#9  Sentencing is Thursday before the Republican convention on the 15th meaning an appeal can't be rushed through over the weekend. While that most likely means they will jail Trump and he can't be at the convention, it also means that is where he will be the most vulnerable even with secret service protection.

#19  What Bragg Albert here, and the circus ringmasters, don't understand, because they are dense retard faces, is that they have just taught the next generation that this is ok, this is how power is done.

And they have the next gen all jazzed up for power, and when they come of age, they will understand power isn't buying a judge, or a DA, or whatever, it is being that position. And they will be ruthless, they grew up with the new rules so will be cunning, and just purge but put to the wall this current crop of placeholders.

They almost got Adams and his payoffs to his secretary. Those were the old rules, these are the new.

They took the cage off the cork with the financial bull. Here they are shaking the champagne. A few more shakes and nudges and that cork will hit them in the eye and sploog all over their faces.

Something for them to think about at the sentencing and appeal.

#20  To clean this up, you have to purge the GOP first. All the FEC reports need to be reviewed for Smurf’d micro donations that comprise the politician. Everyone that is dirty ought to be charged and replaced simultaneously in special elections next summer. The Dems will be fine with it because we are wiping out GOP fixtures. Post purge, we can begin doing non-corrupt stuff in the legislature.

After that we take that Chaz Badar place that IRB has a boner for just to get him to shut up about it.

Doctor Jill: 'We Will Lose All of Our Rights' if Another Republican Gets on Supreme Court
[BREITBART] First Lady Jill Biden said Wednesday on ABC’s "The View" that we will "lose all of our rights" if another Republican is confirmed to the Supreme Court.

Sara Haines
said, "Women are likely to play a crucial role in November and we’ve heard bragging about stripping women’s reproductive rights, 14 states have a total ban on child sacrifice abortion, and now IVF is under attack. How dangerous a time is this for women, and how much worse could it get in a second or third as you mentioned Trump presidency?"

Biden said, "It could get a lot worse under a Trump presidency. I mean, you have to believe him when he uses words like dictator, bloodbath, third term, violence. We’ve seen it so when he says these words, believe him. Don’t think this isn’t going to happen."

She continued, "And women’s rights, absolutely women’s rights and IVF. I mean, we have have to have a choice. Joe wants to codify Roe and we have to. We have to fight hard so we get it back."

Biden added, "We keep thinking this won’t be taken away, but we cannot take things for granted because they can. And think of the Supreme Court for God’s sake. Talk about things getting worse. Can you imagine if we put any more Republicans on the Supreme Court? No. We will lose all of our rights. We are taking about all our rights, women’s right, gay rights."

The greatest gaslight trick is making The US is a Democracy normal conversation.

Democracy is The Mob Makes the Rules. Of course, they aren't the majority, but placeholders of system nexus. What to do, is convince the general population that are indeed the majority person on the street.

And here on cue is Jillette to start with the AWFLs.
