CDC Reports First Case of Human Bird Flu Contracted Without Exposure to Cows or Poultry

Shocking discovery, "Bird Flu" requires no birds or animals.
[LI] In our last few reports on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), otherwise known as ’bird flu,’ ten Colorado poultry workers had developed symptoms of bird flu (mainly pink eye), and California dairy cows were reported to be infected.

No cases of human infection with bird flu that couldn’t be traced to exposures to sick animals had ever been reported. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now says a patient in Missouri was hospitalized with bird flu despite having no known contact with animals.
OR they were too embarrassed to actually report the "contact" they had?
The patient, who had underlying medical conditions, was successfully treated with antiviral medications at the hospital and has since been discharged, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS).

This marks the 14th person (in three states) to contract bird flu in the U.S. this year — and the first infection to occur without any reported exposure to sick or infected animals, the CDC alert stated.

The prior 13 cases came after exposure to dairy cows or poultry.

Dr. Benjamin Anderson, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental and Global Health at the University of Florida, said the fact that an individual has tested positive for H5 without any reported animal exposure is "very concerning," but noted that very little is known about the case.

"We don’t know if the individual had indirect exposure to people or products from agricultural settings," he told Fox News Digital.

Ignorance is bliss.

#2 Here's a thought game.
Viruses are not considered alive by most definitions.
That would mean it's simply out there once it has been distributed via various means of contraction.
It really doesn't go away.
Rather the population develop an immunity or resistance to it.
Now introduce a 'jab' that reduces immunity among that population, then the virus can once again make its appearance among the population.

#5 #3 I certainly had something in early August that closely resembled the flu. Of course a lot of bodily discomforts have flu like symptoms. So, it might not have been, but it felt like it.

#8 CDC was the gold standard up until they endorsed Floyd riots during covid.

Now they are just another bunch of politically connected hacks who couldn't make in the private sector.

#12 why would you get BIRD FLU from a cow

Some animals are known as "reservoirs". The virus can live in them but they don't get sick and can spread disease through contact or mosquitos. Pigs are notorious for this.
