The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says animal-to-human transmission is rare but the study’s lead investigator calls for a closer look at the virus in rats for new strains that could infect people. There is “no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, to people”, the CDC notes on its website.

But the study’s principal investigator, Dr. Henry Wan, said the new findings highlighted the need for further examination of the risk of the virus “in rat populations to determine if the virus is circulating in the animals and evolving into new strains that could pose a risk to humans”.

Wan, director of the Center for Influenza and Emerging Infectious Diseases at the University of Missouri, said the study was one of the first to show how Covid-19 variants “can cause infections in the wild rat populations in a major US urban area”. -The Guardian

After trapping rats mostly in parks in Brooklyn and with the New York City parks department’s permission, particularly “in and around locations surrounding wastewater systems,” the study’s researchers conducted virological studies and genomic sequencing on samples from 79 rats. Of the rats studied, 13 tested positive for Covid-19. Researchers then conducted a virus challenge study and found that Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants caused infections in Sprague Dawley rats. “Overall, our work in this space shows that animals can play a role in pandemics that impact humans,” the study authors wrote, “and it’s important that we continue to increase our understanding so we can protect both human and animal health.”

• Another Outbreak: New Virus Called Langya Spread From Shrews In China

As the United States warns of animals spreading viruses to people, China has reported a human has contracted the H5N1 bird flu the media has been hyping up lately. We’ve often wondered if this bird flu will be the next scamdemic, only this time, people will actually notice it.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), H5N1 is a type of influenza virus that causes a highly infectious, severe respiratory disease in birds called avian influenza (or “bird flu”). Human cases of H5N1 avian influenza occur occasionally, but it is difficult to transmit the infection from person to person. When people do become infected, the mortality rate is about 60%.

Bill Gates and Dr. Antony Fauci, two infamous medical tyrants funded a study that claims the next “big one” will be a bird flu pandemic that will actually wipe some people out. As Gates says at 1:48 in the following video:

“We will have to prepare for the next [pandemic]. That, you know, I say…uh…will get attention this time.” And then both Melinda Gates and Bill Gates smirk as they look at the camera in anticipation.

According to the Daily Mail, the next pandemic is “only a few mutations” away. The media is still saying that H5N1 is not yet capable of spreading between people like the standard flu viruses we’re used to battling in North America during the fall and winter. Though the operable word is ‘yet’.

Avian influenza viruses don’t bind easily to human respiratory cells. Therefore, the disease is not readily transmitted from one person to another through coughing, sneezing, or droplets in the breath.

But the increasing ability of H5N1 to spread among animals and directly infect people is stoking fears that the world may be just a few genetic mutations away from another pandemic. -The Daily Mail

Have they broadcasted enough about what the next plandemic will be? Is all of this just a coincidence? Or is it a buildup to what’s coming?
