JUST IN - Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield says, "It's not a question of if, it's more of a question of when we will have a bird flu pandemic."
"I'm less concerned that this will happen through spillover and evolution in animals, I'm much more concerned that this will happen in the laboratory through gain-of-function research ... I can create this virus literally in weeks to months."
We need an immediate global moratorium on all H5N1 GOF research and thorough investigations into all laboratories conducting this research, as well as the companies that are funding or have funded it, including the Gates Foundation.
ACCORDING TO COPILOT:
Yes, gain-of-function (GOF) research has been conducted with bird flu viruses. In 2011, scientists in the United States and the Netherlands engineered H5N1 avian influenza viruses to spread between mammals. This type of research aims to understand how viruses might behave in humans and can potentially increase the threat posed by these viruses. However, such experiments raise safety and ethical concerns, as they could lead to accidental releases or deliberate misuse. The risks associated with GOF research on highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses have been a topic of debate

AUSTRALIA IS PREPARING FOR THE BIRD FLU EPIDIMIC 😶
ACCORDING TO COPILOT:
Yes, Australia is actively preparing for the bird flu epidemic. The country is currently dealing with an unprecedented outbreak, with multiple strains of avian influenza detected across several states.
Here are some key measures being taken:
Surveillance and Testing: Extensive testing and tracking are being conducted to monitor the spread of the virus.
Biosecurity Protocols: Strict biosecurity measures are in place, especially in affected areas, to prevent further spread.
Vaccination Research: Funds have been allocated to explore the potential for commercial avian influenza vaccines.
Public Awareness: Authorities are urging poultry farmers and backyard chicken owners to implement strong biosecurity practices.
These efforts aim to control and eventually eradicate the outbreak, protecting both the poultry industry and public health.
