US Expands Bird Flu Testing.

… Why is this a bad idea?

According to Reuters, Farm workers who have been exposed to animals with bird flu should be tested for the virus even if they do not have symptoms, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday. In fact, Nirav Shah, CDC’s principal deputy direct stated: "There may be individuals who were infected with H5 but who do not recall having symptoms. That means that we in public health need to cast a wider net in terms of who is offered a test.”

If you’ve been paying attention to what I’ve been writing about on substack and educating about on rumble.com/kevinstillwagon, you know that the presence of viral genetic material does not mean you are infected, or even will be. Why? Because they are looking for it in the wrong place; outside the body in snot and spit, where this genetic material normally gets trapped so it can be expelled from the body. The only way to know for sure if a person is infected is to find the genetic material INSIDE the body.

Even when it is found inside the body, the person might not even have symptoms. This is true of all communicable diseases, for the presence of symptoms is tied to the strength of the immune system, not the presence of the invading organism. In fact, organisms, even ones we can’t see, move between humans all the time. That’s called asymptomatic transmission. The organisms transmit between us for sure, the symptoms don’t necessarily. Let that sink in. The article confirms this by stating some workers had antibodies, meaning they were infected, but didn’t even know it.

Testing for the presence of bird flu genetic material in animals, humans, and milk will only frighten people who have not yet learned how the immune system works and where the protection against infection resides. All the positive tests, with or without symptoms, will be called “cases”. As the case numbers rise, people will be convinced there is a pandemic. The panicked ones will do exactly what they did the last time…isolate, separate, and wear masks and goggles, none of which works.

What is the CDC afraid of? They are afraid that as the virus circulates, the risk of it more easily infecting humans will increase. It most definitely will get mutated and circulate more easily, as evidenced by looking at all communicable diseases historically. This is nothing to be afraid of. Many people won’t even know they were infected, and if symptoms arise in the immunocompromised, they can be managed.

What the CDC should be afraid of is an intervention of injecting humans and animals with something that targets proteins on the virus that will undoubtedly get mutated. This will focus the immune systems of the injected on what was injected, not what gets mutated, herd immunity becomes impossible, and on and on infections will go.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for staying smart.
