How (and why) Bird Flu is about to enter the 'Mass Testing' phase

Apparently a new study has found something scary - Americans "have little to no pre-existing immunity to the H5N1 avian flu". Frightening stuff.

Just a few hours ago the Daily Mail reported on yet another doctor doling out yet another dire warning. This time Dr Rick Bright, who told PBS that:

We're being blindfolded in this battle right now, and I'm really concerned that the virus is winning the game and getting ahead of us.' 

We're flying blind and the disease is getting ahead of us! It's running rampant and the stakes are enormous!

Even some channels that supposedly know better are spreading the fear.

CNN is frantic with worry - "We aren't doing enough about the risk of bird flu - but we can". Popular Science is relatively calm, asking "Can we prevent a bird flu pandemic in humans?", before reassuring us that we can...as long as we all do as we're told.

All of these stories talk about "gathering data", "flying blind", and the need for "prevention". And all of that is really code for "testing". Almost every article talks up the need to increase testing - both of humans and animals.

But anyone who's been paying attention since 2020 knows PCR tests don't gather data, they create data. They are machines for generating "cases". Far from preventing a pandemic, they can be used to manufacture one.

There are even early signs of mandating tests going forward, such as this Politico article bemoaning the lack of farmers voluntarily signing up for government surveillance programs: The federal response is largely focusing on voluntary efforts by farmers to help track and contain the outbreak. But many farms still have not signed up for USDA efforts to boost surveillance and testing for the virus. And the solution to this is more money: 

Although federal funds have been allocated, no farms have enrolled in voluntary on-site milk testing, according to the USDA. Fewer than a dozen farms have applied for separate financial aid in exchange for boosting biosecurity measures to help contain the virus. 

Paying farmers to test their animals is another recycled Covid strategy. It will generate cases, which will generate culling, which links us up with the other aspect of "bird flu" - not "the next pandemic" but "the war on food".

As the alleged disease allegedly spreads from poultry farm to dairy farm more and more chickens are being culled and cows slaughtered. This is going to escalate even further soon, when governments start paying farmers to destroy their cattle....<<<Read More>>>...
