US to pay Moderna $176 million to develop pandemic flu vaccine

Observations

U.S. government will pay Moderna $176 million to develop an mRNA bird flu pandemic vaccine

The H5N1 virus was detected earlier this year in dairy cows and has spread to more than 135 herds in 12 states and infected three people to date, all with mild cases. Federal health officials stress that the risk to the wider population remains low.

Wonder why we need another RNA experimental vaccine when all cases are VERY MILD!

The FDA has released the results of the second retail sampling survey of retail dairy products. (Information on the first survey is available below.) The second sampling survey, coordinated with USDA for the analyses, tested 167 dairy products collected at retail locations for highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1). The samples included pasteurized fluid milk and products made from pasteurized milk, such as pasteurized cheeses, cream cheese, butter, ice cream. The samples also included aged raw milk cheese, a product from milk that was not pasteurized. No viable H5N1 virus was detected in the products.

Pasteurization is heating milk to 161 degrees Fahrenheit, held at that temperature for 15 seconds, then cooled quickly. The heat kills infectious microbes and works!

LEAVE OUR COWS ALONE

Vaccination Recommendations per CDC

Getting a seasonal flu vaccine will not protect against H5N1 bird flu

While getting a seasonal flu vaccine only prevents seasonal flu and will not protect against H5N1 bird flu, it is important that people who may have frequent exposure to infected or potentially infected birds or other animals get a seasonal flu vaccine, ideally 2 weeks before their potential exposure. This is because it can reduce the prevalence and severity of seasonal flu and might reduce the VERY RARE RISK of co infection with a human seasonal virus and an avian virus at the same time, and the theoretical risk that reassortment between the two could result in a NEW virus. Such dual infections, while very rare, could theoretically result in genetic reassortment of the two different influenza A viruses and lead to a new influenza A virus that has a different combination of genes, and which could pose a significant public health concern.

The Flu shot won’t protect you BUT GET IT ANYWAY!!!

Anyone wonder how so many cows in so many states suddenly contracted the bird flu from chickens all at the same time…?

Good thing I almost died from a flu shot in 2020 and the MD wrote : anaphylaxis

Be thinking about the docs who will support medical exemptions if you have the misfortune of working in an industry that colludes and coerces.
