CHICAGO/LONDON, May 27 (Reuters) – The United States and Europe are taking steps to acquire or manufacture H5N1 bird flu vaccines that could be used to protect at-risk poultry and dairy workers, veterinarians and lab technicians, government officials said, moves influenza experts say could curb the threat of a pandemic.
U.S officials last week said they were moving bulk vaccine from CSL Seqirus (CSL.AX)
, opens new tab that closely matches the current virus into finished shots that could provide 4.8 million doses of vaccine. European health officials told Reuters they were in talks to acquire CSL’s prepandemic vaccine.
Canadian health officials said they have met with GSK (GSK.L)
, opens new tab, maker of Canada’s seasonal flu shots, to discuss acquiring and manufacturing a prepandemic bird flu vaccine once its seasonal flu production capacity is freed up.
Other countries, including the UK, are discussing how to proceed on prepandemic vaccines, scientists said.
The actions follow the explosive spread of a new strain of bird flu that emerged in late 2020 and has caused unprecedented numbers of deaths among wild birds and domestic poultry and has begun infecting many mammal species.
In March, U.S. officials reported the first outbreak of the virus in dairy cattle, which has infected dozens of herds in nine states and two dairy workers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has estimated that 20% of the U.S. milk supply shows signs of the virus, indicating a wider spread is likely.
Human exposures to the virus in poultry and dairy operations could increase the risk that the virus will mutate and gain the ability to spread easily in people.
Some healthcare analysts have raised their annual sales forecast for weight loss drugs by around 50% to about $150 billion by the early 2030s.
“All of our efforts need to be focused on preventing those events from happening,” said Matthew Miller, co-director of the Canadian Pandemic Preparedness Hub at McMaster University. “Once we have widespread infections of humans, we’re in big trouble.”
Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, said she has been in discussions with U.S. and Canadian officials about using vaccines to protect workers following the virus’ spread into new mammal species.

The hype over bird flu is bullshit!!! If those entities were so concerned about people contracting infectious illnesses so bad, then why no focus on eradicating homelessness since wasn’t it a gross lack of hygiene, exposure to rats and unsanitary conditions that led to many so-called, “pandemics?”
“Medieval” Diseases Flare as Unsanitary Living Conditions Proliferate
Typhus and other infectious illnesses hit homeless communities
But they want to make shit up to produce another bioweapon in order to kill people AND animals by injecting them with poison. And not one news article have I seen lately on Covid, not one. Now, it’s “bird flu” this and “bird flu” that. So, stand in line, roll up your sleeve and take ANOTHER “vaccine” aka bioweapon in order to eradicate “bird flu.” I hope people don’t fall for this fake mess, AGAIN!!!!! It is too damn obvious!

I’m hoping, too, Shelby, and doing everything I can to spread the word. I also think the Biden administration is planning another lockdown in time for the election so they can pull another mail-in ballot scam.
