The European Union is warning of a bird flu mutation risk that could occur in pigs. The EU is now on “high alert” over a possible viral mutation that could become a significant risk to humans.
Bird Flu Poses A Rising Risk To Humans
While Europe is a hotspot for A/H5N1, attention is currently focused on the United States. Dairy cattle were infected for the first time in 2024, with more than 400 herds affected across at least 14 U.S. states.
In October of 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that a pig on a backyard farm in Oregon was infected with the bird flu.
So far, no “sustained” spread to humans has been reported, and most people are still widely unconcerned about the bird flu. So far, human cases have mainly occurred in people who have been in close contact with infected farm animals or birds. In the U.S., most have been farm workers. According to a report by The Conversation, a recent study of a sample of A/H5N1 2.3.4.4b from an infected human had worrying findings, identifying mutations in the virus with the potential to increase transmission between human hosts.
A human pandemic strain of influenza can arise in several ways. One involves close contact between humans and animals infected with their own specific flu viruses, creating opportunities for genetic mixing between avian and human viruses.
Pigs are the ideal genetic mixing vessel to generate a human pandemic influenza strain, because they have receptors in their respiratory tracts which both avian and human flu viruses can bind to.
This means pigs can be infected with a bird flu virus and a human flu virus at the same time. These viruses can exchange genetic material to mutate and become easily transmissible in humans. –The Conversation
The mainstream media maintains that mass surveillance is the key to stopping the bird flu plandemic before it starts. But is there a way to stop it?
