As news of the COVID pandemic winds down around the world, were suddenly seeing warnings of another pandemic brewing bird flu, aka avian influenza (H5N1).
In a March 30 CenterPoint interview, former Director for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, stated:
I believe the great pandemic still in the future, and thats going to be a bird flu pandemic for man. Its going to have significant mortality in the 10 to 50% range. Its going to be trouble.
Anyone who knows a little about bird flu is likely to wonder where Redfield and other experts are getting their predictions from, as natural bird flu is notoriously harmless to humans.
In early April, news of a highly pathogenic bird flu ripping through chicken and turkey flocks in the U.S., triggering the slaughter of millions of these animals, was reported.
Historically, however, the bird flu has never posed a threat to mankind that is until scientists started tinkering with it, creating a hybrid with human pandemic potential.
