An International Bird Flu Summit has been scheduled for October in Washington, D.C., prompting concerns that another “plandemic” could be in the works.

An official brochure for the event, which will take place from October 2 to 4, says that it will focus on “a highly virulent strain” of the virus that has the ability to infect humans.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu has been getting increasing air time in the media lately, with some sources claiming it could have a death rate of between 25 and 50 percent. The CDC recently confirmed a fourth human case of the virus in the U.S. linked to a multistate outbreak involving dairy cows. However, all of the cases so far have involved people who work on dairy farms with infected cows. The person in the latest case only experienced eye symptoms and made a full recovery.

However, while the CDC believes the current risk to the public is low, the summit seeks to capitalize on fears that this is the start of the next pandemic. The informational brochure notes: “With the emergence of a highly virulent strain of bird flu affecting both cattle and humans, it is imperative that we come together to discuss preparedness, response strategies, and the future implications of this evolving situation.”

One of the “breakout sessions” planned will focus on the topic of “Mass Fatality Management Planning,” while another session, “Global Influenza Surveillance Networks & Delivery of Vaccine & Antiviral Medication” will discuss “vaccine optimization” and “equitable access,” among other subjects.

Another worrying topic they intend to address is “Surveillance and Data Management.” The organizers note in the description that the session on this subject will “Discuss strategies for enhancing surveillance systems, early warning mechanisms, and rapid response protocols,” which sounds a lot like the digital health passports that were used to keep unvaccinated people out of all manner of stores and venues during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The conference’s website identifies several groups under the category of “who should attend,” including public health officials, epidemiologists, government representatives, policymakers, NGOs, and those in the pharmaceutical industry.

Independent journalist Leo Hohmann believes this convention could be meant to influence people ahead of the election, noting: “The scare-mongering is ratcheting up quickly, just as we approach the November presidential election. Whether this next pandemic will be timed for November or sometime in 2025, it’s not a good sign that the elites have scheduled this tabletop exercise.”

Vaccine programs are already underway for bird flu

Finland has already started to vaccinate vulnerable populations, such as farm workers, against bird flu from its stock of 10,000 two-dose vaccine series that it obtained in a deal between the EU and vaccine maker CSL Seqirus that will provide 15 nations with 40 million vaccines.

The American government has given Moderna a $176 million contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, completely ignoring the numerous failures of the mRNA vaccines they came up with for COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that dozens of cows with bird flu have died or been slaughtered in Texas, South Carolina, Ohio, Colorado, and Michigan, something that Forbes notes is “unusual” because cows are expensive to slaughter and 90 percent of them typically make a full recovery.

The World Health Organization notes that bird flu does not “transmit easily from person to person” and that in the rare cases in which it has affected humans, the individuals involved had close contact with infected poultry. Nevertheless, they note that human-to-human spread of bird flu has “pandemic potential.”
