There was a time when I considered the vast majority of conspiracy theorists to be just plain, old-fashioned kooks.
But I couldn’t help but notice that more than a few of these same conspiracy theories have proven themselves to be true.
Case in point, just in time for numerous federal, state, and local elections only a handful of months on the horizon, the conspiracy theories claiming the political left will oh, so conveniently announce yet another so-called pandemic.
As Sonny Corleone would say, “Badda-beep, badda-boop, badda-bam”, a major Western news organization is warning of another transmissionable sickness… stunningly, just in time to disrupt the elections.
Looks like it’s time to ratchet up the panic mongering.
Reporter Luke Andrews of London’s the Daily Mail notes (emphasis mine);
“John Fulton, a pharmaceutical industry consultant for vaccines and founder of Canada-based pharmaceutical company BioNiagara, organized the meeting after receiving enquiries from the media.”
“Speaking at the briefing, Dr Suresh Kuchipudi, a bird flu researcher in Pittsburgh, warned: ‘This virus [has been] on the top of the pandemic list for many, many years and probably decades.”
‘And now we are getting dangerously close to this virus potentially causing a pandemic.’
‘So these are, the virus is already globally distributed, and this virus particularly, that is often perceived as an avian virus, it can, and it has shown, the ability to infect a range of mammalian hosts including humans.”
‘We are not really talking about a virus that is yet to make a jump, we are talking about a virus that is globally present, already infecting a range of mammals and is circulating.”
‘So, therefore, in my view, I think this is a virus that has the greatest pandemic threat [that is] playing out in plain sight and is globally present.’
‘It is really high time that we are prepared.’
“His concerns were echoed by Fulton, who warned the H5N1 strain of influenza A could trigger a worse pandemic than Covid.”
“He said: ‘This appears to be 100 times worse than Covid, or it could be if it mutates and maintains its high case fatality rate.”
‘Once it’s mutated to infect humans, we can only hope that the [fatality rate] drops.’
“The World Health Organization estimates the fatality rate for H5N1 at 52 percent, based on the 462 deaths recorded since 2003 among the 887 people diagnosed with the virus.”
In the knowledge that the World Health Organization is a branch of the United Nations, not exactly shocking that they’re in on this bullshit.
