New bird flu strain claims first human victim, WHO reports

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently confirmed a concerning development in infectious diseases: the first fatal human case of the bird flu A(H5N2) subtype.

This alarming news has raised questions and concerns among the global community, especially those often more vulnerable to such infections.



The victim, a 59-year-old resident of Mexico, succumbed to the illness on 24 April after experiencing a range of symptoms, including fever, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nausea, and general discomfort.

This case is the first laboratory-confirmed human infection with the A(H5N2) subtype of bird flu reported worldwide, and notably, the first H5 virus infection in a person reported in Mexico.

The individual had no known history of exposure to poultry or other animals, which are typically associated with the transmission of avian influenza to humans.

The WHO has reported that the person had multiple underlying medical conditions and had been bedridden for three weeks, due to other reasons, before the onset of the acute bird flu symptoms.

‘Although the source of exposure to the virus in this case is currently unknown, A(H5N2) viruses have been reported in poultry in Mexico,’ WHO said in a statement.



Mexico's Health Ministry stated that the origin of the infection in the individual from Mexico City remains unknown, yet there is currently no indication of transmission between individuals.

The ministry added that all people who had contact with him have tested negative

This information is crucial as it highlights the increased risk that individuals with pre-existing health issues face when it comes to infectious diseases.



This comes after a child in Victoria was confirmed to have the first case of bird flu in Australia after acquiring an H5N1 infection in India, and an H7N7 virus was detected on a Victorian egg farm, prompting bird owners to take strict biosecurity measures.

Despite these outbreaks, Agriculture Victoria assured the public that poultry and eggs in supermarkets are safe to consume and stressed the importance of immediately reporting any suspected emergency animal diseases.

More miserable lies from the WHO.
People need to C-H-E-C-K all information coming from the WHO and UN.
Seniors Discount Club ought to check information before posting alarmist garbage like this.
A quick check revealed this information:


No doubt someone will come on here and try to tell me that Reuters is not a dependable source of information.

Anyone recall that the SWINE FLU also originated in Mexico?
Strange eh?... or not!

"Epidemiological data now indicate that the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus pandemic started as an outbreak of influenza like illness in the Mexican town of La Gloria, Veracruz, in mid-February 2009."

"In mid-April the Center of Disease Control (CDC) identified swine origin H1N1 influenza virus in two specimens independently collected in southern California. By the end of April, international spread and human-to-human transmission prompted the WHO to increase the pandemic alert from Phase 3 to Phase 4 and shortly after to Phase 5. On June 11, 2009, the WHO raised its pandemic to the highest level Phase 6, indicating widespread community transmission on at least two continents."

So the latest "outbreak" is intended to give momentum to the plan to use another vaccine to impose supposed immunity on an unsuspecting - but foolishly believing - world.

The WHO has been found by courts to have forced a useless Covid Vaccine on the world, killing and maiming people, as revealed by the NHS in the UK, and Courts in Europe and other places.

The UK (and Australia) are now accepting claims for Vaccine damage, harm and deaths, and have paid out already millions of pounds. (Check this fact on Google).

Be cautious be curious, cautious and circumspect about any new rumours of pandemic illness.
One fictitious case of Bird Flu in an obscure location in Mexico, is NOT a Pandemic.

We must use cool heads before rushing out for the latest "protective vaccine."

The WHO is a Criminal Org run by Globalist Kasarian Aschenazi Parasites, the Bird Flu is another One of their Follies to take away Our Human Rights and Kill Millions again, Never again No to the WHO Treaty
I do hope, for your sake, you can ignore everything the WHO declares and that you stay free of ALL diseases because you refuse to believe anything anyone says about diseases (whether the illness is mild or severe) and you live a life free from all diseases.
 
That is because restaurants only want wings. Have you noticed how expensive wings are?

So do we ignore everything any doctor, pharmacist, medical authority, medical organisation etc says??? I will follow advice from the major organisations and take recommended vaccinations and stay safe - and I wish you and many others with opinions similar to yours all the best in life.

I ask that you and all the other unbelievers do not take up valuable space in our hospitals if you get sick as a result of your disbelief. Leave that space for other people who need it.
