Post Reply - pandemic strategies (or lack of it !)

   (DJ-I have to watch my anger....)
The prospect of an H5N1 pandemic has been a source of concern ever since the virus was isolated from humans in Hong Kong in 1997. In response, the U.S. government began developing pandemic-preparedness plans. 

A series of reports from the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has emphasized the need for the stockpiling of personal protective equipment, resilient supply chains, and greater coordination between agencies and various levels of government.¹ 

Yet despite these plans and warnings, and despite being ranked the most prepared among 195 countries to handle a pandemic on the Global Health Security Index in 2019, when Covid-19 arrived, the United States fared terribly by most measures.²

During the pandemic, well-described weaknesses in the U.S. public health response were often masked by overconfidence, as some elected officials and political appointees continually reassured Americans that the country had “the tools” to respond adequately to this new threat. 

The types of testing and surveillance problems that marred the response to Covid-19 are now being repeated with H5N1, with recent genetic analyses suggesting that the virus circulated undetected in cattle for months.³ 

Because of inadequate testing, the actual number of cases among dairy and other agricultural workers is also unknown. 

As with meatpacking facilities in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, the reluctance of dairy-farm employers to cooperate with health officials has hampered widespread testing and surveillance.

Why ???? The profits are NOT worth millions of deaths ??? Or is there an evil plan ? "Genocide by pandemics"????

It is a GOVERNMENTS JOB to make laws ! If need be to enforce testing of milk, cows...offer tests to farmworkers-no test=no job !

Do we realy need another massive spread of a disease-than "vaccines"-with billions of tax payer money going to "big pharma share holders/donors" ?
