Dr Peter McCullough: Killer Bird Flu Returns to U.S. for First Time Since 2017

Bird flu is back in the headlines.

For the first time since 2017, a dangerous strain called H7N9 has been discovered in commercial poultry. Over 47,000 chickens on a farm in Mississippi died or had to be put down after testing positive.

That’s a big deal.

This flu isn’t just deadly for birds. Globally, H7N9 has infected over 1,500 people and killed 616.

In other words, almost four out of every 10 people who get H7N9 die from it!

The virus spreads through bird saliva, mucus, and fecal matter. It can also stick to surfaces. Touch a contaminated area, then touch your mouth or nose, and you could get sick.

Right now, there are no human cases in the U.S. But experts are watching closely.

The infected farm was immediately quarantined, and no birds from the facility entered the food system. Still, some zoos are taking action. In Wisconsin, a penguin exhibit was shut down to keep the birds safe.

As Dr. Peter McCullough has continually warned, bird flu viruses can mutate. A less threatening strain in wild birds can change and become highly dangerous in chickens — and potentially in humans.

That’s what seems to have happened here.

Even though this strain isn’t easily spread from person to person, it’s still a huge risk for people who work with or handle birds.

Meanwhile, the USDA has announced a $100 million funding opportunity to accelerate avian flu prevention, research, therapeutics, and vaccine development. In collaboration with HHS, CDC, NIH, and FDA, this initiative aims to protect farmers, strengthen biosecurity, and prevent future outbreaks.(1)

However, The Wellness Company isn’t waiting—we’ve already taken action through our Frontline Farmers Initiative. We are providing farmers with a free Bird Flu Emergency Kit to help prevent and protect against potential outbreaks. While larger efforts are in motion, we’re committed to supporting those on the frontlines now.

Doctors are urging people to take simple precautions:

• Cook all poultry and eggs to 165°F.
• Avoid contact with live birds.
• Wash your hands often.
• Don’t touch surfaces that may have bird droppings.

Symptoms usually show up within five days. You could get a fever, cough, and shortness of breath. It can lead to pneumonia and become life-threatening — fast.

Can Povidone-Iodine Help Against Bird Flu (H5N1)?

Povidone-iodine has strong antiviral properties, and some researchers suggest that nasal and throat gargles might reduce the viral load in the upper respiratory tract.

Potential Uses Against Bird Flu

• Nasal Spray or Drops: Could potentially reduce viral presence in the nasal passages.

• Throat Gargling: Might help limit viral replication in the throat, as seen with other respiratory viruses.

• Hand and Surface Disinfection: Can be effective in killing the virus on contaminated surfaces.

Limitations & Warnings

• Not a cure: Povidone-iodine does not treat systemic infections.

• Not a substitute for vaccines or antiviral medications: Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and other antiviral drugs remain the primary treatment. (ChatGPT)*

• Potential toxicity: Frequent or excessive use (especially in high concentrations) could lead to thyroid dysfunction or mucosal irritation.

*Differing Views on Tamiflu

We asked ChatGPT and here's a reply:

"Not a substitute for vaccines or antiviral medications: Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and other antiviral drugs remain the primary treatment."

However, some medical researchers have different opinions.

A Midwestern Doctor:

"In 1999, Roche’s Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), an influenza treatment was approved by the FDA and in 2002, by the EMA. When Tamiflu first hit the market, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the medical profession, while its significant rate of side effects was glossed over—1 in every 19 to 22 people (depending on age) treated experienced vomiting, 1 in 28 experienced nausea, 1 in 94 experienced a significant psychiatric event, and a variety of rarer but more severe side effects like kidney or liver damage were also observed with the drug.

Because of the fanfare surrounding Tamiflu, by 2009, Roche had been able to convince the European and American governments to spend billions stockpiling it. However, most of that fanfare was based upon studies Roche had conducted that they refused to reveal to the public or independent researchers. When the Cochrane Collaboration eventually obtained access to that data (e.g., through FOIA requests) they discovered that Roche’s data showed Tamiflu offered almost no benefit to patients while simultaneously presented a moderate risk to them."

Current Medical Recommendations

Health authorities do not currently recommend povidone-iodine as a standalone prevention or treatment for H5N1 bird flu. However, maintaining good hygiene, avoiding exposure to infected animals, and following public health guidelines remain key preventive measures.

Strengthening Your Defenses (Advertorial)

Immune Mist™ Nasal & Oral Cleanse (Povidone-iodine-based) – Inhaled virus particles and bacteria can stay suspended in the air. Once inhaled they then deposit in the upper respiratory tract where they incubate. Most studies suggest it takes 3-7 days after initial exposure for viral load to replicate to the level of contracted infection. Studies throughout the world prove that nasal and oral disinfection and cleaning are key to preventing a virus from establishing a foothold in the body.

The ImmuneMist™ Nasal and Oral Cleanse is a comprehensive system that keeps your upper respiratory tract clear of pathogens, and reduces viral load in the event of exposure, ImmuneMist™ is an effective added layer of protection recommended by leading doctors and pharmacists around the globe. Perfect for anyone, especially those that are traveling and/or exposed to large groups of people like teachers and healthcare workers.
