Colorado’s governor has declared a state of disaster over bird flu, and the CDC is on its way to the state. Colorado governor Jared Polis said that the disaster declaration allows the state to “take all necessary and appropriate state actions to assist with response, recovery, and mitigation efforts,” according to The Epoch Times.

As fears abound and the national government starts to get involved, we thought it appropriate to rerun this terrific article warning against pandemic fears and propaganda, written by IFA contributing writer Angela Rodriguez.

Round and round the pandemic cycles go, but where they stop nobody knows. After over three years of Covid-19 lockdowns, masks and forced vaccinations, the last thing Americans want to hear is “another pandemic is on the way.” Nonetheless, government authorities, medical personnel and media are revving up the fear about what they believe is the next health emergency.

Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.

Recently, the former Director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, stated that he believes “bird flu will enter humans,” and it could have “significant mortality.” Similar warnings have been coming from globalist entities like the World Economic Forum, as well as the World Health Organization and GAVI (the Vaccine Alliance), the latter two which are funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Covid-19 History is the Best Teacher

As the bird flu narrative gains momentum, instead of moving forward with the flow, we should stop and push the rewind button. After all, the history of Covid-19 is fresh and readily available. The truth about the origin of the Covid virus in a lab has become public knowledge. The censorship of effective treatments, as well as the dangers of the Covid mRNA injections have been highlighted in government hearings and in the media. Additionally, lawsuits have prevailed against the CDC, FDA, and other medical authorities that censored and even fired physicians and citizens who expressed divergent opinions.

While some are still in the dark, a large portion of the population is keenly aware of the pandemic game plan. Consequently, as bird flu shows up in newsfeeds, many see it as an attempt to lead the public down a road of fear and doubt, so that the only solution will once again be a rapidly produced vaccine.

Bird Flu Timeline

Various strains of bird flu have been around for many years, infecting chickens, ducks, turkeys, owls, bald eagles and other birds. As of 2024, the virus has purportedly been found in at least 88 different kinds of mammals such as skunks, foxes, raccoons, opossums, coyotes, otters, sea lions and black bears. The recent hype, however, began in early 2024 when federal officials reported that the H5N1 bird flu virus had jumped from wild birds to dairy cows for the first time, spreading silently among herds in states such as Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming and Michigan. In April, a farm worker in Texas tested positive for the virus after coming in contact with an infected cow. While no symptoms except conjunctivitis were present, the narrative only grew from there. In May 2024, two more farm workers tested positive for the virus, one of whom exhibited respiratory symptoms.

Mass Testing Touted as Best Way Forward

As cases rise, the federal government has agreed to pay dairy producers millions of dollars to participate in biosecurity efforts, which includes PCR testing. Farmers will also be compensated for any loss of milk production related to outbreaks and testing, as long as they agree to the measures. Recently, former Coronavirus Response Coordinator Deborah Birx stressed the need for mass weekly testing of “every cow” and “every dairy worker” in the United States. She suggests that this surveillance should include asymptomatic carriers.

PCR Tests Boost the Hype

In contrast, world renowned cardiologist and epidemiologist Peter McCullough warns that the PCR tests are not accurate and that false positive tests will only inflate the number of cases, leading to the unnecessary culling of animals. Moreover, it could also lead to the unjustified targeting of dairy workers who exhibit no symptoms and thus, pose no threat to animals or people. In essence, the whole idea of mass PCR testing for bird flu mimics the faulty, inaccurate Covid-19 contact tracing system.

U.S. Buying Up Bird Flu Vaccines

The United States is wasting no time responding to the bird flu outbreaks. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack revealed that at least 24 companies are working to develop a bird flu vaccine for cattle. In the event of a human outbreak, the U.S. ordered 4.8 million doses of a cell-based, adjuvanted bird flu vaccine from CSL Seqirus that they claim is “a close match” to the H5N1 virus. Interestingly enough, this formulation was approved by the FDA in early 2020, four years ago.

On April 20, 2024 Barron’s reported that the U.S. government “says it could distribute enough bird flu vaccines within four months to inoculate a fifth of the U.S. population” if the H5N1 strain infecting cattle began to spread among humans. Healthcare workers, law enforcement and other first responders, military personnel, pregnant women, infants and high-risk children would have access to the shots first.

Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and President of the National Vaccine Information Center, cautions that the CSL Seqirus bird flu vaccines are designed to “stimulate a hyper-inflammatory” response in the body. Squalene adjuvants (typically made from shark livers) are used in the vaccines and have been associated with the development of autoimmune disorders.  

Like the Covid pandemic, once again Moderna has skin in the game because they’re in the process of securing millions of dollars in government funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) for a late-stage mRNA avian influenza vaccine. Pfizer is currently working on a bird flu vaccine candidate as well, confidently stating they are prepared to deploy vaccines for stockpiles upon request.

A recent article appearing in Yahoo Finance cites Bill Gates’ call for a universal flu vaccine in 2018, as well as a $12 million dollar initiative to  “accelerate the development of a universal flu vaccine.” In the event of a major outbreak, Gates stands to make millions from his numerous investments.

Dangerous Gain of Function Research Could Make Bird Flu More Deadly

Bird flu does not naturally spread from human to human but there are ways to make it more pathogenic and transmissible. Lawmakers and health experts are sounding the alarm about gain of function experiments that have been in the works for years.

In February 2024, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst wrote to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, demanding information about the USDA’s gain-of-function research on H5N1 avian flu virus. The risky experiments are a collaboration between the U.S. Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia with Chinese scientists.

The letter states that “dangerous bird flu experiments” are being funded by taxpayer dollars that were awarded through a grant spanning April 2021 through March 2026. Ernst reveals that the “Biden USDA” grant is funding a Chinese researcher who has ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. More specifically, these “wet lab” virology experiments involved “strains of avian influenza virus” that “pose greatest risk to avian or human populations.” Tests involve infecting vaccinated chickens, mallard ducks, as well as species of Chinese geese and Japanese quail, to evaluate the virus’s transmissibility and ability to jump into mammalian hosts.

Ernst exhorts, “The Biden Administration should be walking on eggshells until they cut off every cent going to our adversaries. We cannot let what happened in Wuhan happen again.”

Dr. Peter McCullough has been following bird flu gain of function research closely and explains that bird flu host range has expanded because projects are being funded by organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as the National Institutes of Health. In 2009 the University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $9.5 million dollar grant  from the Gates Foundation to “enable an international team of scientists to look for mutations in viral proteins that allow avian influenza viruses to bind to human receptors to facilitate efficient replication in human cells.” Negligent biosafety procedures at the lab have prompted widespread criticism of the experiments, which have continued, despite the warnings of a possible future lab leak.

Fauci Leaves No Feather Unplucked on Bird Flu

As the November presidential election nears and bird flu takes flight, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, is wasting no time bringing up old talking points from the Covid pandemic. Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, he spun a deceptive yarn as he targeted conservative views about vaccination.

He complained, “I’m very concerned that the misinformation and disinformation about what’s absolutely scientifically proven, lifesaving preventions now…It’s astonishing to me that so many people, by political ideology, will make a decision that will endanger their lives. Because of people getting less vaccinated because you’re a Republican versus a Democrat, there are more deaths and hospitalizations in red states versus blue states. That’s horrible that that happens–that people suffer and die because of misinformation that’s related to a political ideology.” (These claims have been proven to be false.)

Fauci’s response has angered many, especially those who listened to him testify before Congress in June 2024. Afterward, a press release from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic stated: “Dr. Fauci showed no remorse for the millions of lives affected by his divisive rhetoric and his unjustified policies.” Fauci, who has argued for the development of a universal flu vaccine, responded to criticism in a recent interview with PBS news, insisting that he has the “DNA of caring for people.”

Ignore the Bird Flu Propaganda

Peter McCullough, author of The Courage to Face Covid-19, suggests ignoring the mass vaccination propaganda, and instead focusing on early treatment and building a healthy immune system. Because influenza viruses mutate so quickly, this is the best way to fight a bird flu pandemic.

How Do We Pray?

Intercessors, as bird flu flies through newsfeeds, it’s important that we do not become fearful. We have been through a pandemic before and we know the players, as well as their moves on the chess board. Experts claim that we are “flying blind” “when in reality, we have an instant replay on our hands.

For now, we should be praying about possible motives behind a bird flu pandemic, using careful discernment along the way.

Prayer Point 1: Bird flu is affecting the poultry and dairy industry. Pray for the health and protection of America’s farm animals and their ability to produce food for our nation.

Prayer Point 2: Another pandemic would greatly affect our economy. Pray that bird flu would not in any way become a national emergency.

Prayer Point 3: Pray for medical freedom—for sound public health leadership that allows us the freedom to choose the medical treatments that we want.

Prayer Point 4: Pray for the health of Americans and for a reversal of lifestyle trends that are harming personal and public health.

Prayer Point 5: Pray that people look to Jesus for their strength, comfort, and protection instead of government, medicine, and anything else.

As of now, we don’t know how far the bird flu narrative will fly. Let’s pray this virus fizzles out. Nonetheless, we must be on guard as we pray that truth stays at the forefront.

Lord Jesus, we are not afraid of the bird flu. After all, we are covered under Your wings and we can find always find refuge in you. You are our shield and fortress.

What have you learned from the Covid pandemic that could aid your response to a possible bird flu emergency?
