A Single Mutation Could Cause Bird Flu To Become Transmissible Between Humans

The health authorities have discovered that one single mutation of the HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) virus could cause it to become transmissible between human beings. If the medical industry thinks they can profit heavily off this mutation, we can bet they make sure it happens and this virus becomes the next plandemic.

According to a new study published in the journal Science by Scripps Research Institute biologists, the avian H5N1 virus has the potential to quickly shift from a bird flu to a human flu. The authors wrote that the pathogen, which first popped up in North America in 2021, is just a “single mutation” away from being able to infect humans with the same efficacy it can currently infect other animals.

“In nature, the occurrence of this single mutation could be an indicator of human pandemic risk,” according to an editorial note attached to the paper as reported by Popular Mechanics. The study showed that just one mutation—the amino acid glutamine transforming into leucine, specifically at “residue 226 of the virus hemagglutinin”—was enough to make the switch from avian to human.

Is It Here? Bird Flu Human To Human Transmission

According to the Los Angeles Times, study coauthor James Paulson said that the discovery “really surprised us.” And Richard Webby, director of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Center for Studies on the Ecology of Influenzas in Animals and Birds, who was not involved in the study, said that this news “will likely cause a stir. I think most of us thought it would probably need more than one change.”

Considering there are already bird flu “vaccines” stockpiled for a “just in case” scenario, we can assume that this is scheduled to jump to human beings at some point.

Ruling Class Has Prepared MILLIONS Of “Vaccines” For The Bird Flu Plandemic

Each virus has a certain kind of cell that it is best at infecting. In order to latch onto a host, that host has to have the proper receptors for the virus to attach to. Birds and humans have different receptors on their cells, which means that a virus requires just the right match to pick the lock of the cell, so to speak, to be easily transferrable.

Since its discovery in 2021, the H5N1 virus has been able to bond with receptors in avian species, marine mammals, and even (occasionally) humans. By 2024, that virus was spreading widely in the country’s dairy cattle population, causing mild cases in over 50 people. –Popular Mechanics

“For a new pandemic H5N1 virus, we know that it has to switch receptor specificity from avian-type to human-type,” the study authors wrote adding that only one mutation will be required for that to be the case.

“The initial infection is what we’re concerned about to initiate a pandemic,” Paulson said, according to Scientific American, “and we believe that the weak binding that we see with this single mutation is at least equivalent to a known human pandemic virus.”

The research team found that a change from glutamine to leucine in position 226 would switch the virus into a mode compatible with easily infecting human biology.

A jump to humans would also be a boon to big pharma and the medical industry as new medications and treatments and vaccines all come out to help “save” humanity from another pandemic.
