H5N1 Influenza Stopped Crossing US Border
The H5N1 strain of influenza, or “bird flu,” is being stopped from crossing the United States (US) border by strict regulation and monitoring. ...
Spread by migrating fowl, the strain is housed and spread by bird saliva and droppings. When the droppings dry, they become ground into dust and inhaled as the means of transfer.
…With a case so close to home, US officials are exercising increased vigilance with respect to imported poultry, attempting to ensure that the H5N1 influenza strain is stopped at the border.
The best way to prevent infection is to avoid contact with sick or deceased poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, etc). The US Government diligently controls which domestic and imported food products cross the border.

Total joke. H5N1 is endemic in Asia - meaning it's everywhere - in the soil, water, air, plants, insects, animals, everywhere. People supposedly get H7N9 from poultry but guess what? ...Nobody can find any poultry infected with H7N9. And why does H5N1 keep popping up here in North America? Where is it really coming from?

I think it comes from vaccines, so made/preserved in a lab to spread later...
