The warning was issued by Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the world’s leading medical experts. During an appearance on InfoWars, McCullough warned that the current strain of “bird flu” – H5N1 – is a “man-made problem” that was developed in the USA. McCullough explains that a peer-reviewed study traced the origins of the strain to the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia. Researchers believe the gain-of-function research is also tied to the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

McCullough continues by explaining that the U.S. federal government has been trying to modify the virus so it can spread rapidly through humans and other animals. “And, I hope, under the new administration, one of the very first steps taken by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the CDC… would be to do an all-out ban on gain-of-function research, certainly in U.S. labs and our funding of what happens outside of the United States. Because we know it’s not just the government that funds this research but also the Gates Foundation, [and] many other pro-vaccine foundations are ramping up gain-of-function research.”

The warning from McCullough comes as the corporate media and pharmaceutical industry virologists continue to hype “bird flu.” Last week, KFF Health News published a report claiming that the U.S. government’s failure to contain bird flu outbreaks among cattle could soon lead to an even worse pandemic than COVID-19. As Slay News reported, a prominent doctor and former health official is calling on the Biden administration to begin rolling out a mass vaccination campaign before President Donald Trump is sworn in next month. Former Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen, who serves as one of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Young Global Leaders,” has claimed that an outbreak of “bird flu” will kill 52 percent of the population.
