Over the past year, Dr. Peter McCullough and team have been following the bird flu outbreak. There hasn’t been much reason for concern—or alarm. Until now. Enter the D1.1 genotype Since 2023, the majority of cattle and human infections have been associated with genotype B3.13, resulting in mild illness. In contrast, genotype D1.1 has been detected and associated with one death in Louisiana and a severe case of H5N1 in Canada. This genotype has historically been associated with a 50% mortality rate in humans. (1) What makes this genotype different than the B1.13 genotype circulating in dairy cattle is the potential for severity of symptoms in humans. D1.1 genotype of the H5N1 avian influenza virus has been the predominant genotype that has been infecting wild bird populations globally over the past 2+ years. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) identified D1.1, a new genotype of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in dairy cattle in Churchill County, Nevada on January...

By Nicolas Hulscher, MPH and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH In addressing the H5N1 bird flu outbreak, public health measures should emphasize accessible preventive solutions, such as iodine-based nasal sprays and gargles, which hold promise in preventing zoonotic avian influenza transmission and human infection. Regular use of iodine nasal sprays by farmers, poultry workers, and veterinarians could help reduce viral carriage in the upper respiratory tract, lowering the risk of infection from direct animal exposure. Sriwilaijaroen et al conducted a preclinical study of influenza virus strains on chicken egg cells and demonstrated that dilute povidone iodine (PVP-I) was effective at neutralizing the two pathogenic parts of the influenza virus—hemagglutinin (binding) and sialidase (catalytic hydrolysis). Of note, these effects were complimentary to the modest effect of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in these experiments. As we outlined in a recent article , iodine-based antiseptics should also be...

Bird flu is no longer a distant concern. It’s here, it’s mutating, and it’s becoming a serious threat to human health. Dr. Peter McCullough, Chief Scientific Officer of The Wellness Company, has issued a stark warning. “I think bird flu is about ready to make a turn for the worse,” he said. “We could see more serious human cases and death.” This isn’t speculation — it’s already happening. A 17-year-old girl in Canada was put on life support. A Louisiana man lost his life. A toddler in Southeast Asia succumbed to the virus after being in close contact with chickens. These aren’t isolated incidents. They are red flags signaling that the virus is adapting — and spreading. Even more alarming? Dr. McCullough believes human-to-human transmission is now imminent. If that happens, we won’t just be dealing with scattered cases — we’ll be looking at the next major pandemic. Reports of severe cases in Canada, US, and Cambodia thus far have not mentioned use of nasal sprays and gargles and ...

Almost every year, it seems a pandemic is hyped up. I would argue that's because: They give federal agencies (e.g., the CDC) a way to justify their necessity and get Congressional funding. The media thrives off of hooking the public through fear and appeasing its sponsors (e.g., the pharmaceutical industry). It sustains a biodefense industry that uses fear to get a lot of money (e.g., 27.7 billion dollars in 20231) to "prevent" pandemics. Tackling many of the real health issues facing our country requires confronting the vested interests responsible for them and addressing the underlying causes of chronic illnesses in the country. In contrast, going to war against a disease is far easier and receives minimal pushback but allows the government to present the facade of safeguarding our health. As such, we will frequently see a myriad of dubious pandemic preventatives be pushed on us2 (e.g., the mass slaughter of livestock, the newest "emergency" vaccine, or ineffe...
