Biden Commits $306 Million to Prevent 'Potential Bird Flu Outbreak' in Humans Ahead of Trump's Return to Office | 4 Jan 2025 | The Biden regime has announced a $306 million investment to bolster bird flu monitoring and preparedness efforts across the United States to combat a so-called potential bird flu outbreak among humans, right before handing over the reins to President-elect Donald Trump. In November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first-ever case of avian influenza A(H5N1), commonly known as H5N1 bird flu, in a child in the United States. The young patient, a resident of California, reportedly experienced mild symptoms and has since been recovering following treatment with flu antivirals. Last week, the CDC confirmed the first severe U.S. human case of H5N1 bird flu in a 65-year-old Louisiana man who had contact with sick backyard birds. Predictably, experts are now sounding the alarms about the virus's supposed mutations and potential for human transmission.
