WHO misinforms public — falsely declares death from kidney failure as bird flu death
The World Health Organization (WHO) identified a Mexican man who died from kidney disease and other chronic conditions as having died from a new H5N2 strain of bird flu. However, human deaths from bird flu are not new; the WHO's data show that people have been dying from bird flu since at least 2003.
WHO in a rush to declare another pandemic?
On January 5th, just days after the WHO pushed through amendments to the International Health Regulations, it declared the death of a Mexican man from bird flu in its Disease Outbreak News feature on its website:
On 23 May 2024, the Mexico International Health Regulations (IHR) National Focal Point (NFP) reported to PAHO/WHO a confirmed fatal case of human infection with avian influenza A(H5N2) virus detected in a resident of the State of Mexico who was hospitalized in Mexico City. This is the first laboratory-confirmed human case of infection with an influenza A(H5N2) virus reported globally and the first avian H5 virus infection in a person reported in Mexico. Although the source of exposure to the virus in this case is currently unknown, A(H5N2) viruses have been reported in poultry in Mexico.
Toby Rogers tweeted his thought that the timing of the WHO's announcement following the amended IHR was suspicious.
As Peter Immenuelson, aka Peter Sweden, wrote, the media picked up the news of the man's death from bird flu and began fearmongering.
The mainstream media widely reported the news from the WHO, saying that the man had died from a brand new strain of bird flu.
As usual, the mainstream media were busy fear mongering about this.
But it turns out that we were lied to – AGAIN.
Mexico’s health ministry have DENIED that the man died from bird flu, saying that the man died from chronic conditions and that he had conditions that led to the failure of several organs.
Turns out that the man had been bedridden for weeks, had diabetes type 2, high blood pressure and kidney failure.
Immaneulson linked to a June 7th report by VOA News, featuring confirmation by a WHO spokesman that the man did not die from bird flu:
At a Geneva news conference Friday, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told reporters an investigation is ongoing, including blood testing of the man’s contacts to determine if there was any possible earlier infection. But he confirmed, "The death is a multi-factorial death, not a death attributable to H5N2."
Mexico — WHO statement is “pretty bad”
Camus@newstart_2024 tweeted that Mexican Health Secretary Jorge Alcocer repudiated the WHO statement that a 59-year-old Mexican man died from bird flu:
During a morning briefing, Alcocer rebuffed the WHO’s announcement and assured that the 59-year-old man, who was reported to have died from the A(H5N2) strain of avian influenza, “died from other causes, mainly kidney and respiratory failure.”
Alcocer urged people to remain calm and to take the WHO’s announcement with caution because it is "not accurate." "I can point out that the statement made by the World Health Organization is pretty bad, since it speaks of a fatal case (of bird flu), which was not the case," he said.
Is WHO guilty of disinformation?
The above WHO text announcing the man's death was available on the WHO's webpage as of June 11th. Does this mean the WHO is knowingly leaving false information on its website? Does that make the WHO guilty of spreading disinformation?
Another bird flu case for the WHO?
Not one to let a potential pandemic slip through its fingers, the WHO has found another supposed victim of bird flu, a two-and-a-half-year-old Australian girl who is said to have contracted bird flu on a visit to India.
X user Iris Atzmon, in response to Liz Churchill's tweet about the Australian girl, tweeted that the WHO is again trying to publicize a human case of bird flu despite having been caught lying about the same claim in a different person.
Like the Mexican who didn't die of bird flu, she, too, had no known contact with anyone or anything that might have had the virus, according to The Peninsula, Atzmon's source. She has since recuperated.
WHO statistics show bird flu deaths in humans not a new phenomenon
Globally, people in different parts of the world have died year after year after being diagnosed with bird flu, yet we've never had a bird flu pandemic declared. Between 2003 to 2024 there have been 888 cases of bird flu in humans and 463 deaths, according to the WHO chart below. Egypt and Indonesia had the most cases and deaths, at 359 and 200 cases and 120 and 168 deaths, respectively. The U.S. had one case in 2022; the person died.
Why the rush to “find” bird flu cases?
One might logically ask: Why is the WHO trying so hard to convince us that we are on the precipice of a bird flu pandemic when people have been contracting and dying from bird flu for at least the past 21 years and the WHO admits there is no human-to-human transmission?
Could it be the va$$ine?
