But, for anyone who followed the early development of the Covid \u201cpandemic\u201d, the details of the supposed \u201cbird flu\u201d death sound eerily familiar.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the patient was already seriously ill with kidney disease and type-2 diabetes. \u00a0In fact he had been bedridden for three weeks prior to the onset of his \u201cacute symptoms\u201d of bird flu.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the diagnosis of Bird Flu was only \u201cconfirmed\u201d post-mortem by PCR testing.<\/p>\n<p>The death reportedly occurred on April 24th, and yet is only making the headlines now. The report also volunteers that the man had\u00a0<em>\u201cno history of exposure to poultry or other animals\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026which rather begs the question:\u00a0<em>So why was he tested for Bird Flu at all?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>More specifically, why were they testing him for a strain of Bird Flu that had supposedly<strong>\u00a0never infected a human being before<\/strong>, let alone killed one?<\/p>\n<p>Are they just testing everyone for Bird Flu just in case?
