Avian Influenza

June 3, 2025

Dr. Meryl Nass exposes the hidden agendas behind the bird flu narrative, revealing how regulatory loopholes, gain-of-function experiments, and mock-up vaccines are setting the stage for another manufactured crisis. This powerful class unpacks the real data, questions the official story, and shows what’s really driving the push for pandemic preparedness.

When most people hear “bird flu,” they think of headlines, chickens being culled, and the occasional mention of pink eye. But behind the surface-level concern lies a sprawling, decades-long narrative of fear campaigns, regulatory loopholes, and corporate profit—one that Dr. Meryl Nass has spent over twenty years uncovering.

A History of Manufactured Panic

Dr. Nass, a physician with a background in biological warfare and vaccine safety, has been tracking avian influenza since the early 2000s. She traces the first human cases back to 1997 in Hong Kong—just as Britain handed the territory over to China. But the real media and government frenzy began in 2003–2004, when avian flu (H5N1) became a hot topic in the West.

Here’s the kicker: by that point, a hundred million birds had been culled globally... even though just 32 people had been infected, and only about 20 had died. The virus didn’t spread person to person—only from direct contact with birds. It was never a pandemic threat, yet the machinery to treat it like one was already underway.

Why the Panic?

Dr. Nass points out that the bird flu narrative offered the perfect vehicle for pandemic planning—especially for vaccine developers and biosecurity agencies. What it lacked in real-world impact, it made up for in speculative fear: “What if it mutates and spreads between humans?” That hypothetical became the justification for massive spending, regulatory overhauls, and eventually, emergency vaccine rollouts.

The Mock-Up Vaccine Playbook

One of the most alarming pieces of Dr. Nass’s presentation focused on “mock-up vaccines”—a regulatory trick that lets pharmaceutical companies pre-authorize pandemic vaccines without ever testing the final product on humans.

Here’s how it works:

  • A vaccine platform (e.g., grown in eggs or cell lines) is approved with one viral antigen.
  • When a new pandemic threat emerges, they swap out the antigen—but keep everything else the same.
  • No new clinical trials. No efficacy studies. Sometimes, not even real safety data.
  • And yes—it’s legal.

The same playbook was used during COVID. Now it’s being lined up again for bird flu.

The Money Trail

Why push vaccines for a virus that has caused fewer than 1,000 human cases in 22 years?

Money.

Billions are on the table for pandemic preparedness. Groups like CEPI (founded by Bill Gates and Jeremy Farrar) funnel global funding into vaccine development. Public health agencies are not just regulators anymore—they’re patent holders. NIH employees can earn up to $150,000/year in royalties from products developed on government time.

This isn’t oversight. It’s a business model.

What About the Birds?

Despite massive culling efforts—over 170 million birds killed in recent years—bird flu hasn’t gone away. Wild birds carry the virus with little to no illness. Ducks are mostly unaffected. And there’s no solid evidence that any human has caught bird flu from eating poultry, eggs, or milk.

In other words, the war on birds hasn’t stopped the virus. But it has helped drive up egg prices, bankrupt small farmers, and boost profits for large corporate producers like Cal-Maine, whose stock doubled last year.

Vaccine Safety: Or Lack Thereof

Three human bird flu vaccines are already FDA-approved using the mock-up process. None have undergone large-scale trials. One had just 103 participants—four of whom suffered serious adverse events, including death, stroke, and cancer.

Another showed higher mortality in the vaccinated group than placebo.

And yet, these are the products quietly stockpiled for the next emergency.

What the Data Really Shows

  • Fewer than 1,000 global human bird flu cases since 2003
  • Just one possible U.S. death in recent years—with comorbidities
  • Most human cases had mild symptoms: pink eye, cough, fatigue
  • No known cases of infection from eating cooked poultry or eggs

Despite this, the CDC, FDA, and USDA continue pushing for broader testing, mass vaccination campaigns for poultry and cows, and even considering human vaccination.

Gain-of-Function: The Real Threat?

Dr. Nass warns that any real bird flu pandemic would likely be manufactured—not natural. She highlights known gain-of-function research funded by U.S. agencies, in which scientists made bird flu more deadly and transmissible between mammals (like ferrets) by modifying it in labs.

These experiments, once banned under Obama, resumed in 2017 under weak oversight.

Dr. Robert Redfield, former CDC Director, even claimed recently that such a virus could be created within weeks.

Regulatory Capture and Global Control

The endgame? A global system where untested vaccines can be fast-tracked under emergency authorizations—backed by a pandemic treaty removing liability from manufacturers and harmonizing (i.e., lowering) safety standards worldwide.

Dr. Nass emphasizes: we’re being pushed toward a world where vaccine authorization is based not on rigorous science, but on antibody guesses, mock-up models, and political agendas.

What Can Be Done?

According to Dr. Nass, we need to:

  • Halt the use of mock-up vaccines
  • Repeal laws that allow emergency authorizations without trials
  • Expose the financial conflicts driving these campaigns
  • Demand real science—not PR narratives

And we must resist the normalization of gain-of-function research and pandemic profiteering.

The GoldCare Perspective

This is exactly the kind of fight GoldCare was built for. When public health becomes a playground for global interests, someone has to stand for truth, transparency, and the right to say no.

GoldCare offers what the system hides: unfiltered insight, honest medicine, and a network that doesn’t follow the script.

The bird flu narrative is not about safety. It’s about control.
