FDA and USDA: 20.1% of 144 pasteurized dairy products were PCR + for bird flu with no live virus, while NONE of 23 raw milk cheeses were PCR + nor grew live virus

Bottom line: You can't catch bird flu from dairy products or milk, and RAW milk products were the cleanest
FDA and USDA purchased and tested 144 pasteurized dairy products and 23 raw milk cheeses from around the US with quantitative real time reverse transcription PCR tests seeking evidence of HPAI bird flu viruses. The PCR test only looks for a small, nonviable segment of virus, in this case part of the matrix gene.
Then the researchers tried to grow out virus using embryonated chicken eggs. As in previous tests, none of the RAW or pasteurized dairy products grew out any bird flu virus.
It has been suggested that enzymes in raw milk are antiviral and these enzymes are destroyed by pasteurization.

Comment from Dr. Sin Hang Lee, an expert in PCR testing and retired professor of lab pathology at Yale Med School:
It is a very complex technology to detect H5 sequences in dairy products. It needs so many kinds of "software" to assemble sequence fragments. I am not sure if all these "sequences" were truly of viral origin.
There are many LPAI viruses with the H5 gene (H5N2, H5N3, H5N4 H5N5, H5N6.....). We need simple implementable routine sequencing-based tests for cellular H1N1/H5N1 (and other avian viruses) in animal and human specimens. (If you find viral genomic sequence in the cell fraction of the nose or trachea swab, you know the sequence is from the virus. Free viral sequences cannot survive in animal cells.)
Best,

Raw milk and dairy products have *always* been cleaner/safer. Small operations can't afford to have people getting sick from their product so they go through great lengths to insure sanitation, good treatment of the animals, etc. (I grew up on a small farm/ranch and we had milk cows so I know what goes on behind the scenes). People don't even realize that mass produced milk is allowed to have certain amounts of pus and all kinds of other garbage in it because it is "pasteurized" and sometimes "homogenized" that supposedly kills the bad stuff in the pus and other garbage. There was a time in our history where pasteurization was very necessary (filthy conditions, cattle being brought right into the city, etc). Just like with diseases that supposedly needed a "vaccine" to "cure", once we cleaned things up, got running water, plumbing, sewage, etc, we no longer needed unnatural ways to fix things. This whole "raw milk" issue is completely political and part of the greater agenda of shutting down mean, poultry and dairy so we can all eat bugs and own nothing and "be happy".
Dear LORD it's good to hear basic common sense. The globalist must be stopped, arrested & imprisoned for their attack on humanity!
