  1. Correction: California IS a state of emergency. They have declared emergency 37 times in the last 5 years averaging a state of emergency declaration every 1.6 months

  2. Something is being cooked for the upcoming DT presidency. It is from US 🥼 😅 From the lab in Fort Detrick in Maryland???

  3. Acting like this is the first time H5N1 has infected humans in history there’s been hundreds of infections perhaps even thousands if you include undiagnosed cases and yet no mutation causing human transmission has ever occurred so why does this woman come on every single week the past 10 months telling us it becomes more likely how much more likely can we possibly get after all these infections??

  4. CBS is owned by Paramount Global which is operated by the Estate of Sumner Redstone, AKA, (((Rothstein))) 👃
    Current CTO=(((Phil Wiser))) 👃

  5. It's one thing after another. The opposition is trying too hard to create chaos and distractions to avoid being held accountable. Things will only get stranger and stranger as the weeks pass before Trump assumes office. They're trying to make us forget

  6. This is a lie. Please do not believe anything they say. Thousands of people are dying of all kinds of diseases and there is no emergency for them.

  7. They want us terrified and know from the pandemic that they can do it! We keep falling for it. Don't believe the lies. California is a dumpster fire that has its flames fanned over and over.

  8. There are just under 3 million migratory bird Hunters in the USA not including Canada Mexico and the rest of the world.

  9. We've all seen this play out before during the Covid-19 Plan—Demic! Don't listen to these clowns! You've lost all accountability and public trust! Greed and control are your only motivators!

  10. Funny that a bird flu conference was held in Washington in Oct…just like Event 201 was held just before Covid. These are planned psyops. Wake up people
