BREAKING – USDA Approval Imminent for H5N1 Bird Flu Vaccine in Cattle
According to a Medgene press release:
Medgene’s H5N1 vaccine for dairy cattle has met all requirements of USDA’s platform technology guidelines and is in the final stages of review for conditional license approval.
Medgene has also just signed a distribution agreement with Elanco Animal Health, which includes “commercialization of a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) vaccine for use in dairy cattle.”
According to Mark Luecke, CEO of Medgene:
With our critically important H5N1 vaccine for dairy cattle in the final stages of approval, we’re excited to partner with Elanco to quickly bring this much needed solution to U.S. dairies.
Medgene CTO, Alan Young explains:
We have been working with USDA-CVB who has been reviewing the data for our H5N1 vaccine for several months. We believe our most recent data will completely satisfy the standard for ‘reasonable expectation of efficacy’ and conditional license approval. Vaccines need to be made available quickly to animal owners and veterinarians who need them, so the partnership with Elanco helps to make sure our H5N1 vaccines for dairy cattle can be distributed without delay once the USDA makes a final decision to vaccinate.
The Medgene H5N1 vaccine is a protein-based subunit vaccine developed using the company’s “prescription platform technology”. The production process involves a baculovirus expression system in insect cell culture, where only specific viral proteins, such as the hemagglutinin (HA) protein, are generated. The vaccine is created by inserting the H5N1 gene sequence into the platform vector, leading to the production of the target protein, which is then purified, inactivated, and combined with an adjuvant to enhance the immune response.
Mass vaccination of cattle against H5N1 using a non-sterilizing vaccine amid a widespread animal pandemic can lead to serious risks:
- Accelerated Viral Evolution: Non-sterilizing immunity allows the virus to replicate in vaccinated hosts, applying selective pressure that can lead to antigenic escape mutations.
- Increased Risk of Zoonotic Spillover: Mutations under immune pressure could enhance the virus’s ability to bind human receptors, raising the risk of cross-species transmission and human infection.
- Silent Reservoirs in Vaccinated Cattle: Subclinical infections in vaccinated cattle could create undetected viral reservoirs, allowing the virus to mutate and circulate without obvious signs of illness.
- Inadequate Testing of Rapidly Updated Vaccines: The prescription platform technology enables quick adaptation of the vaccine, but there is a risk that insufficient testing could fail to catch safety or efficacy issues in new formulations.
For field testing of H5N1 livestock vaccines, the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics has stated:
Studies that are limited to non-viable, non-replicating vaccines do not cause virus shedding. Vaccinated cattle will not transmit virus to other animals, milk, meat, people or into the environment. Therefore, these cattle and their products do not present a risk to human health and will stay in normal production.
In other words, meat and dairy products from cattle vaccinated with the Medgene H5N1 vaccine have likely already entered the food supply, as these cattle were included in the field testing phase.
In conclusion, approval of mass cattle vaccination against H5N1 using a non-sterilizing vaccine poses significant risks, including the potential for accelerated viral evolution, antigenic escape, and the creation of silent viral reservoirs in vaccinated cattle. Given these dangers, moving forward with a mass vaccination campaign could worsen the current outbreak, leading to more resilient and transmissible H5N1 strains.

The jab campaign for C19 was an ABJECT FAILURE by any metric.
The concealment of the side effects and deaths of the C19 jab, means the DS has forever changed ‘medicine’ into a genocidal monster. And the ACA trapped us into being the victim and financial supporter of the malevolent ‘medical’ industry.
Enjoy today, there won’t be very many tomorrows.

I sure hope Kennedy is on top of this…and that he’s better at HIS job than Pam Bondi is at being AG.

when the MRNA shots were tried on cows during SARS-1 they all died on the second exposure. I don’t think the immunity from liability for vaccines applies to animal shots. Moderna may soon be in the dead cow business.
