Incredibly, some experts fear the killer bug, which has made the jump from birds to mammals, may have been weaponized through genetic engineering!
"This appears to be 100 times worse than COVID - or it could be if it mutates and maintains its highcase fatality rate," warns bird flu researcher Dr. Suresh Kuchipudi, who adds the H5N1 strain outbreak is "dangerously close" to triggering a new global pandemic.
Dr. Kuchipudi is not alone in his fears. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has already issued an alert to inform healthcare centers and the public of the confirmed human infection.
"The most serious life-threatening infections come when a virus moves from an animal or bird species and mutates so it is able to attack humans," explains longevity expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin.
Speaking about the outbreak during an emergency briefing at the White House, Dr. Kuchipudi notes the microbe has already been detected in multiple species throughout the world and "has shown the ability" to spread virally among humans.
