Are we ready for plandemic 2.0? This is the question on many people’s minds as the FDA recently issued Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for mRNA bird flu vaccines. The timing of this decision is raising eyebrows, considering that no one is currently sick or dying from bird flu. The parallels to the rush for a COVID-19 vaccine under Operation Warp Speed are hard to ignore.
Under Operation Warp Speed, pharmaceutical companies were given unprecedented freedom to develop a vaccine for immediate use against COVID-19. This sense of urgency led to shortcuts in testing and research, and later, reports of adverse reactions and deaths associated with the vaccines. Now, as we gear up for the next phase of Operation Warp Speed in 2026, the FDA has fast-tracked the development of a new mRNA vaccine for the bird flu.
The decision to roll out a vaccine for a virus that has only caused 11 human infections in the United States since 2022 may seem like an overreaction. However, recent research from Cornell University suggests that the bird flu could pose a greater threat than previously thought. The discovery of mammal-to-mammal transmission of the H5N1 avian flu virus raises concerns about potential mutations and spillover into humans.
But with so few cases of human infection, how will authorities create a sense of urgency around the bird flu vaccine? The stage is set for a narrative that highlights the dangers of a “new strain” of the virus and emphasizes the need for protection. As we navigate this new chapter in the pandemic era, it will be important to stay informed and critically evaluate the information that is presented to us.
