UN: Humans more likely spreaders of avian influenza

THE UNITED NATIONS' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said it was
unreasonable to blame wild birds as the source of H5N1 or bird flu in
the
absence of rigorous research into their role in the ecology and dynamics
of
the virus.

The FAO admitted that avian influenza was a complex issue in which wild
birds had most often been identified as the culprits.
"It is indeed likely that they can introduce the disease to unaffected
areas
from countries in which the disease has already been identified -- but
the
disease is spread through the human activities of poultry production,
improper hygiene and uncontrolled commercialization," the UN agency
said.

Obviously Britain's bent vets know more than the FAO.

The SVS has blamed wild birds for the recent Norfolk outbreak.

But that was not H5N1.

Correct. But it is still avian flu and there is no reason to think that the
methods of spread are any different.

Again and again, you will see the same pattern in Britain to explain import,
export and internal spread of animal disease.

Anything will do providing it does not implicate modern farming techniques
or indeed anything else that would put the blame at the door of Britain's
bent vets.

At first, to me, it looked like the veterinary profession and industrial
scale farming unconsciously persuading themselves of what they wanted to be
true. To some extent that was, and remains right. People do persuade
themselves of almost anything.

However, what happened here, Waugh and later the Bushmeat Fabrication made
it quite clear that there was indeed a conspiracy to deceive. It was
actually a quite sophisticated exploitation of existing prejudice, but I'm
quite sure that it will, in the end, fail.


News reports during the last few months leave me with the very
strong impression that the FAO is correct. They certainly do not say
that *all* outbreaks have been caused by the human activities
mentioned in the article. Some outbreaks seem most likely to have
been caused by migrating birds.

That may well be true, it Britain it will be made true. The only remaining
question is who knew and when they knew.

Don't foget that the PM gave evidence to the FMD enquiry in private. Why?

Can you think of a reason why he should do so?

Isn't Britain lucky to have an organisation which, in the words of Jim
Webster, " was panned by three independent reports." in charge?

They brought the world BSE and Britain CSF and FMD, can you imagine
what they can do with avian flu?
