The government funds were coursed through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), an agency under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The money will be used to finish developing and testing an mRNA injection against the H5N1 strain of bird flu pending the results of Phase 1 clinical trials, which are expected to be completed this month. Late-stage testing of the vaccine is set to begin in 2025.
The $176 million contract between Washington and the Massachusetts-based Moderna allows for accelerated vaccine development should human H5N1 cases and/or their severity continue to grow. It shares similarities with the earlier Operation Warp Speed, the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) shot development initiative in 2020.
Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel confirmed that his company received the $176 million federal grant in a statement, adding: "mRNA vaccine technology offers advantages in efficacy, speed of development, and production scalability and reliability in addressing infectious disease outbreaks."
The bird flu virus primarily infects birds but can sometimes infect other animals. It spreads through direct contact with infected birds or their droppings, feathers, or saliva. But following the failures of COVID-19 and monkeypox to usher in the medical police state globalists are much eager to impose, they have now turned to bird flu as the next "disease to watch out for" – and the next tool for making the population submit.

The first outbreak of the H5N1 avian influenza virus in dairy cattle was reported in March, and the avian virus reportedly has since infected more than 130 cattle herds in 12 states. Given this, health authorities have expressed concern over the possibility of the bird flu virus mutating and jumping to humans. However, such a possibility would only be true if the virus was subjected to manipulation in a laboratory.
Public health officials ramp up the bird flu fearmongering
According to Dawn O'Connell, HHS assistant secretary for preparedness and response, the risk of bird flu to the general public remains low and vaccination is not currently recommended. However, she added that the government is expected to have more announcements on bird flu vaccines soon. Aside from Moderna, the government is also in negotiations with Pfizer about developing an mRNA vaccine for bird flu.
Like many viral infections, infected individuals can have mild symptoms or none at all. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most common symptoms in those affected with bird flu include pink eye (conjunctivitis), fever, sore throat and cough, with pneumonia being a serious complication.
While H5N1 is not currently transmissible between humans, other experts including former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield warned that could change. Back in 2012, he touched on gain-of-function research and the ease of making H5N1 highly pathogenic.
"I really do think it's very like that we will, at some time – it's not a question of if, it's more a question of when – have a bird flu pandemic," Redfield said at the time. "I know exactly what amino acids I have to change because in 2012, against my recommendation, the scientists that did these experiments actually published them. So the recipe for how to make bird flu highly infectious for humans is already out there."
