A two-year-old girl in southern India has died from bird flu after eating raw chicken. This is the first human fatality in India linked to the H5N1 strain since 2021.
The toddler, from Palnadu district in Andhra Pradesh state, died on March 15th after developing fever, breathing difficulties, and diarrhea. Damodar Naidu, the director of animal husbandry in Andhra Pradesh, said the child was admitted to the hospital two to three days after consuming the raw chicken.

A sample test for avian influenza of H5N1 strain at the hospital returned positive, and the patient eventually died despite receiving appropriate medical treatment, the hospital said in a statement. According to a report by The Independent, the child was initially admitted to a local health center. She was later taken to a city hospital on March 4th after her condition deteriorated.

The Independent says that there is no way to know if the child ate the raw meat intentionally or if she was fed it on purpose. No one else in the girl’s family has tested positive for the bird flu.
“There were isolated outbreaks in February, but effective control measures were implemented promptly,” Mr Naidu said. “No traces of the virus were found in the surveyed areas.” However, he urged the public to consume only properly cooked chicken and eggs. “Poultry should be cooked to at least 70C. Eggs should be boiled and not eaten raw,” he said.
Last year, the strain spread rapidly in United States dairy cow herds, and the U.S. Centres for Disease Control described it as an “ongoing multi-state outbreak.”
Bird Flu Response Staff Laid Off Under Trump
The U.S. has long relied on mass slaughter of entire flocks of birds to prevent the spread of bird flu. Not only has it not been working, but the cruel practice is finally losing its favor amongst the public. Egg prices are sky-high, and the public is not concerned about this “threat” in any way. After the botched COVID-19 scamdemic, we can rest assured that the ruling class will eventually need to ratchet up the fear to manufacture compliance. How much longer will they drag it out? It is difficult to say. What do you think?
