Key Topics Discussed in Today’s Show:

1. The Origins of the Bird Flu Narrative:

Pam reflects on her book, The Great Bird Flu Hoax, and the events of 2005-2006 that inspired it. She describes how fear campaigns targeted small farmers and sustainable agriculture, while factory farms—centers of unhygienic and unsustainable practices—were left unaddressed. The book became a New York Times bestseller, revealing public interest in exposing hidden agendas.

2. Factory Farming, Terrain Health, and Fear Campaigns:

Pam explains how poor conditions in factory farms lead to sick animals and mass culling. She emphasizes the role of terrain health—not germs—in disease resistance. Drawing on historical examples, she highlights the lost wisdom of hygiene, sunlight, and clean environments in promoting health.

3. PCR Testing and Inflated Case Numbers:

Brett and Pam discuss how PCR testing with high cycle thresholds is used to inflate “cases” in both animals and humans. They question the legitimacy of testing protocols driving mass culling and vaccine campaigns, often without symptoms or clear evidence of illness.

4. Parallels Between the Bird Flu and Current Narratives:

Brett and Pam unpack the similarities between the 2006 bird flu scare and current health narratives. They explore how centralized control over food and health systems is expanding through public fear and technocratic solutions.
