Avian flu is evolving. How worried should the world be?: It used to be a threat almost exclusively to the poultry industry. But the current strain of H5N1 avian flu has spent the past year infecting millions of wild birds, thousands of mammals, and even humans. To experts who track the disease, it's clear something is up. But we're not yet sure what comes from it. The virus could become more contagious in mammals, but less harmful. It could remain difficult to transmit widely outside of bird populations. It could, theoretically, go away gradually. But it also might not. There is pandemic potential here and the questions on experts' minds is if we are sleepwalking towards another disaster...

Tue 24 Aug: VAXWARZ - Kill Shots - Mil Targets - Shady Labs - Paid2Jab - Stat Lies - Fake Approval: This show will trigger the safeguarding of the US Military. It's all vax lies with fake data, fake studies, fake approval. ChyNa and Germany team up for vax production. No real US reviews. Into who's arms? Our troops? Kill shots? We must help our own NOW! Sketchy places and hidden locations. FDA scams to hide the collapse of PedoJo. Vaxt are lab rats and always were. A placebo in your state? Pharma won't say. Hey, it's 95% effective, in 1% of the cases. Demons attacking real doctors. Disgusting paid VAXRS. 40k per child? Better find a hiding place. Soros nursing unions, vax tags marking subgroups, perfect $$ scams, it just goes on and on. It's time to put on the armor of God because we're going to need it. by The Tore Says Show

Wed 30 Jun: Nano Wars - Crow Eating - Plan Perfect - NSA Spies - Graphene Scene - Vax Hax - Inverted Hope: Why are they reporting on this now? We knew about the NSA spying long ago, and told you. Nobody wanted the truth. The judicial corruption and fake news is cover. The amazing Shiff faced liar. Knowingly and willingly. Obsolete media and internet controls. The payoff is access to corruption. Chemistry class redux. Walking proteins and modified tangles. Graphene as a binder is just the start. Ligands, clots and your personal operating system. Brave doctors do exist. What they are doing is hacking humans, via vaccines. The importance of an unaltered genetic code. What's mirrored and inserted may be neutralized. Have faith and look out for each other. by The Tore Says Show

Ep 133 Parvoviruses: Who let the dogs (and their viruses) out?: This one’s not just for the dogs. It’s also for the cats, the raccoons, the wax moths, the birds, the mice, and so many other critters. Oh, and of course the humans. Even though most of us may be familiar with parvovirus through our canine friends, the world of parvoviruses is much larger. In this episode, we explore that world, focusing first on the biology of these tiny DNA viruses and how they make us sick before tracing the history of their discovery and the pandemic spread of canine parvovirus just a few short decades ago. We are joined by the amazing Dr. Steph Horgan Smith who acts as our veterinary tour guide through the animal world of these viruses and why vaccination against them is so incredibly important. Finally, we round out the episode with some of the latest research on these viruses, featuring some very cool, very promising work on using the dependoparvoviruses as a tool for gene therapy.
