Former CDC Director warns of impending bird flu pandemic, emphasizing the need for preparedness.
Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield has issued a stark warning about the inevitability of a bird flu pandemic, stating that it is not a matter of if, but when.
Dr. Redfield, who served as the CDC Director from 2018 to 2021, emphasized the importance of being prepared for such a pandemic, given the potential severity of the H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu.
"We will have a bird flu pandemic," Dr. Redfield said in a recent interview. "It's just a matter of time."
The H5N1 virus has been responsible for numerous outbreaks in birds and has occasionally infected humans, with a high fatality rate. However, it has not yet demonstrated the ability to spread easily from human to human.
Dr. Redfield's warning comes at a time when the world is still grappling with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has underscored the importance of being prepared for such health crises.
