(READ)Three snow leopards at zoo die of 'Covid complications'

Dated: November 20, 2021 by Sharyl Attkisson 9 Comments

      

Three snow leopards recently died from Covid-19 complications at the Nebraska Zoo in Lincoln, Nebraska.

That's according to an article in Medscape, and confirmed by the zoo on its Facebook page.

The mountain cats tested positive for the coronavirus in mid-October, according to reports. Zoo staff had been treating the leopards with steroids and antibiotics for the past month, according to The New York Times .

Zoo officials wrote on their Facebook page: "This loss is truly heartbreaking, and we are all grieving together."

Two Sumatran tigers also tested positive for Covid in October, but made a "seemingly full recovery," according to the zoo's statement.

The staff did not say whether the animals had been vaccinated against Covid-19.

This summer, some zoo animals in the U.S. were immunized with an experimental Covid-19 vaccine created by the Zoetis veterinary pharmaceutical company, the New York Times reported.

Throughout the US, several zoos, including the Denver Zoo, have reported Covid cases among animals. In Denver, officials reported just last week that there were cases among two spotted hyenas.

The Denver Zoo also reported 11 lions and two tigers tested positive for Covid-19, but have either recovered or are in the process of recovering.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) does not rule out that animals may be transmitting Covid-19 to people. On its website, the agency says it doesn't know too much about Covid transmission between animals and people, though it would seem to be a very critical area to study and learn more about.

According to CDC:

  • "Based on the available information to date, the risk of animals spreading SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to people is considered to be low.
  • We are still learning about this virus, but we know that it can spread from people to animals in some situations, especially during close contact.
  • More studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by COVID-19.
  • People with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 should avoid contact with animals, including pets, livestock, and wildlife."

Also, according to CDC:

"Based on the available information to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.

At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to people. More studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by SARS-CoV-2.

Some coronaviruses that infect animals can be spread to people and then spread between people, but this is rare. This is what happened with SARS-CoV-2, which likely originated in bats."

It should be noted that many scientists and authorities dispute the final statement made above by CDC, that Covid-19 or "SARS-CoV-2" "likely originated in bats."

    Sharyl, most of us have grown weary and distrustful of ANY opinion the CDC or FDA has to share re: C-19 and Sars-Cov-2. One thing I do want to congratulate you on was asking and not getting a comment as to whether the animals had been vaccinated against C-19. I wonder if that information is FOIA-able?

    Are there any financial gains for a zoo to mark an animalโ€™s death due to COVID-19?

    As we observe soaring Covid-19 cases in many of the most heavily-vaccinated countries in the world, it's time to ask whether these vaccines - despite their apparent short-term benefits in preventing serious complications from the disease - are somehow prolonging the epidemic by short-circuiting herd immunity. Are the vaccines actually incubating the virus, i.e., mitigating symptoms without actually destroying the virus itself? Are the so-called "breakthrough" cases actually cases of new infection, or something triggered by the vaccines?

    Then there are the ongoing questions about adverse side effects from the vaccines themselves - the short-term effects we've already seen, as well as the more insidious long-term effects that some researchers have warned about. (This latter point sometimes verges into conspiracy theories about the vaccines being a deliberate method of global population reduction, and should be approached with caution. However, we need to keep an eye on the data without immediately jumping to speculation that sets us up for ridicule and provides an easy excuse for vaccine proponents to ignore the data.)

      Stephen,

      My wife, Susan, did some research,
      and sent this to me :

      I thought the following statement,
      in below URL article, should have
      been sourcedโ€”with a footnote.

      The statement was:

      โ€œBill Gates told the world a few years
      back, at a TED conference, that he
      planned to reduce the worldโ€™s popula-
      tion by a few billion people, by using
      vaccines. Remember? How is that a :
      C O N S P I R A C Y Theory [[ Rickโ€™s caps ]]
      if he said it, on video!; and as the #1
      multi-billionaire promoter of vaccines
      worldwide?โ€

      The article :
      https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-11-17-top-10-signs-that-covid-vaccines-are-bioweapons.html

      So, l found Gatesโ€™ TED talks, and read
      the transcripts, until I found this in a
      talkโ€”termed : โ€œInnovating to zero!โ€œ

      Hereโ€™s the statement he made.
      @ 04:21 :

      โ€œFirst, we've got population. The world
      today has 6.8 billion people. That's
      headed up to about nine billion. Now,
      if we do a really great job on new
      vaccines, health care, reproductive
      health services, we could lower that by,
      perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there,
      we see an increase of about 1.3.โ€

      - end of Susanโ€™s research -

      -Rick

    Detailed contact tracing could help figure if breakthrough infections come from an outside source or occur in a vaccinated person. A study involving vaccinated people, who quarantine could help show if this happens.

    I'm no vet but the details here seem critically important.

    Coronaviruses generally speaking are found in most animal species, so did they find the exact same SARS-CoV-2 strain as is said to cause illness in humans or was it another? Ultimately this is a question I'd assume of how it was determined, in so many words the type of test and reliability. If they ran a RT-PCR with Ct of >35 then they could claim it was literally any strain they wanted.

    And how can they verify these creatures had the actual disease COVID-19 they describe in humans? Our own house cats both tested for a coronavirus a couple of years ago before the current pandemic and subsequent insanity had even started. Neither of them had any real symptoms and whatever infection they had was gone in a following annual check up.

    Not to mention that many epidemiologists have repeatedly said that coronaviruses generally are impossible to truly contain in humans because they have an animal reservoir to draw upon for continued mutation and spread.
