Did the WEF just officially declare the bird flu as an international pandemic?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : WEF Declares Bird Flu An International Pandemic!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that the WEF just declared the bird flu as an international pandemic!

Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

WEF Officially Declares Bird Flu an ‘International Pandemic’

The World Economic Forum has declared bird flu to be an international pandemic, and has ordered world governments to begin culling billions of chickens.

In America, Colorado has become the first state to enact emergency powers due to the outbreak, and has ordered farmers to slaughter millions of chickens to stop transmission of the disease.

Democrat Gov. Jared Polis announced the disaster emergency declaration last week which “unlocks the resources necessary to help affected poultry facilities respond to and contain outbreaks of avian flu.”

As a result of the incident, 1.78 million chickens will be killed at the Weld County facility where the outbreak occurred, with an afflicted worker reportedly recovering after testing positive and cattle also being affected.

The mass slaughter of close to 2 million chickens prompted concern on social media over the nation’s already beleaguered food supply.

Colorado’s emergency bird flu declaration follows news earlier this month the U.S. government will fund the development of a Moderna bird flu “vaccine” to the tune of $176 million.

The country of Finland also announced late last month they would offer vaccinations for bird flu, despite no documented cases of animal-to-human transmission.

The outbreak is also is drawing comparisons to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, with some fearing it could be used as a pretext to interrupt the 2024 election similar to the Covid pandemic.

Truth : WEF Did Not Declare Bird Flu An International Pandemic!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : WEF Did Not Declare Bird Flu As An International Pandemic!

Let me start by simply pointing out that the World Economic Forum (WEF) did not declare bird flu as an international pandemic. There was no such announcement by the WEF.

If the World Economic Forum actually made such an announcement, it would have been reported worldwide. Yet, there was no such report by the mainstream media… because it was all made up!

In fact, the The People’s Voice article only mentioned the World Economic Forum twice – in its title, and the lede. Thereafter, it never mentioned the WEF, or provide any evidence to support its claim.

Fact #2 : WEF Cannot Declare Any Pandemic

I should also point out that the World Economic Forum cannot declare any pandemic. The WEF is only an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) that focuses on public-private sector collaboration.

The WEF is not a health organisation with the power or authority to declare a pandemic… like the World Health Organization (WHO).

So why on Earth would anyone believe its claim that the WEF just declared bird flu as an international pandemic???

Fact #3 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice.  Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:
