If the birds weren’t kept in such horrifically constricted locations, many millions wouldn’t need to die.
Ok yeah but have you considered how better treatment would affect their profit margins?
If they gave the birds good living conditions eggs would be very expensive.

But vaccination could put poultry meat exporters (whose birds are genetically less susceptible to H5N1 than laying hens) at risk of losing billions of dollars in international trade deals.
This sounds like maybe a good time to start looking for a more-resistant crossbreed between meat and egg chickens. I mean, it probably doesn’t take long to make up for some loss in egglaying production from a hybrid breed if we’re losing massive numbers of chickens on a regular basis.
Here’s an idea - maybe, just maybe - factory farming at scale to feed the SAD is something that won’t end well for humans either? I mean, beyond the health problems it already causes…
I only know SAD as meaning seasonal affective disorder. What do you mean it as?
SAD=Standard American Diet.
In other words, eating wayyyy too much meat (and eggs/dairy) and very low on fruits and vegetables:
California chiming in: Trumpy just wasted 5 billion gallons of water earmarked for fruits, veg, rice and nuts.
Expect that to be an issue this summer too.
I figure that was purposeful sabotage, but it’s also possible donvict is just really that stupid.
No way. He’s got smart people with him. They know exactly what this is gonna entail. They’re speed running the fall of America now. They’re blitzing it asap before a resistance can form.
Why not both?
People, Trump promised he was going to do something about this, but you all voted for President Musk anyway.
Where’s the RNA vaccine for livestock?
I wonder if it would work to administer at that kind of scale? Or maybe they only have so much and are keeping it in reserve for humans for now?
Is there a vaccine for humans against this kind of flu? And will Trump and RFK Jr. ban it and sell Trump Bleach pills instead?
For H5N1, it seems there are a few vaccines for humans (in addition to vaccinations for poultry):

Some vaccines also exist for use in humans, and others are in testing. As of July 2024 these include Aflunov, Celldemic and Seqirus/Audenz.[8][9]
…but it seems the RNA ones are not in production yet?
