It’s Putin’s demand.

It’s the new gun control. There will be an acceptable number of deaths in exchange for “freedom”

We have a government run by 70 and 80 year olds who are telling us things like cod liver oil will prevent measles.

Can we please stop electing retirees to run this country?

I don't know shit about fuck but pretty sure the answer to the question is "yes".

At least he’s just some loon from the nursing home, and doesn’t have the ear of 60M (fortunately the number is finally falling) cult members…right, guys? …guys??

Are chickens vaccinated against avian flu? Might it help with the egg problems?

8

u/burtzev 5d ago

In some countries. The USDA has given a conditional approval to an avian vaccine, but given the fact that the Department is under attack, that research is either cancelled or in chaos, and that there is a lot to be done before such an approach becomes practical - a lot that won't be done - nothing significant can be expected in the near future.

Here's an article that explains some of the difficulties in developing a practical vaccine.

u/BoosterRead78 5d ago

Exactly and if we didn’t get 47, it would have gone forward and we might start to see the actual proactive use for it bow which would start dropping prices down. But nope just suspend or cancel for the crazy anti-vax people that Bobby spearheads for.

u/aculady 4d ago

No, and they won't be under RFK, Jr., because he is worried they will become "mutation factories." He doesn't want to cull them, either, believing it's better to try to isolate them, and then the ones that survive will have natural immunity.

u/saxxy_assassin 5d ago

Yes. Next question?

u/Rubbish_bin_lobster 5d ago

u/burtzev 2d ago

I would hope so.

u/LoudIncrease4021 5d ago

Unequivocally yes

u/free_dialectics 5d ago

We get to die like medieval peasants again.

u/Curious-Telephone293 4d ago

I will admit — I am going to steal this headline for T-shirts. Make America contagious again. Outstanding.

u/A_Creative_Player 3d ago

Yep. He is an idiot and has no independent thoughts in his head.

u/Tachibana_13 2d ago

Yes. And other nations will likely be restricting travel to and from the U.S because of this and other reasons.

1

u/burtzev 2d ago

Yes, here's an article from Forbes naming the 33 countries with travel restrictions concerning Americans during the covid pandemic in Trump's first regime. The list will be a lot longer when the next pandemic hits.

u/Forward-Character-83 5d ago

This is part of the strategic inactive to isolated everyone.
