RFK and Sec of ag want to let bird flu run wild

Hmmm..
The way we raise birds now, there’s not a lot of genetic variability,” Dr. Hansen said. “They’re all the same bird, basically.”

Absurd, but let’s assume that’s true - there would be absolutely no benefit to seeing which birds survive if genetic diversity is that low.

Probably is true and that’s the real problem

So, the FDA/USDA should require poultry producers to increase genetic diversity to hedge against disease and maybe even ban the use of antibiotics in flocks raised for meat or egg production?

What you gonna do, brother, when the bird flu runs wild on you?

Well, egg prices might have to increase…

Sounds much like trump’s herd immunity idea for Covid-19. Stupid!

For such a big man, little “package.”

Make American leadership smart again.

Yes, this limits the ability of the infection to jump to other species/humans.

But if you rub Robitussin on it, then you can't get sick

Vertical immunity selection resulting in an animal monoculture sets the stage for catastrophic future risk.

I was just about to say that
