This ain’t boring. It’s terrifying.
in a country that could start acting against this virus right now with RNA vaccine research has probably closed down all those facilities
... fuck me dead it's infecting mammals now
and the current administration has shuttered the CDC and the NIH, and has withdrawn us from the WHO.
It's been in cows since last March. That's why all the ruckus about "muh rights to drink raw milk!" They were told not to (by the libs) because of bird flu, so... here we are.
Can we start telling them that they can't shot themselves in the fucking face? Will that work?
wow if we could just 'liberal-jacket' an array of wildly self-destructive behaviors maybe we can leverage the trash into taking itself to the curb
it has been for awhile. cats have been dying from it too
withdrawn us from the WHO.
This is happening specifically in US because of its intensive dairy/poultry practices. It is a CDC matter. There happens to exist a chicken vaccine, but "concerns over exports of broiler chickens complying with foreign rules" stops its use. No idea if it makes the chickens unsafe to eat or if it's just never been tested.
Mark my words: there will be food shortages and food riots in America by April.
Plenty of rich to eat.
True! Meats back on the menu fam!
Agreed. Start stocking cans and shotgun shells.
I'll bookmark this comment, not because I don't think it will happen but because I think April is a little too soon I'm giving it more like July August
Agreed at this point it’s honestly day to day with how things are changing for the worse. Be careful out there.
Oh, fantastic. The pandemic-industrial complex is back on the menu. We’ve spent decades industrializing agriculture into viral petri dishes, then act shocked when nature mutates around our hubris. Cows are just the latest domino—watch the blame shift to “wet markets” or migratory birds while factory farms keep hosing antibiotics into troughs.
But sure, let’s hyperventilate about proximity to doom. Never mind that zoonotic spillover’s been a ticking clock since we decided monoculture and profit margins trump ecosystem logic. The real virus here? Capitalism with a side of amnesia.
another pandemic with trump in charge?.......Oh fuck.
Has he closed the CDC yet? Is that for next week?
On Trump's mind, as long as no one reports it then it doesn't really exist. Remember when he said that we need to do testing for COVID to make the numbers go down? Same thing.
Everyone I know who was anti-vax first started with the position that covid was fake. They all look at avian flu as just yet another "attack for pure inconvenience" without any giant profit motive.
Bird flu in cows?
Cows aren't birds, are these scientists stupid?
I think your joke's not getting through to people :D
So this will just fix itself.
I'm almost done transitioning my family to drink oat mil..juice instead.
Don't worry, it'll be gone by easter.
Don't worry, Americans. JFK will protect you, won't he?
Keep eating meat, wackos.
You don’t eat dairy cows.
a dary cow is usually productive for, at most, 5 years. what do you think happens to them after that?
Taco bell specifically buys old dairy cows
I'm not worried about a new pandemic. Trumpy Dumpy, Muskie, and Mr. Brain Worms will get us though it; plus or minus a few million dead people.
Just in time for the hero to save the day with the ol' UV lung-bleach-brush combo move and horse dewormer aperitif.
Idea:
Stop eating (that much) animal products!!
If you eat the fleshoft a cow that died out of olf age after her natural death...or eat few eggs (chicken period) then that's all fine.
Nobody is hurt, no one lives in a cage oft their own body size full of excrements increasing the probability of diseases
Can we please have a pandemic that wipes out the rich?
Fuck them vegans am i right?
