Vaccines could be a key means of suppressing bird flu and avoiding the slaughter of millions of chickens, which is blamed for egg prices averaging nearly $5 a dozen.

There are fears that vaccinating could allow the virus to linger undetected in flocks and mutate in ways that could make it more of a threat to humans

Huh. There's good reasons to not vaccinate them. I want epidemiologists and doctors making this decision, I'm more worried about another pandemic than I am about egg prices.

No, actually. They should still be vaccinated, they just also need to stop overcrowding them in deeply unsanitary and hellish conditions.

Ideally, of course, you would just stop raising them entirely as people transition to less destructive and unethical foods.
