[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no eggs in the grocery store. There are signs about the avian flu.

What is Trump doing about this?

When he said that he was going to bring down the cost of eggs did he mean that they would no longer be available?[/quote]

Influenza A(H5N1) has been spreading in wild birds globally since the mid-1990s and in the United States since 2014.

Six days after Trump is inaugurated, democrats want to know how he’s going to do about it.

What did Biden do about it? Can’t Trump just continue Biden’s successful Bird Flu Eradication campaign?

Yup. Doing the exact same thing as Biden. [/quote]
[quote][b]Why Is the Vaccine Not Used in the US?[/b] (newsweek) 
The U.S. poultry industry is reluctant to vaccinate birds due to the potential impact on exports. Most countries, including major importers of U.S. poultry, refuse to recognize vaccinated meat as bird flu-free.

This has led to fears that vaccination could devastate the nearly $6 billion poultry export market.

"The only reason that we are not vaccinating poultry against bird flu is because the chicken companies don't want to," deCoriolis said. "Industrial meat companies rely on export markets for their business model, and they simply don't want to lose those export markets."

The National Chicken Council has openly cited this concern. In 2023, its senior vice president of communications told CNN that protecting trade relationships was a primary reason for opposing vaccination.

88% of the Council's political donations go to GOP.

Netherlands and France actively vaccinate. One of them had a brief flu-free period but, you know, birds fly and migrate.

I guess, if the world ends up with tariffs all around, like during the Great depression, maybe the NCC will agree to vaccinate poultry. We know for sure they would rather kill birds (which is the current approach) that bring down prices.
