@AkaSci #Trump blames #Eggprices on killing chickens. But #chickens w #birdflu do not produce eggs, infect more chickens, who then also do not produce eggs, but only keep increasing the population of infected birds that don't lay eggs while costing farmers for feed and care they can't afford w no egg sales income. The answer is to defeat bird flu, however slow that will be. Raising chickens to be infected at home doesn't work where it is prohibited (my neighborhood) or for apartment dwellers.

“…every infection is a chance for the virus to mutate into a more virulent form, one of which could mutate so it could spread among humans. If H5N1 were permitted to infect 5 million birds, “that’s literally five million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,”…”

“…Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proposed addressing the H5N1 bird flu…by simply letting the disease run rampant. … But veterinary scientists say that letting the virus sweep through flocks is “a really terrible idea, for any one of a number of reasons”…”

This is why Canada has plenty of eggs — and the U.S. doesn't

Egg farms in Canada are much smaller, so when one farm does suffer a flu outbreak, the effects are less far-reaching. The typical egg farm in Canada has about 25,000 laying hens, whereas many farms in the U.S. have well over a million.

Canada's supply management system, guarantees even small farmers enough income to stay in business.

The deletions began shortly after #Trump took office. #CDC web pages on #vaccines, #HIV prevention, & #ReproductiveHealth went missing. Findings on #BirdFlu transmission vanished minutes after they appeared. The #Census Bureau’s public repository went offline, then returned w/o certain directories of geographic info. The #DOJ expunged the #Jan6th #insurrection from its site, & whitehouse.gov took down an explainer page about the #Constitution.

"Potential #pandemic": #Veterinarians warn of virus now affecting #pets, focus.de/panorama/welt/potenti

#Scientists are concerned that more and more cases of #birdflu are occurring in #pets . According to a report by the "hna", the #H5N1 virus, known as bird flu, is now also infecting #dogs and #cats. Experts are talking about a "silent pandemic" that primarily affects domestic cats.

Don't worry, Trump & his team are ON IT!

"Scientists are sounding alarms about a genetic mutation that was recently ID'd in 4 dairy cow herds, nearly year after H5N1 #BirdFlu 1st reported in TX dairy cattle.

..researchers have dreaded finding bc it is assoc w increased mammal-to-mammal transmission & disease severity.

Mutation appeared in 1st human case. “Finding the same mutation in cows is significant,” an infectious disease expert said"
