US considers vaccinating chickens to protect from devastating bird flu outbreak that has caused 22 million poultry deaths in America
2022-04-05
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] These things happen, from time to time. Nobody ever bothered with a vaccine before, they just culled the infected flocks.
  • The U.S. Department of Agriculture is considering rolling out a bird flu vaccine for poultry in the country

  • A current outbreak of the avian flue has caused the death of around 22 million birds

  • The outbreak has caused turmoil in the poultry industry over the past few months

  • Humans are relatively safe from the outbreak, with bird-to-human transmission rare and human-to-human transmission likely not possible

#21  I envision one of those "behind the scenes" pr0n videos with Disney Elsa interviewing the chicken and duck in fluffy robes on a 70s style couch, with interspersed clips of avian preversion (that last word with props to Col. Bat Guano.)

#19  Fry the egg. And the chicken. Eat the egg. Give the chicken to the dog. A chicken who would get impregnated by a duck is not fit for human consumption.

#16  First time your chicken lays a duck egg, fry it.

#15  My chickens just started laying. All egg chicken, only 6. I control all the food and water. Everyone should have a couple of chickens in the yard. Free range chicken eat bugs, snakes, lizards, spiders, greens, worms, mice, not their own crap. They might even eat dumb comments and russian trolls too.

#13  #12 - "this chicken tastes like ass"

#12  "Free range" chickens mainly eat each other's droppings. So healthy...

#11  chickens are currently consuming considerable quantities of antibiotics and various hormones

another vax would hardly register

#10  Yes they do. That's why gator meat "tastes just like chicken."
Posted by: M. Murcek   2022-04-05 11:23  

#9  Ed @#5 - Don't they feed the gators a lot of chicken?

#8  Vaccine is now Holy Water of the COVIDian religion. It's water from the tap and does nothing. Oh, a priest waved his hand over it. Nut it's still just water.

But worse for you.

#7  A vaccine is not even a vaccine anymore...
Posted by: M. Murcek   2022-04-05 11:04  

#6  A vaccine is not antibiotic…
Posted by: trailing wife   2022-04-05 11:02  

#5  So, we won't be seeing those "no antibiotics, ever" chicken ads for a while. As an aside, the last time bird flu ran thru, it just about wiped out the alligator farmers down here. Turns out reptiles get bird flu.

#4  I think the standards for pet food are higher. I'm going to try Friskies one of these days.

#3  Whatever is in the Chicken Vax better be proven safe for humans to consume the VAX's meat.

But given the CDC/FDA/NIH recent track record. I can predict a lot 10 hen / 2 rooster dual coops coming to back yards.

#2  You can still afford chicken?
Posted by: M. Murcek   2022-04-05 09:34  

#1  Time to stop eating chicken.
