This is from 2005
China claims to be well on the way towards vaccinating every domestic bird in the country against avian flu. The bold scheme — which would mean inoculating some 14 billion birds — was announced on 15 November and comes in response to outbreaks that animal-health officials say are dangerously widespread. On 16 November, China confirmed its first two human cases of bird flu, one of which was fatal.

A new strain developed in 2013 and was essentially eradicated by developing a new vaccine for the birds.
Why aren’t we doing so in the US??? We have an effective vaccine!

However, despite seemingly having an effective vaccine in hand, as of late April, the USDA is still not pursuing bird flu vaccination as a disease control strategy. “While USDA is exploring the possibility of developing a poultry H5N1 vaccine to stock and use in an emergency, we are not moving forward with a HPAI vaccination program at this time,”
The biggest sticking point is around trade. The US exported more than $5 billion in poultry meat and products on average every year for the past three years. The USDA enters into trade agreements with each individual country it trades with, explained Upali Galketi Aratchilage, a senior economist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Each agreement outlines specific biosafety and production requirements that both countries agree to follow. The USDA said, in an email to Vox, that many of those agreements do not allow bird flu vaccination.
Every single bird that is infected gives the virus another million chances to mutate into something 100x worse than COVID. And we are not doing it because of the fucking cost to GDP.
Because Americans don’t believe in disease until they are literally witnessing it firsthand at which point they become absolutely certain that there was never anything they could have done about it
And then after the disease’s host is cured or dead, they go back to not believing in disease at all
If it’s not happening right in front of them right at this exact moment it isn’t real.
I mean that’s your average burgerlander, but I think the reality is much worse
We have vaccines, but they won’t do it because it would cost money.
People are saying it every day
Ok, is this Maduro? I’ve always thought so but not sure.

I’m going to choose to believe that it is Maduro
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
50% chance they don’t believe it then either
I’m reminded of those people slowly drowning in their own mucus lying in a hospital bed and still not believing that covid was real
Happened to my mother who was a worker in 2020. Said she saw people die of Covid who would not believe they had it. Their families wouldn’t, either. Now when they die of Covid even the hospitals say it’s something else to deny it. I don’t know how to not be doomer about this tbh.
The angloid mind believes in one thing: “only things that effect me personally, matter. Screw everyone else.”
