In #Phoenix, #BirdFlu is forcing a shutdown of an egg plant, the killing of 6 million chickens, and forcing hundreds of layoffs. Thanks to #Trump cutting the funds for prevention and refusing to approve a vaccine, the economy is heading south. So much for Donald Trump bringing jobs back to the US. 12news.com/article/news/local/

#influenza will eventually hit the jackpot in its endless mutations and cut a scythe across humanity, as it has done time and again throughout history

could be tomorrow

could be in 50 years

no one knows

that #Trump and #RFKJr think it's ok to cut funding for #Moderna's #birdflu #vaccine efforts is simply a bit of science illiteracy and stupidity

they will get the finest healthcare if it happens on their watch, so they don't care

and we could die

for their arrogant ignorance

WTF x600 000 000:

"administration has delivered its latest blow to vaccines, canceling a nearly $600-million contract to the drugmaker Moderna that was intended to develop a shot for humans against bird flu."

"The decision also forfeited the U.S. government’s right to purchase doses ahead of a pandemic, and canceled an agreement set up by the Biden administration in January to prepare the nation for a potential bird flu pandemic. The Moderna contract built on a previous government investment of $175 million last year."

Marty Thomas walking through his empty henhouse after a bird flu outbreak in January led to the deaths of his entire flock of 3,000 hens, in Matteson, Ill., earlier this year.

Oh look, the GOP death cult is on the march. Again.

Captain Brainworm has cut funding for testing bird flu vaccines, because they need testing. Because that’s the sort of “thinking“ that passes for thinking amongst these replicants.
