There's a vaccine for poultry. The reason the U.S. isn't using it is insane. (www.denverpost.com)

Saved you a click:

If you ask some of the most expert people, and I did, you find out that our government is worried that if we vaccinate broiler hens, which make up a hefty billions in exports, there are some countries that will cease to buy them for their own export rules and regulations. Which means that global trade, not public health or the health of our local farmers, is actually driving the daily killing of poultry and hence, the price of our eggs.

This is actually very interesting- I thought that due to Trump's first term "removing regulations", US chicken was already banned from many countries.

Thank you. How much do I owe you?

Is there a danger in eating vaccinated chickens? Or it just hasn't been tested for yet?
