People talking about the price of eggs really shows how uninformed and ignorant your are. Eggs are expensive because millions of chickens where killed due to bird flue nothing to do with politics or economic policy.
The USDA fired staffers working on bird flu. Now it's trying to reverse course
That's how a corporate culling works u cull more than u think then u bring back the bits u need.
even corporations wouldn't be stupid enough to fire people working on H5 response at the onset of a possible pandemic. If you end up removing people in critical roles then you delay response to a situation where weeks matter.
Again if u read the science then u would understand most experts in the field are not significantly concerned about a pandemic in the near term. And u would also know that we should be applying the lessons from covid19 such as travel restrictions being mostly ineffective and cheap easily accessible testing is far more important than anticipated, that traditional anti viral medication is still effective etc etc.
If they haven't learned from and can't apply the science from the last pandemic then they aren't doing their job.
