Summary

The worst avian flu outbreak in U.S. history has affected 150 million birds and led to 67 human cases, including one death.

Egg farmers have spent hundreds of millions on biosecurity, but infections persist, with 23 cases linked to commercial poultry. Lateral spread has dropped from 70% to 15%, yet outbreaks continue.

Industry leaders push for vaccination, despite fears of losing $6 billion in exports and 200,000 jobs.

The USDA is considering a vaccine stockpile, but farmers warn they are "losing the battle."

Don't worry, either is immigrant's fault or the problem don't exist. Either way a fucking concrete wall will fix everything 👍

Good. We should never have eggs again.
