Believing that culling flocks was an overreach of the Biden administration, the new policy seems to focus on other methods to contain H5N1 from spreading. I guess we'll see how well that works out.

Prediction: Other methods won't work as well because bird flu is extremely contagious.

If other methods worked better, they would be recommend by the World Health Organization.

Germ theory is woke, embrace miasma theory; this is a dragon's doing. If we simply slay the dragon breathing poisonous miasma on our chickens, we won't need to cull the flock.

For a group of people with an apparent aversion to vaccines, this plan seems heavily dependent on vaccines...

But wait! They are not going to be given to PEOPLE! They will only be injected into the food that people eat!

I got 20 bucks that says that guy has no idea what biosecurity even means
