    People, Trump promised he was going to do something about this, but you all voted for President Musk anyway.

    Whelp, guess it was nice having chickens while we did.

    Somebody better figure out a way to make crickets seem appetizing, ASAP. Otherwise, things might start to get pretty dire around here.

      I wonder if it would work to administer at that kind of scale? Or maybe they only have so much and are keeping it in reserve for humans for now?

        Is there a vaccine for humans against this kind of flu? And will Trump and RFK Jr. ban it and sell Trump Bleach pills instead?

          For H5N1, it seems there are a few vaccines for humans (in addition to vaccinations for poultry):

          Some vaccines also exist for use in humans, and others are in testing. As of July 2024 these include Aflunov, Celldemic and Seqirus/Audenz.[8][9]

          …but it seems the RNA ones are not in production yet?

          I’m picturing an assembly line worker putting a Brainwormz-branded UV tube up the asses of chickens as they go by on a conveyor belt…maybe it will align their chakras at the same time and spritz them with essential oils…

    If the birds weren’t kept in such horrifically constricted locations, many millions wouldn’t need to die.

    Here’s an idea - maybe, just maybe - factory farming at scale to feed the SAD is something that won’t end well for humans either? I mean, beyond the health problems it already causes…
