Keith Poulsen’s jaw dropped when farmers showed him images on their cellphones at the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin in October. A livestock veterinarian at the University of Wisconsin, Poulsen had seen sick cows before, with their noses dripping and udders slack.
RFK Jr. is going to be heading the Dept. of Health and Human Services…which establishes national vaccine rollout programs. He’s an anti-vaxxer. He will do everything in his power to see that any vaccine programs are extremely difficult to rollout if not impossible to establish. Your best bet will likely be full masks and isolation (i.e. 2020 again).
This is crazy too, because as a falconer RFK should be extremely familiar with bird flu. We’ve been dealing with it for years and there’s a story of someone’s falcon or hawk dying from it semi-often. If he’s part of a club he’ll get HPAI reports even. I went to the national meet a few weeks ago and they separate birds that chase ducks and birds that don’t (quarantine zones).
Although I guess it’s possible to know something exists and deny that it has a solution. So dumb.
