US To Test Vaccines in Poultry as Way to Curb Bird Flu Outbreak
NewsMax ^ | February 16, 2023 | NewsMax

Scientists will begin testing the first vaccines for birds in years as the spread of avian influenza has killed about 58 million birds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

While the outbreak has devastated both wild and commercial bird flocks, many of the dead animals are commercially raised poultry. Shots have been licensed in past outbreaks and poultry are already vaccinated for disease like infectious bronchitis.

USDA spokesman Mike Stepien said the process to license vaccines may be able to be accelerated for emergencies.

Whether vaccines would work against the current strain of bird flu isn't certain.

"There are a lot of moving parts to this kind of testing. And some of it is just pure logistics of getting everything in place to do the testing, getting the vaccines that are updated, getting things from parties that are involved, different manufacturers," Erin Spackman, a virologist who studies avian influenza vaccines at the USDA, told CBS News.

The vaccine trials will offer independent evaluation about how well the vaccine works. Evaluating the vaccines may take three months, Spackman said.

You think eggs are expensive now, just wait until they kill off the rest of the chickens in the USA with another “vaccine”

Oh boy. Putting who-knows-what into chickens that will end up in us via eggs and meat.

You should be equally concerned about crispr and how they’ve altered your chicken (silencing genes, et al). Chicken’s are now disease resistant. grow faster and lay more eggs.

Should I invest in masks for chickens? I can just see the Drive-By Media pushing, like parrots, the ‘science’ of chicken masks.

I remember Rush joking about stuff like this, and then, years later, it comes true.

I bet the 8 mice used to test the latest Covid Death Booster are available to test the Chicken Vax.

Safe and Effective!!!

Because burning down the chicken farms isn’t fast enough.

Let me tell you what’s up.

The mRNA is being put into the chickens, which consuming eggs or meat will then pass the mRNA on to you.

Well, this is nothing new, we test all kinds of experimental vaccines on livestock. But if they fail, we can just cull all the infected livestock and life goes on. Can’t quite do that with humans.

Well, until genes figure out a way to survive the hydrochloric acid in my stomach, I’m not going to worry.

They are not, they’re just giving you the new food supply. Businesses don’t invest trillions in new vertical farming, indoor Ai farming, crispr et al to have nobody to sell it to. Good grief.
