A controversial proposal from U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to let bird flu naturally spread through poultry farms is raising alarms among scientists -- who say the move could be inhumane and dangerous.

That's not RFK Jr. talking. He died long ago. His body is being controlled by the worms.

I think the worms are the most intelligent part about the guy.

This was the worms' plan all along: finally revenge on the chickens.

Genius.

That’s just about got the whole zeitgeist sewn up.

So “do nothing” is his answer to bird flu and measles?

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 44 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Everyone who survives will be immune.

That's the whole logic. It was awful enough with Covid's 1% mortality. Measles only kills about 0.1%. Bird flu kills 90-100% of infected birds and 50% of infected humans. And there's plenty of lasting/permanent deficits short of literal death. They're psychopaths.

Oh cool, so this world ensure it spreads to humans. Would could go wrong?

Global Pandemic 2: Bird Flu Boogaloo

[–] 100@fedia.io 10 points 12 hours ago

hey theres a good chance certain very old people in leadership and in high risk group of falling over to it will catch it, so the problem would solve itself naturally?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 12 hours ago

Say 2% of the population get sick and 50% of that die, that's 4 million potential deaths.

But yeah right wingers, tell me again how socialism kills so many people...

That was the whole play with COVID. Not much changes in 5 years it seems.

I've contracted covid twice. Both were when visiting the US. And that was before this numpty was in charge. This will not go well.

Do you want another pandemic? Because that is how you get another pandemic.

I knew he was just a huge shill for the reptile egg shadow industry. Before you know it, all US omelets will be made from factory-farmed sea turtle eggs.
