All they have to do is greenlight the vaccine made by Zoetis.

Thus far, 160 million chickens, turkeys, and geese have been euthanized.
There have been outbreaks in at least 972 dairy herds across 16 states.

In the past 30 days alone, bird flu has been confirmed in 134 commercial and backyard flocks in the U.S. as of Monday, affecting nearly 19 million birds, according to the USDA.

If this isn't an emergency situation, I don't know what one is.


In a most ironic fashion, you don't sound very informed. The FDA greenlighted the avian flu vaccine 12 days ago.

Perhaps looking into what constitutes a "high-risk area" would also be appropriate, infections don't develop and spread randomly.

High risk areas should be obvious.
The poultry farms.

And FWIW, the Netherlands and France have developed and tested a number of vaccines, with France rolling out a vaccination program for farm ducks in 2023.

France itself was declared bird flu-free in December 2024 thanks in large part to its vaccination program.
Meanwhile, here in the U.S. we're still stumbling and bumbling around under Trump and his USDA Secretary.

The "excuse" appears to be that the poultry farms don't want to vaccinate because the industrial meat companies that rely on export markets for their business model, don't want to lose those export markets ($6 Billion) given that most countries refuse to recognize vaccinated meat as bird flu-free.

Yes, it's a CONDITIONAL approval.

For all the reasons cited in my previous post, the question is now whether or not the poultry industry that relies on exports will use it, given that countries do not recognize vaccinated poultry as bird-flu free. There's more to this equation than just a simple vaccine "approval".

Congrats on your big WIN today!

Yup.
But the imports are a drop in the bucket (70-100 million eggs) compared to the 7.6 BILLION table eggs produced last month.
The USDA has already paid farmers roughly $1.2 Billion for the birds they had to slaughter.

You're reading comprehension continues to be poor.
Here, let me help you.

Here is the 5-point plan released today by the Secretary of the USDA:

The USDA will invest $1 billion in the new plan, which will be paid for, in part, by Department of Government Efficiency cuts. According to Secretary Rollins' Wall Street Journal op-ed:

  • USDA will spend $500 million to help enhance wildlife biosecurity measures to help keep the virus off farms. Rollins said USDA will expand a pilot program started under the Biden administration which sends USDA inspectors to assess biosecurity measures on farms.
  • The US government will spend $400 million to reimburse farmers with affected flocks. The US already compensates farmers for the loss of their chickens. In December, USDA added a requirement that poultry producers pass a biosecurity audit before they could be compensated.
  • USDA, which regulates vaccines for animals, is exploring the use of vaccines and therapeutics but it hasn't authorized use of any yet. Rollins said the agency would spend $100 million in research and development of new therapeutics.
  • The US will cut back on regulations on egg producers and "make it easier for families to raise backyard chickens."
  • The US government will consider temporary imports of eggs to reduce prices.

You appear to be confused again.
And conflating two different federal agencies.

I clearly never mentioned the FDA in my post above.
You did.

My post went to the USDA.
Not FDA.

There's a BIG DIFFERENCE.

I was asking what Trump and his USDA secretary Brooke Rollins were waiting for.
At the end of the day, it only matters what the USDA approves.
Not the FDA, which you referenced.

Per Secretary Rollins:

USDA, which regulates vaccines for animals, is exploring the use of vaccines and therapeutics but it hasn't authorized use of any yet.

I sincerely hope that this helps your understanding.

Let me be even more specific, it was a conditional LICENSE.

For some bizarre reason, you are unable to comprehend this.

Notice what the USDA Secretary Rollins said above in her Op-Ed today in the WSJ.
For some strange reason, you keep IGNORING that material statement by her.

The US exports a ton of eggs. Importing countries currently will not accept eggs from vaccinated chickens. Starting with the authorization of February 12, the USDA is doing what it can to get the chickens vaccinated.

Here, let me help you again.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins says that a vaccine is not proven.
She needs to see more data.

"We're just not ready. We don't have enough information.
And we need to fully understand how it will effect the food supply."

Rollins said USDA will push for a new generation of vaccines and therapeutics, though she has not yet authorized vaccination of poultry for avian influenza.

Okay, maybe not "CALIFORNIA" per se, but a CALIFORNIAN: to mess a little bit with my good friends on the fringe right, I hacked into the Government Egg Price website and have been steadily raising the price of eggs for a few weeks now!

Folks have asked me to send the price over $10/doz ASAP. I'm just waiting for the right moment... the moment when I want to see 100 million Americans lose their ****.

In one week of presidenting.
The price of a dozen eggs is up from 6.53 per dozen to 7.09 per dozen. Growth of 8.57 percent in one week.
At that rate eggs will cost $176,761,791.30 usd per dozen 4 years from now.
Thank you Trump!
MAGA baby!

True story: I was in Safeway this morning and a lady asked me if I knew where they keep the eggs now. I said, "Nice to finally meet you, Ms. Van Winkle!"

(okay, that very last part isn't true... i can never think of good one-liners until after the fact... or even lame one-liners)

I'm not panicking about eggs. Eggs are one food item that I've always paid extra for higher quality organic free range eggs. Those eggs have been available and I haven't been deprived. The price may be up a dollar or so for an 18 pack, but I use 2 for breakfast each morning, so that's about an 11 cent increase each day. I'm managing to maintain our standard of living despite that onerous financial burden.

Another moronic meme.

Bird flu can infect many bird species, including ducks, geese, quail, falcons, and even eagles.
Duh.

Bird species affected by H5Nx HPAI

Looks like a better way.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently went on 'Hannity' and stated the following:
Quote:
Most of our scientists are against the [H5N1 bird flu] culling operation. They think that we should be testing therapeutics on those flocks. They should isolate them. You should let the disease go through them and identify the birds that survive, which are the birds that probably have a genetic, genetic inclination for immunity.
And those should be the birds that we breed, like the wild population. Right. Right now, the White House strategy is to repopulate those farms that have been depopulated.
We've killed 166 million chickens. That's why we have an egg crisis.
