Keith Poulsenâs 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.
âExperts say they have lost faith in the governmentâs ability to contain the outbreak.â
Who should have been isolating sick cows from the rest of any given herd? Most of the yahoos with these sick herds welcomed the idea of their Holy Cheeto dismantling âthâ gubmint.â So whose fault is it again?
If it makes you feel better, the CAFOs are putting most of them out of business.
I wish this was an âAnimals as leadersâ reference, but it refers to âconcentrated animal feeding operationsââŚ
Which I learnt because of Animals as Leaders.
Luckily my wife and I never stopped masking because we went four years without being sick and it was about when stuff was being relaxed mask wise that we realized we had not gotten our usual yearly cold or flu. Was not sure how long we would make but we got to four years then caught something, not covid and if it was the flue then not to bad a cases but it was noticable enough that we knew our streak as ended.
Oh no! If only there was something we could have done!!!
RFK Jr. is going to be heading the Dept. of Health and Human ServicesâŚwhich establishes national vaccine rollout programs. Heâs 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. Weâve been dealing with it for years and thereâs a story of someoneâs falcon or hawk dying from it semi-often. If heâs part of a club heâll get HPAI reports even. I went to the national meet a few weeks ago and they separate birds that chase ducks and birds that donât (quarantine zones).
Although I guess itâs possible to know something exists and deny that it has a solution. So dumb.
Thereâs been multiple reports over the years about how America is vulnerable to disease in livestock and plants. So Iâm not really shocked.
