@Infoseepage It will follow the fate of Californian cows: 100% of infection rate. Since the USDA ''stockpile poultry vaccines'' but does not intend to use them... The Kingdom of Folly.
@Infoseepage Short life span chickens, very weak immune system (due to use of growth accelerating additives), high density: the perfect organism to propagate H5N1 or other hpaiv. These animals are so weak the even a little amount of virus is enough to kill them all, due to their extreme genetic homogenity. Obstinate vaccines refusal is proving deadly...
@Infoseepage The massive poultry operations are a huge viral reservoir: only for this reason the vaccination should be implemented, with all other measures (surveillance, testing, biosecurity). Taken alone, these measures are not sufficient to protect the industry and the human health. Remind that H7N9 was on the brink of pandemic when a combined H5/H7 vaccine was deployed with 90% reduction in spillover events. Bangladesh has also a good record on this field. The US exceptionalism harms.
