And the answer from RFK Jr. and his friends is "Let it rip" not thinking that doing so will allow for millions of viral mutations and thus decreasing the time until human to human transmission is found...

Dumbasses.

Particularly if you live due north from a septic oozing plague pit masquerading as a democracy.

Reason #3261 Canadians don’t want to be the 51st state.

srodky721.bsky.social•8 days ago

A republican senator in a town hall actually said he for one does not want to acquire Canada. It would be like adding another California, too many liberals, and republicans would never be in power again 😂 are you sure you don’t wanna take one for the team ?!? 🙏🏻💙

srodky721.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah.. I don’t blame you,

oldhope.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh, sure, and Kennedy thinks we should speed up the spread so the weakest birds are culled...we are in so deep...

allhailnorthjersey.bsky.social•8 days ago

US is cooked

mickey-buntzestes.bsky.social•7 days ago

"Other mammals" ??

xenotar.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you very much USA for trying so hard to turn a bird flu into a completely uncontrolled bird and mammal epidemic.

silkflame.bsky.social•8 days ago

Mask up, people. Between this, TB, and measles we're in for some shit.

With the Insane Clown Posse in charge in the US we aren’t going to be prepared. Science deniers don’t trust science. Ignorance kills. It will kill again. Just hope it’s not most of the population.

greenearthling.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is because we treat poultry like shyt. #EvilHumanity
Found Buff Orpington chicks in February. Haven't been seeing many chicks available for backyard flocks. My babies are getting so big!

twj75.bsky.social•7 days ago

And RFK Jr. wants the bird flu to spread without interference to see which birds are immune. We're doomed!

ducktastic2015.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think it’s time for the mango King to tour some chicken farms.

iamnursetrish.bsky.social•8 days ago

If I were you, I would be stocking up on food and I would be stocking up on N95 masks not surgical masks… N95 masks. When bird flu comes it’s going to be tragic for this country.

minibubbly.bsky.social•8 days ago

I have over 200 N95 masks, been buying them everywhere I can lol all stocked up

jawa123.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh man, I only have a box of 20. Gonna have to stock up especially living in Ontario.

mista-blue-sky.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump's health guy has some abysmal solutions to the crisis.

Golly gee, RepubliCrooks from top to bottom are DUMB!

confusedpenguin.bsky.social•7 days ago

In other words Canada and Mexico should get ready to close borders.

ingrid3220.bsky.social•7 days ago

It already has been spread over 100 cowfarms in the US , so I guess vacinnes are needed very quickly. In the Netherlands the first trial is started on a few chickenfarms.

But you've got the JFK and Trump hero he and all his wisdom will safe all... Idiots!

ingrid3220.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oh.. autocorrect refuses RFK also... my apologies to J.

satiricalplanet.bsky.social•7 days ago

Pandemics don’t just appear out of nowhere. They emerge from a confluence of factors, environmental disruption, human behaviour, industrial food production, and, of course, the occasional unlucky mutation.

None of which will happen in the US. That’s terrifying close to Nova Scotia!

Also, the Celtics just sold for $6.1B, so… everything’s fine.

trishly.bsky.social•7 days ago

that clock has already started with the elimination of all those govt services.

cmlondon13.bsky.social•7 days ago

Don’t worry, it’ll just be undesirables that’ll die. Trump and his cronies figured out a Final Solution that doesn’t require any of those pesky camps. Just cut off government aid, use the FBI to shut down any nonprofit that tries to pick up the slack, and wait for the problem people to starve.

krink5.bsky.social•7 days ago

So the actual experts don’t believe our completely unqualified HHS Secretary’s theory of ‘just let it spread’ i mean he is super smart from what I have been told

ranting-old-ukie.bsky.social•8 days ago

We in the U.S. don’t need to worry. We have 47 and RFK Jr. looking out for us. Stable Genius and Wormbrain will surely protect us - by denying its existence and banning mention of bird flu in any government communication. “It’s just a cold, you’re not dying, you’re just gaining ‘herd immunity’.”
😱🤬🤪

littletomcat.bsky.social•8 days ago

And when it happens, Gummints will be all "Nobody warned us!"

bluecow11.bsky.social•8 days ago

Don’t look to US for leadership that lunatic wants to spread it…

denewjohn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sounds like a lot more refrigerated trucks will be needed

ellem111.bsky.social•8 days ago

Like COVID bird flu will be allowed to spread uncontained here in the US.

hr1966.bsky.social•8 days ago

Some days it’s hard to even get out of bed. So much chaos and doom. Still, glad to be in Canada and not the US. At least I know we’ll handle a crisis like this in a sane and responsible manner.

arrokudatime.bsky.social•8 days ago

you're so lucky 🥲

ladydkw.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hey RFK what is the next magic cure ? Can we get someone with agricultural sense to handle this please

bellaviccri.bsky.social•8 days ago

Blame Trump, Musk and RFK jr the charlatan

U.S.A.'s response? Gut funding for NIH and CDC. Way to lead America! Morons are in charge.

brit2can.bsky.social•8 days ago

If I believed in God's, I would think they sent us Covid to teach us a lesson about animal husbandry, and when we failed to get the lesson, they sent us bird flu. The human race has some smart people but the rest are dumb and greedy.

trishly.bsky.social•7 days ago

And the dumb make it really difficult!

rob787.bsky.social•7 days ago

And they’re the loudest. 🤬

oliviamlondon.bsky.social•7 days ago

Time to go #vegan and stop intensive factory farming of chickens for meat and eggs. Seriously is it worth the risk of another zoonotic pandemic?

be4good.bsky.social•8 days ago

What will US-a do in this administration? NOTHING! He will
Let the food supply and humans suffer needlessly! He has no clue and neither does his health appointments!

minibubbly.bsky.social•8 days ago

True

darbyz.bsky.social•8 days ago

Quit farming these birds in horrific conditions that guarantee disease transmission.

oldhope.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup

jawa123.bsky.social•8 days ago

💯🎯

bwarn.bsky.social•8 days ago

The USA is ground zero right now and RFK is suggesting chicken parties to weed out the weak flock members. This is the reason why buying Canadians is not just about tariffs. We have more robust rules leading to healthier animals.

inmatexiii.bsky.social•8 days ago

I, for one, will NOT be offended if you guys close down the border and lock pur stupid asses in once it starts spreading to humans en mass.

If we have to be trapped in this sithole woth fascist rednecks, they need to be trapped in here with the virus they helped unleash.

witcan74.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh for fuck sakes

rhondareger.bsky.social•7 days ago

We are in so much trouble.

deslanderhxaxmxaxs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Factory farming is cruel and unjust, and the people shouldn't have to subsidize it. The way these farms treat birds is horrific, a major contrast to thier pretty ads. Labels lie, and hide context. Perdue and Deistel are examples of cruelty and fraudulent marketing.

mournalisa.bsky.social•8 days ago

And piss-soaked man wants to force sell us their dairy.

Guess how popular they'll be?

trishly.bsky.social•7 days ago

According to scientists Canada will see an increase in bird flu as birds migrate back to Canada this spring.

southernkathleen.bsky.social•8 days ago

BTW, that means eggs are going to be scarce GLOBALLY.

hudsonnash.bsky.social•7 days ago

Harbinger of things to come

pmmbscs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well the US won’t be doing that!!’

jamcarol.bsky.social•7 days ago

And in US, let it run its course says #HHS Director. Don't cull the birds, there might be some who are immune.

queeva.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just go #vegan

brelknight.bsky.social•7 days ago

My poor relatives :(

heathermn1.bsky.social•8 days ago

The government wants us sick, poor, and uneducated. This is the sick - along with measles.

winniegirl.bsky.social•8 days ago

If Kennedy has his way, and just lets it spread, Canada needs to shut down the borders. This could be very bad.

rockmn.bsky.social•8 days ago

Meanwhile, America shrugs waiting for the Grim Reaper who has a buddy named Kennedy.

The trump administration will, of course, fire all the scientists and doctors who could trace and prepare for such events! He already did it once!🤢🤮

There is a small outbreak of H5N1 in Shelburne. FYI
