USDA's Bold Move Against Chicken Vaccines for Avian Flu
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 7 hours ago
USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins has recently made headlines after decisively stating that the use of vaccines for chickens to combat avian flu is “off the table.”
In an exclusive interview, Rollins explained that the decision comes after considerable research indicated that vaccines have proven largely ineffective in other countries, notably Mexico, where vaccinated chickens still contracted the avian flu at alarming rates.
This stance stands in stark contrast to the alarming trends affecting egg prices across the nation. With over 166 million birds culled due to the spread of avian flu, including a staggering 30 million egg layers this year alone, soaring egg prices have been a pressing concern for consumers.
Rollins emphasized that the situation calls for a different approach, focusing instead on research into therapeutics that could potentially provide better solutions than vaccines.
“The idea was that maybe we need to stick a couple hundred million chickens with vaccines so we could potentially move out of this crisis quicker,” she explained. “But the data shows that we need to consider alternatives.”
She categorically dismissed any notion of mandatory vaccinations for livestock, asserting that the research is not yet sufficient to support such a drastic measure.
"We need to ensure it will actually help the problem—not make the virus stronger and jump to other species," Rollins said, underlining her commitment to the long-term well-being of the agricultural community.
Rollins also pointed out that the high prices are not solely attributable to avian flu, citing the steep costs of production inputs and extensive regulations that burden farmers trying to keep pace with demand.
The USDA, under Secretary Rollins’ leadership, has aligned closely with the agricultural community to tackle these issues head-on, signaling a future that aims to bring more prosperity.
As Rollins articulated, “The president is with our ag community. While the next short term may be slightly unpredictable, for the long term, what the president has said is that our ag community will be more prosperous than perhaps it’s been in our entire lifetime.”
The dedication to avoiding hasty and ineffective solutions is a testament to the commitment of the current administration to prioritize the welfare of American farmers and consumers alike.
