We’re really within the the other way up. Donald Trump mentioned he would let crackpot Well being and Human Providers head Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild on well being,” and he isn’t letting Orange Mussolini down along with his bird-brained thought to deal with chicken flu within the nation.
Truthfully, we wished we have been making this up.
Talking on Fox Information, the white Dr. Sebi urged a ridiculous thought, with no pertinent information to again him up, that farmers “ought to take into account possibly the potential for letting it run by the flock in order that we will determine the birds, and protect the birds, which can be proof against it,” as a substitute of doing the precise factor and humanely killing the diseased birds to maintain the contagious virus from spreading.
Letting chicken flu unfold is exactly the sort of thought from somebody who’s method over their heads, and that’s exactly the case with the previous environmental lawyer who made a residing peddling junk medical theories.
The New York Occasions stories that even when Kennedy stupidly pushes this concept to farmers, they don’t must comply with it as a result of he has no jurisdiction over them.

But when H5N1 have been to be allowed to run by a flock of 5 million birds, “that’s actually 5 million probabilities for that virus to copy or to mutate,” Dr. Hansen mentioned.
Massive numbers of contaminated birds are more likely to transmit huge quantities of the virus, placing farm employees and different animals at nice danger.
“So now you’re setting your self up for dangerous issues to occur,” Dr. Hansen mentioned.
Hilariously, this isn’t the primary harmful thought Kennedy has floated relating to contagious viruses. He additionally urged that it was higher for folks to catch measles as a substitute of getting the extremely efficient vaccine that helped eradicate the virus in america, however he has since made a return as vaccination charges amongst Individuals proceed to drop.
