The flue virus of 1918 was transmitted by passenger pigeons as one of the vectors.

That is why an international effort to exterminate them was mounted and successfully made carrier pigeons extinct.

Of course quarantine will fail when you have migratory avians spreading it. Not the case with Ebola. Why does this idiot not know that?

Nice theory except the last passenger pigeon died in 1914.
