Remember during the media hype of SARS that the un-vaccinated -- like us -- were "repositories" for the virus, and that ALL would have to be forced with jabs to assure something or the other, the number of "repository" wild birds far exceeds some chicken ranchers' flocks. So this was all a manipulation. To what aim?
Get farmers to use more drugs on their critters. Mandate them! "Take one for the team!" Et cetera.
Our neighbors raise chickens. Fresh eggs. None of us worry -- or even notice -- when one of them gets the sniffles.

“Since the bird flu outbreak began in 2022, over 100 million chickens have been culled ... leading to a shortage in egg supply and subsequently driving up prices.”
The cabal’s dream is to create famine.

I have one egg left.
This is a silly article.
We destroyed over 40 million birds in 2015 due to an avian influenza outbreak.
After that, Trump had four years to promote discontinuing the practice of culling during outbreaks, if it’s such a bad idea.
I didn’t check Walmart pricing, but their egg section was nearly empty.
“the practice of culling during outbreaks”
Due to the heavily Hispanic nature of the poultry industry work force and the frequent Hispanic cultural practice of having a few chickens at home, culling may no longer be an effective option.
Huge egg farms may no longer be feasible.
I will lay the food crisis squarely at the feet of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
People forget about the ripple effect of the backlog at the Los Angleses port that most famously resulted in the scarcity of baby formula for many months.
People are forgetting that the root cause of the increased food prices today is due to the Biden-Harris-Buttigieg administration's failure to manage the supply chain back in 2022.If you recall, the fallout from the botched supply chain backup resulted in rail companies declaring force majeure and canceling transport contracts for grains and feedstocks to farmers. This forced farmers to dump milk, and eventually slaughter their chickens and livestock because they couldn't feed them. The rail companies had to prioritize their rolling stock to help alleviate the backlogs at the west coast shipping ports and transport those goods across the country.
We're now seeing the prices of milk, cheese, eggs, ground beef, bacon, bread, and other farm products rise because it takes years to recover from the slaughter of herds of beef livestock, milking cows, pigs, chickens, and the loss of the resulting dairy and meat byproducts.

My friend Don grew up in DC and his family raised chickens.
When a rooster got too noisy and a policeman stopped by, the problem was solved by dinnertime.
When was their anything beyond clairvoyant, political rhetoric to say killing chickens would mitigate or solve the problem?
Culling does seem kinda dumb. Just let it run it’s course. Some will survive. Throw some roosters in and breed a stronger flock.
Famine? I think their dream is to cull conservatives.
Not much different than 1933 when FDR had cattle and hogs shot and buried to get the price up Up UP! And the meat was buried, not given to the starving poor in the 1930s.
In 2015 a bunch of stupid blue states hadn’t passed cage free egg laws yet.
The price increase is a caused by both the cage free laws and the bird flu.
I also think the current culling protocol is just making weaker chicken flocks and maybe they need to stop culling and start looking for survivors to use as breedstock for new laying flocks.
This was done on purpose., so they could use an issue EVERYONE, even the urban humanoids and the immigrants could understand: "Why duh eggs be so much money?"
If Kamala won, they wouldn't mention it. Only conservative "complainers" and "racists" looking to blame a bLACK woman for e'rrrythang would be whining. If Trump won the election somehow, they planned on this being the common man issue, I mean, common uh...
Culling to control diseases is as old as large scale poultry farming in the US:

Yep, that too. A perfect storm of stupid.
So very, very often about the Benjamins. Turns out Moderna -- remember them? -- and Zoetis want farmers to be required to jab their flocks. Ka-ching, that is what is hoped.
