COVID appears to have spread widely among the 30 million deer roaming the US — with some passing mutated forms back to people, according to a government-led study calling it a “unique public health risk.”
Researchers, including several from federal agencies, say they found “at least 109 independent spillovers” of the virus spreading from people to deer, including in New York.
It then mutated while being spread among deer — with the unique strain found in at least three cases passed back to humans, according to findings published Tuesday in the journal Nature. “Deer regularly interact with humans and are commonly found in human environments — near our homes, pets, wastewater and trash,” said the paper’s author, zoonotic disease expert Xiu-Feng Wan.

They would have Grant Money though.
I once shot a deer in my pajamas. He was also wearing a mask

Here in NY....Our deer have to wear masks...except when feeding at the local saloon.
This means we must kill Bambi and his Mother.
Ted Nugent, please report to the white courtesy phone.
Well, they’ve never isolated the Covid virus so the tests are all questionable, to say the least. Who knows what the deer had/have? Maybe they just reclassified a deer illness for their deer pandemic purposes - how would we know?
They did it for the human pandemic; why wouldn’t they do it for the deer pandemic?
Do you believe anything they say anymore?
Uh oh. I wonder if they are going to try to justify ‘culling’ deer now.
lol anywhere but a chinese lab!
Makes sense. I never once saw a deer wearing a mask.....
/s
SURE!!!!!!
Nothing works for them anymore. Sadly, they still have the power to suppress information concerning the side effects.
Part of me would love to be in the room when they discuss their insanity, but it would be impossible not to say something.
This is an attempt to ruin deer hunting and prevent subsistence hunting altogether.
Nailed it.
Yet another reason to rid the woods of these tasty, er I mean dangerous, critters.
So are we doomed again?
These marxist jackasses smoke some really, really good dope.
I wonder if they get it for free? /s
Biden will be happy to oblige big pharma with another $trillion… for deer shots.
Yes, but there is a huge reserve of animals that cannot be treated... in addition to the morphing nature of viruses going back and forth.
