Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

    That we have vaccines and don’t use them is absurd. I get the export complications, but we could literally not be facing this outbreak.

    I was covering an outbreak back in 2002. Not 2022, 2002. This is not new.

      I wish we could buy bags of bird food with bird flu vaccine in it, or something. I’d buy that.
