It turns about that HPAI does not care who won the election.

The only duck farm on Long Island culled all 99K of its ducks because of HPAI

Cats have died.

The price and availability of eggs is about to become a joke.

We tried to warn you.

No one listened to us. Many of us wrote witty pieces on Substack and FB about it. Many of us wrote deeply researched articles for those of us who care about One Health. Cats literally dying from bird flu is not NEARLY as sexy as made up stories about immigrants eating dead cats in OH.

Many of us talk a LOT about zoonotic diseases. We talk a LOT about animal agriculture and diseases of economic importance. Just wait until African Swine Fever hits the ports and rips through NC swine barns.

For context...in Q4 2019 China culled more hogs than we raise in the states in a YEAR because of African Swine Fever. Most of us spent COVID covering TWO pandemics.

We are the nerds. The ones who sit in the front. The ones these people make fun of and think are betas and cucks and should go make them a sandwich (80% of vets are female).

So yeah...we did talk about it. No one cared.
