hospitals had a financial incentive to claim deaths as covid therefore statistics are irrelevant.

WRONG!!! Hospitals don't assign cause of death on death certificates. County and city medical examiners have that job.

you obviously have no real world experience

All it takes is simple arithmetic.

Are the Covid death numbers the result of mis-classification of other causes of death?

Here in the table are US death numbers for the top ten causes of death for six years ending in 2020. Notice how there are 20% more deaths in 2020 than the average of the previous five years? Doing the math, that's 500,000 excess deaths in 2020.

Notice how, in 2020, 345,000 of those 500,000 excess deaths are classified as Covid? Notice how almost all causes of death rose in 2020, including cancer & heart disease?

If there's any validity to the claim that lots of deaths have been mis-classified as Covid, why did almost all causes of death increase in 2020? Wouldn't mis-classification produce a reduction in those other causes? The evidence says mis-classification is a red herring.

nothing wrong with raw milk, I drink it too when I can get it; our parents/grandparents and all those before lived on raw milk, never bothered them. you know, back when people had working immune systems and all these milk, nut, etc. "allergies" were non existent...

the fact that the government feels compelled to outlaw something natural should be a red flag for anyone with half a brain...

egg prices will come down in a few months (takes about 6-8 months to raise hens to egg laying capacity); blame biden's dept. of agriculture for the shortage/prices, as usual, they weren't thinking ahead when they had 100 million chickens culled because of bird flu fear mongering (flu's come and go every year, get over it).

the lame brains need to come up with better stories and quit playing the blame trump game again, apparently they've already forgotten that's the reason they lost...

In this recent outbreak there have been 66 people infected with bird flu, 2 with a serious strain. Bird flu has been around for a while and there have been 2 outbreaks in humans, it had a 50% kill rate. In the right mutation is something to be very much afraid of. Most are not afraid because the people getting infected are farm workers who got it from animals not human to human and almost all the cases are of a milder variety. What they are afraid of is that someone gets the seasonal flu and the bird flu at the same time and there is a antigenic shift resulting in a variety that can go human to human, still it might be a mild or or one like had the 50% kill rate. They were working on a vaccine before the election and I hope they still are, should be nearing human trials about now.

So why hasn’t Trump developed a vaccine the past 24 days? Er . . . that might actually have been the responsibility of the Biden administration.

You are WAY WAY behind the times.

In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Audenz, an adjuvanted influenza A (H5N1) monovalent vaccine.

CSL Seqirus began developing the Audenz vaccine in 2006 as part of a partnership with BARDA.

Also,

U.S. conditionally approves vaccine to protect poultry from avian flu 14 Feb 2025

But that vaccine has a longer history

In 2016, USDA created a vaccine stockpile for use in commercial poultry, though the vaccines at that time were never deployed. Zoetis received a contract award for the 2016 stockpile.

So yeah, we already have H5N1 vaccines for both chickens and humans. All we're waiting for is approval from that arch anti-vaxxer who's in charge of HHS. Don't hold your breath!!

Big pharma probably can't or won't produce an economically viable bird flu vaccine. No one is likely to spend more than a couple dollars per chicken for it. I also don't believe the administration wants to prevent vaccinations but does want to prevent mandatory vaccination

Remember how you guys all blamed the post pandemic inflation on Biden? Same game, new targets.

DOGE seems to be winning some court battles. Musk/Trump are now on track to furlough/terminate federal 200,000 employees, at a budget savings of $200 billion annually.

Really? These employees cost $1 MILLION each?? Got any evidence to support this outlandish claim???

They were blaming biden economy on Trump for four years what do you expect it's what they're told to do

BohemianBabe · M

Because the prices, while high, were stagnating under Biden, but they're going up under Trump.

That’s how they work, and the limited information people, fall for it, every time
