    So nearly all birds are immune to bird flu, but people aren't. And
    cows aren't. It infects milk and even cat food, which for some
    reason is now comprised of raw meat... and you not only believe all
    this but habitually post on the topic, and have been for quite
    some time. And this elevates you to the level of such authority that
    you may now dictate what is or is not "Stupid" regarding vaccines
    and anything else you might be spazzing in the direction of this
    very moment...

    Well. Put me down as "Skeptical."





    Over 600 bald eagles are known (by necropsy) to have died of avian flu.
    Dozens more nests unattended or abandoned in a study area in northern
    Michigan, home to one of the densest populations of eagles in the US.

    Anecdotally, the birding groups I read on Facebook were filled this
    migration season with reports of dead birds, often shorebirds, ducks, or seabirds, found along shorelines (probably because they're easiest to
    spot on the beach). Some beaches were closed by state game departments
    because there were so many dead birds.

    While egg prices were sky rocketing here "CUS BIRD FLU" they were under
    $2 a dozen in Mexico, well under for some brands. In Canada, there was
    a similar pattern where egg prices creeped up by a small margin but
    nowhere similar to here in the United States. How is it this Bird Flu
    knew where the borders were and why did it respect them?

    You're focused on the source of the "Bird Flu" panic for your oh so
    accurate information on bird flu. But that "information" was debunked
    long ago, and you just doubled down, seeking more of the same kind
    of INEXPLICABLE claims from the same sources.

    "Ah, science!"


    Do you recall what you had for lunch 18 years ago, but cannot recall if
    you brushed your teeth this morning?

    Here's what you wrote (and snipped):
    "Speaking of which, are you still losing all bladder control over
    a bird flu that ravages cattle but won't touch any birds, least

    My reply focused only on migratory birds, which you think biologists
    believe are immune to flu. No one thinks that. But to run from the
    rebuttal you talk only about chickens. Well. Takes one to know one, I
    guess. Had any good cat food lately?

    Which didn't carry this bird flu to central & south
    America. They seem to have boycotted Canada as well.

    How do you balance this with the raw meat being sold
    as cat food in this country, according to the collective
    here?


    You know, when you're so lazy you can't be bothered to look at the first
    papers Google lists, you just make yourself look really, really stupid.

    Mass die-offs of wild birds in Canada:

    Get off your lazy ass and look stuff up before you spout nonsense.
