    Did you even read the article?

    To understand how the bird flu got out of hand, KFF Health News interviewed nearly 70 government officials, farmers and farmworkers, and researchers with expertise in virology, pandemics, veterinary medicine, and more.

    Together with emails obtained from local health departments through public records requests, this investigation revealed key problems, including deference to the farm industry, eroded public health budgets, neglect for the safety of agriculture workers, and the sluggish pace of federal interventions.

    I have provided you with a plethora of experts who explain that this avian fku outbreak is directly linked to American officials dropping the ball, but those silly scientists and experts must have forgotten that viruses predate capitalism… what does that even mean?

      You’ve provided nothing that indicates this avian flu outbreak is directly linked to American officials directly dropping the ball, only that the situation within the United States is worse than it otherwise might be due to the factors identified in the article. This outbreak has been ongoing worldwide for four years and has hit other countries much harder than the US, such as China, Egypt, Thailand, and Indonesia. This has shit all to do with capitalism my dude
