    Holy fuck that’s grim. I didn’t pick up what you meant at first my bad but I get it now. You’re saying if this is their tactic for the birds, and “let 'er rip” is policy for covid for humans then it’s going to be somewhere between “many if not most folks have multiple nontraumatic brain injuries now and autoimmune conditions that are [as I understand it] equivalent to developing AIDS in much shorter time and more” and “we will forcibly cull the herd to protect the future of the project”.

      to be clear, I don’t like the argument that “culling chickens is best for the chickens, from an animal cruelty perspective”. I understand that culling chickens is best to not have chickens that survive or have no symptoms but still spread bird flu to other animals and humans. Be honest about “necessary” murders, is a pet peeve of mine.
