RFK Jr. Cautions Against Vaccinating Poultry Amid Bird Flu Concerns

[Social Media]

 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has raised concerns about vaccinating poultry, warning that it could worsen the ongoing avian flu outbreak that has severely impacted American farmers and driven egg prices to record highs.  

 

In a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Kennedy expressed his apprehension about using vaccines on chickens, arguing that if the vaccine does not provide complete immunity, it could accelerate the mutation of the virus and increase the likelihood of it spreading to humans.  

 

“All of my agencies advise against vaccination of birds, because if you vaccinate with a leaky vaccine, in other words a vaccine that does not provide sterilizing immunity, that does not absolutely protect against the disease, you turn those flocks into mutation factories,” Kennedy stated in the interview aired Tuesday. “It’s much more likely to jump to animals if you do that.”  

 

Kennedy cited warnings from major health institutions, stating, “The National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have all said we should not be vaccinating. It’s dangerous for human beings to vaccinate the birds.”  

 

His remarks come in response to a recent announcement by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who revealed that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will allocate $100 million toward vaccine research as part of a broader $1 billion initiative to combat the effects of bird flu.  

 

Rollins criticized the previous administration’s handling of the crisis, saying, “The Biden administration did little to address the repeated outbreaks and high egg prices that followed. By contrast, the Trump administration is taking the issue seriously.” She added, “American farmers need relief, and American consumers need affordable food. To every family struggling to buy eggs: We hear you, we’re fighting for you, and help is on the way.”  

 

Typically, when a poultry flock becomes infected with bird flu, farmers resort to culling the birds to prevent the spread of the disease. This practice has led to significant egg shortages and soaring prices, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting the average cost of a dozen eggs reaching a record $4.95 last month.  

 

Kennedy questioned this approach, advocating for alternative strategies. “Most of our scientists are against the culling operation,” he stated. “They think that we should be testing therapeutics on those flocks. They should isolate. You should let the disease go with them and identify the birds that survive, which are the birds that probably have a genetic inclination for immunity.” He further argued, “And those should be the birds that we breed, like the wild population.”  

 

Highlighting the consequences of mass culling, Kennedy pointed out, “We’ve killed 166 million chickens. That’s why we have an egg crisis.” He also reassured consumers that bird flu is not transmissible through eggs or food.  

 

Beyond the bird flu crisis, Kennedy also addressed the ongoing measles outbreak in Texas, where 223 cases have been confirmed since late January, resulting in 29 hospitalizations and the death of one child.  

 

Kennedy, who spoke with the child’s family, attributed the outbreak to both unvaccinated populations and the limitations of the measles vaccine itself. “We had 16 measles outbreaks last year, some years we have hundreds of outbreaks. We have measles outbreaks every year and, you know, part of that is that, there are people that don’t vaccinate, but also the vaccine itself wanes,” he said.  

 

He explained that while the measles vaccine is effective for some individuals, its effectiveness can diminish over time, particularly affecting the elderly. “It used to be when you and I were kids, everybody got measles and measles gave you a lifetime protection against measles – the vaccine doesn’t do that,” Kennedy remarked. “The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but in many people, it wanes.”  

 

Additionally, he raised concerns about the vaccine’s ability to provide maternal immunity. “It does not appear to provide maternal immunity,” Kennedy stated, suggesting that unvaccinated breastfeeding infants may not receive passive protection from their vaccinated mothers. “So you’re now seeing measles hit very, very young kids and hitting older people within whom the vaccine has waned,” he added. “And that is something that we need to worry about and that we’re looking at at HHS.”  

 

Despite his concerns about the vaccine's limitations, Kennedy emphasized that HHS is actively addressing the outbreak, supplying measles vaccines and vitamin A to affected areas in Texas. He also encouraged vaccination efforts, stating, “What we need to do is give [people] the best information and encourage them to vaccinate. The vaccine does stop the spread of the disease.”

TBH, I'm hugely disappointed in Kennedy. Offered so much hope, but so far is just tinkering round the edges.

 

Get to grips with the real problem of measles in Texas man. and it's nowt to do with a virus; as you well know.

Before MAGA starts milking buxom maidens I hope someone realizes AIDS and other viruses can be passed through mother's milk. 🍼

Indeed!!

Including toxins from medications.

Another MAGA moron anti-vaxxer. Kennedy is also promoting raw milk to build up antibodies, like Smallpox maybe? He is a reckless hazard to world health.
