The outbreak of bird flu that has been ravaging farms nationwide had started to slow over the past few weeks — but as wild birds migrate north, scientists say the virus may follow.
At the same time, the United States will have fewer people leading the national effort to stop avian influenza.
The sweeping cuts this week to the federal Department of Health and Human Services include the Food and Drug Administration’s chief medical officer, who was helping to lead the federal government’s bird flu response, and senior staff from the FDA’s
Center for Veterinary Medicine, which linked bird flu cases to raw pet food, leading to several recalls.
“We no longer are going to have the same eyes on this virus,” said Dr. Meghan Davis, a former dairy veterinarian and associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She said active surveillance of and investigation into
how the virus spreads are a necessity, but local health officials and veterinarians will no longer have the same support from the federal government.
Deer stupid American public, neither you, nor any government official can stop the spread of bird flu.
This is a bullshit story and NBC should be ashamed of themselves.
