Fuck them vegans am i right?
Oh, fantastic. The pandemic-industrial complex is back on the menu. We’ve spent decades industrializing agriculture into viral petri dishes, then act shocked when nature mutates around our hubris. Cows are just the latest domino—watch the blame shift to “wet markets” or migratory birds while factory farms keep hosing antibiotics into troughs.
But sure, let’s hyperventilate about proximity to doom. Never mind that zoonotic spillover’s been a ticking clock since we decided monoculture and profit margins trump ecosystem logic. The real virus here? Capitalism with a side of amnesia.
Just in time for the hero to save the day with the ol' UV lung-bleach-brush combo move and horse dewormer aperitif.
On Trump's mind, as long as no one reports it then it doesn't really exist. Remember when he said that we need to do testing for COVID to make the numbers go down? Same thing.
Everyone I know who was anti-vax first started with the position that covid was fake. They all look at avian flu as just yet another "attack for pure inconvenience" without any giant profit motive.

another pandemic with trump in charge?.......Oh fuck.
Has he closed the CDC yet? Is that for next week?
Mark my words: there will be food shortages and food riots in America by April.
I'll bookmark this comment, not because I don't think it will happen but because I think April is a little too soon I'm giving it more like July August
Agreed at this point it’s honestly day to day with how things are changing for the worse. Be careful out there.
Agreed. Start stocking cans and shotgun shells.
Plenty of rich to eat.
True! Meats back on the menu fam!
Keep eating meat, wackos.
You don’t eat dairy cows.
a dary cow is usually productive for, at most, 5 years. what do you think happens to them after that?
Taco bell specifically buys old dairy cows
I'm not worried about a new pandemic. Trumpy Dumpy, Muskie, and Mr. Brain Worms will get us though it; plus or minus a few million dead people.
Bird flu in cows?
Cows aren't birds, are these scientists stupid?
I think your joke's not getting through to people :D
So this will just fix itself.
I'm almost done transitioning my family to drink oat mil..juice instead.
Don't worry, it'll be gone by easter.
This ain’t boring. It’s terrifying.
in a country that could start acting against this virus right now with RNA vaccine research has probably closed down all those facilities
Don't worry, Americans. JFK will protect you, won't he?
yes, he will. by advising people to drink raw milk...
That'll go down well, I'm sure of it.
