You’re assuming any significant number of birds HAVE immunity (unlikely), that recovered birds recover in any salable way (dubious), that the long-term-sick birds don’t infect humans (improbable), AND that the virus doesn’t mutate (impossible). 🧪

RFK Jr.’s Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

McConnell arguably saved Trump's butt by not voting to convict Trump in his second impeachment and pushing a bogus argument against a guilty vote. This is how Trump pays him back. All other Republicans should take note. Your cult leader will eat your face in a moment's notice.
SHOT: Mitch McConnell votes against RFK Jr. to be HHS Secretary.
CHASER: Trump expresses doubt that McConnell ever had polio and then questions McConnell's mental faculties.
"He's not equipped mentally. He wasn't equipped. 10 years ago, mentally, in my opinion."

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

I think his behavior is bad because it injects uncertainty and fear into the intl system. That’s bad in general but especially weird for the incumbent great power to do. But I think China will invade Taiwan or not based on much harder calculations. But it’s still bad.
