This virus could threaten the US food supply

We need a vaccine, now. Bird Flu Could Devastate The U.S. Food Supply, Unless Lawmakers Fund a Vaccine      Sign Now      Indra,   In 2020, the world learned firsthand how devastating a rogue virus can be. Now, a different virus runs the risk of wreaking havoc on the U.S.'s food supply. In one month, two different cases of bird flu were detected in a dairy cattle herd. This number may seem small, but it is very alarming. Bird flu has historically been incredibly rare in livestock, and is instead usually found in poultry. The fact that it is spreading to dairy cattle is dangerous for the animals themselves and our entire food supply.   Sign the petition to tell the U.S. Department of Agriculture: fund a bird flu vaccine immediately, before it is too late!   At the time of writing, 1.25 million birds are currently impacted by bird flu in the United States, according to the USDA. When flocks are found to be positive for the virus, hundreds or thousands of birds are often culled to prevent it from spreading. And now, experts are increasingly worried about the risks posed to cattle, too. The United States is the richest country in the world. If the government wants to, it can simply adequately research and fund a vaccine. Sign the petition to join us in urging the USDA to step up and protect the nation's livestock and poultry!
