RFK Jr. says that vaccinating birds against avian flu will create ‘mutations factories’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He approached worsening Aviar flu The crisis, saying that vaccination birds make them “mutations factories.” Instead, it recommends letting birds that survive the virus continue to reproduce.

Kennedy, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services of the United Statesspoke with Fox News Host Sean Hannity March 11, saying “Aviar flu It will never be eradicated “since the virus is” endemic in wild bird populations “that extended it to domestic flocks.

He continued to say: “All my agencies have advised against bird vaccination. Because if they are vaccinated with a vaccine with leaks, in other words, a vaccine that does not provide sterilizing immunity, which does not absolutely protect against the disease, converts those flocks into mutations factories. They are teaching the organism how to mutate … it is much more likely to jump to animals, if you do. All my agency bosses of (National Health Institute) NIH, (Disease Control Centers) CDC and FDA (Food and Medication Administration) have said we should not vaccinate. It is dangerous for human beings to vaccinate birds. ”

As a 2020 study in the magazine PLOS BIOLOGY He explained: “Many livestock and human vaccines are leaks because they block symptoms but do not prevent infection or transmission forward.”

The United States currently does not vaccinate birds against avian flu. According to the chickens, two vaccines are approved to prevent avian flu in the chickens European Medicines Agency. However, the Ema advises it During an outbreak: “The preventive vaccination of the most susceptible species in high -risk transmission areas was the best option to minimize the number and duration of shoots.”

In the United States, farmers are currently sacrificing infected animals as a way of mitigating the propagation of the flu. “The question is, should you sacrifice those flocks?” Kennedy asked. “They must isolate them. It must let the disease go through and identify the survival birds, which are the birds that probably have a genetic inclination for immunity, and those should be the birds that we create. ”

Then he advised “intensely testing (ing) of therapeutic drugs in those flocks” to help develop “a medication that is potentially useful in humans to treat avian flu. That is what we should be doing.”

“We have killed 166 million chickens,” Kennedy said. “That’s why we have a Egg crisis. ”
