If people knew how often bird flu popped up they would be shocked


Yes and no. It's been super common in birds for a while, but it is becoming more common in mammals, which is a thing to watch.

maybe this is why he's the ex-FDA food chief instead of the current one.

the FDA makes no mention of steak and says eggs are safe as well

quote:
It is safe to eat eggs during the bird flu outbreak.

“There is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted to humans through properly prepared food,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says.


The whole thing is a nothingburger, but what that guy said is the same thing you think contradicts him. He didn’t say steak or eggs were dangerous; he said rare steaks and runny eggs could contain Bird Flu. And that’s what the FDA meant when they referred to “properly prepared” food.

What is a chicken factory? The processing plant?

Each flock is tested for AI on the farm before it goes to processing so sick or infected birds do not make it to the processing plant.

Maybe there is a small chance if you buy chicken from a small backyard operation or farmers market which sells product that is not USDA inspected.

rare steak is properly prepared so that doesn't make sense.

FDA didn't mention steaks at all

Last week, health officials in Texas confirmed that a dairy farmer caught the virus, making him only the second-ever American to contract the disease.



Only two Americans ever? And if we are applying the law of averages, he was probably misdiagnosed.

I have a better chance of getting sick from the mouse I used to click on that article.




About as dumb as recalling tens of millions of cars for "defective" airbags because 16 people worldwide had been killed by them...
supposedly.

That tells me the FDA doesn’t know anything about food that actually tastes worth a shite. Anyone that paid attention over the last 4 years wouldn’t trust anything coming out of Washington, and rightfully so. I’m pretty sure we have a Man pretending to be a Woman close to the top at HHS. Why would anyone take our government seriously when someone that’s clearly mentally ill has any say over anything to do with Health?
