Why? Because Trump sycophant Brooke Rollins is a thoroughly incompetent clown as Secretary of Agriculture

 

Headline:  STAT10, 1/14/2026

Ellen P. Carlin and Gwendolen Reyes-Illg opine:

Predictably, after a summer lull, 25 states have had cases in the last month. Our analysis of data from the Department of Agriculture reveals that we’ve gained almost no ground since the beginning of the outbreak in 2022. January 2025 was the worst month on record. In fact, 2025 was a worse year overall than 2024, which was worse than 2023. The egg industry has taken the brunt, representing 75% of lost animals. Turkeys account for about 11%, meat chickens, 8%. 

And yet, the solution is on agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins’ desk: Vaccinate the animals.  [emphasis added]
