How can we have such a braindead populace
Multiple sources report that over 100 million poultry birds, including chickens, were affected by bird flu since the outbreak began in early 2022, during Biden’s term. The American Farm Bureau Federation, cited in a CNN article from January 28, 2025, states that 100 million birds were afflicted since 2022, with many culled to prevent further spread. This figure includes birds that died naturally from the virus and those depopulated under USDA directives.
A CBS News report from January 13, 2025, notes that more than 20 million egg-laying chickens died in the last quarter of 2024 alone, marking it as the worst period for egg supply losses since the outbreak started in 2022. This number includes both natural deaths and culls, though the exact breakdown isn’t specified.
USDA data, referenced in a PolitiFact article from January 29, 2025, indicates that 108 million egg-laying chickens died since 2022, with 13 million of those in 2025 (up to January 29). Again, this encompasses both birds that died from the virus and those culled, but no precise split is provided.
A broader figure comes from CBS News on February 2, 2025, stating that over 148 million birds (including chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese) have been euthanized since the H5N1 strain reached the U.S. in 2022. This is supported by USDA data cited in a Poynter article from February 3, 2025, which reports over 147 million birds affected since February 8, 2022. While not all were chickens, egg-laying hens (chickens) form a significant portion, with the 108 million figure specifically tied to them.
The culling was not a Biden-specific order but a continuation of USDA protocol, though the scale of the 2022–2025 outbreak was unprecedented, driving higher numbers during his term.
