egg prices are up because of the bird flu and chickens being euthanized, not because of orange man.

And the best way to decrease egg prices is to end bird flu, which you can't do by hiding all of the health reports and banning testing, like the orange man wants.

Do you have a source for that claim? It seems out of character for someone that appointed a person so dedicated to food health and safety as Secretary of HHS. BTW, I heard RFK Jr. was confirmed by the Senate today. I suspect he'll be sworn in before the end of the week, after that we could see a change on what the "bad orange man bad" wants. RFK Jr. was picked for a reason, he and Trump get along on "making America healthy again". I know Trump and RFK Jr. don't agree on energy but there's a new Secreta

Vaccines traditionally give a weakened or disabled pathogen [...].
That's a single type of vaccines, a subtype of active immunization. mRNA vaccination is also active immunization, but in this case, you instruct the cells to first build the "weakened or disabled pathogen" before generating anti-bodies against it. And if the spike proteins are cancerous, then so is the original virus carrying exactly the same spike proteins. Your cells are producing exactly the same mRNA from an actual virus infection and then creating exactly the same anti-bodies to kill it off - but you g

mRNA vaccination is also active immunization, but in this case, you instruct the cells to first build a big bunch of exact replicas of a common part of the pathogen so as to get the immune system to learn to generate anti-bodies against it.
Nitpicking, but anyway, fixed that for you. Otherwise, great post, and keep educating the bystanders. The commenter you reacted to will not likely gain insight...

As someone who is not against all vaccines as a general principle but reads or listens to all the evidence and makes an informed decision, your blanket labeling of anyone who doesn't want a medicine as being "anti vax" is harmful and misleading.
RFK wants us to believe he is not generally an anti-vaxxer, so he speakstomixed crowds about how "some" vaccines should be banned. But his actual actions and what he says to anti-vaxxer crowds are different.

The Trump administration has intervened in the release of important studies on the bird flu, as an outbreak escalates across the United States.
One of the studies would reveal whether veterinarians who treat cattle have been unknowingly infected by the bird flu virus. Another report documents cases in which people carrying the virus might have infected their pet cats.
The studies were slated to appear in the official journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The distinguished journal has been published without interruption since 1952.
Its scientific reports have been swept up in an “immediate pause” on communications by federal health agencies ordered by Dorothy Fink, the acting secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Fink’s memo covers “any document intended for publication,” she wrote, “until it has been reviewed and approved by a presidential appointee.” It was sent on President Donald Trump’s first full day in office.
That’s concerning, former CDC officials said, because a firewall has long existed between the agency’s scientific reports and political appointees.
“MMWR is the voice of science,” said Tom Frieden, a former CDC director and the CEO of the nonprofit organization Resolve to Save Lives.
“This idea that science cannot continue until there’s a political lens over it is unprecedented,” said Anne Schuchat, a former principal deputy director at the CDC. “I hope it’s going to be very short-lived, but if it’s not short-lived, it’s censorship.”
White House officials meddled with scientific studies on covid-19 during the first Trump administration, according to interviews and emails collected in a 2022 report from congressional investigators. Still, the MMWR came out as scheduled.
“What’s happening now is quite different than what we experienced in covid, because there wasn’t a stop in the MMWR and other scientific manuscripts,” Schuchat said.
Neither the White House nor HHS officials responded to requests for comment. ...

As usual, you heard wrong. He was voted out of committee for a full vote before the Senate.
As for "make America healthy again", considering the fat orange man made fun of Michelle Obama for backing a program to have kids eat more healthy foods, and subsequently neutered the program, I don't think "make America healthy again" means what you think it means.

B-b-but the orange man blamed it on Biden and said he would fix it day one, and you idiots ate it up. Are you saying he was lying? Funny how it's only now that you pretend to understand nuance. Anyway it's obviously because the chickens are DEI hires. If we just stopped testing them it wouldn't be a problem.

Other countries have started to vaccinate free range ducks and chickens against bird flu. With success. But the the US, no, too expensive !

He slashed regulations that would have reduced the spread of the disease those chickens were slaughtered for. Biden didn't even try and put the regulations back because Trump and pretty well packed the courts and he expected he was going to lose there so he didn't want to spend a limited supply of political capital fighting for it. Instead he focused on other things to fight inflation like antitrust law enforcement and increasing supply elsewhere in the economy.
Regulations are written in blood. You can't just start slashing them and then pack the courts full of pro-corporate sycophants and not have consequences. But those consequences take a while to hit and since the media is controlled by billionaires it's easy to shift to blame around and confuse the issue

Let's hear from a real source (Rutgers Law School professor David Noll):
People often use "court packing" to describe changes to the size of the Supreme Court, but it's better understood as any effort to manipulate the Court's membership for partisan ends. A political party that's engaged in court packing will usually violate norms that govern who is appointed (e.g., only appoint jurists who respect precedent) and how the appointment process works (e.g., no appointments during a presidential election).
So turns out that you were wrong, how odd...

But if you're going to comment on our politics could you pick a better source.
So the Republican party ignored all common norms and flat out lied to steal two supreme Court seats. These are seats that should have been nominated under Barack Obama.
But more importantly they have used gerrymandering and voter suppression to seize control of Congress so that they could block judicial nominees while Democrats were in power. See here in America our judges are nominated for lifetime appointments by the presi

That is partially true. You forgot the part about how the GOP forced any judicial nominations out of Obama's tenure and into Trump's tenure because the Speaker of the House refused to allow those hearings to occur. The hijacking of the government was well in hand by then but yeah we can blame it on the big egos everyone has as well to be sure (not disagreeing with you).

Republicans stole two seats from Obama. It's not Trump, but the GOP, that is responsible for packing the court.

If he had the political capital to kill the filibuster he would have had the political capital to protect our elections and Trump wouldn't have become president because the 7 million people Republicans stopped from voting would have voted Trump right on out

Nah, according to Trump it's his own fault. According to him it was Biden's fault they went up, then it must be Trump's fault they went up further.

The notion x was president therefore everything good or bad that happens is because of the president is obviously absurd. Most of what happens has little to nothing to do with whoever is in office.
Having said that this is Trumps metric. He was prolific in hanging this kind of shit on others so I see no reason why egg prices or anything else that goes sideways should not be hung on him.
In the case of eggs there is even a coherent argument for blaming Trump. Dozens of countries are currently vaccinating th
