Vaccines are off the table in the fight against High-Path Avian Flu.
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins says instead, her USDA will focus on repopulation. Rollins tells Breitbart News that the Administration will prioritize the biosecurity portion of her five-point strategy. Vaccines were a pillar of her original plan, but Rollins says she has since spoken with industry leaders, and she now believes they are ineffective and have not worked well in places like Mexico.
President Trump has previously blamed high egg prices on bad policy from the Biden White House, and Rollins agrees. She says they knew about the problem for years but failed to address it.
