This is a false dichotomy. You can be resilient and also not price gouge. You can also do things in spite of accusations. Also blaming critics for misbehavior is classic DARVO.

When we're talking about a bird flu, "resilient" can mean having better hygiene practices. A lot of hygiene practices include improved infrastructure, more materials (e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE) like plastic covers over boots and disinfecting pans which you step in so you're not spreading bird poo on your boots).

When bird flu comes around, I keep it out. Which means I have same volume of eggs, and selling them at market prices... increased profit.

Then the mob comes around complaining that I'm price gouging.
