vaccinated chickens hasn't had any health impact on Canadian's with it's own chickens vaccinated for a while now.

I don't think Canadian poultry (meat or egg) is actually vaccinated against avian influenza?

Here's the CBC talking why Canadian egg prices have been relatively stable so far (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/egg-prices-avian-flu-canada-u...). No mention of vaccines.

Government websites about poultry and HPIA state (...last updated in 2023 >.>) state that we're still doing "stamping out" as opposed to vaccines (though we do have a task force!) https://inspection.canada.ca/en/animal-health/terrestrial-an...

Do you think anti-vaxxers will believe that?

Never heard of shedding?

How do you know there’s been no health impact on Canadians?

Because of science. There is zero evidence that viruses like H5N1 survive through cooking. So if the vaccine is using a dead virus, there is almost zero chance it will have any affect on cooked food.

Also, Canada doesn’t allow this vaccine, so anyone claiming it’s caused a public health crisis there is peddling some highly refined bullshit. :-)

Says “Because of science” and fires off a single article from the government of Canada that has nothing to do with the issue of whether the vaccination itself causes problems in humans with consumption of animals vaccinated.

Apparently, we have a different idea what science is. I’d like to leave it at that. Any other takers?

"Nothing"? The link states that "is no evidence to suggest that the consumption of fully cooked poultry, beef, game meat, organs or eggs can transmit the influenza A(H5N1) virus to humans". The vaccine is made of a dead virus. Thus, heat kills virus, heat kills vaccine.

>> Apparently, we have a different idea what science is.

Arrogant dismissal.

There is more than just “dead” virus in the vaccine. Byproducts like formaldehyde, antibiotics, aluminum, salts, soaps, and other adjuvants are present.

Your simplistic and dismissive look at this issue is the one that’s arrogant. Hand-wavy comments such as yours deserve to be challenged.
