Fascinating article. I like how they manage to simultaneously criticize the biden admin for: doing nothing and looking the other way, taking measures that aren’t going far enough and for monitoring interstate livestock transfers, imposing restrictions on sale, mandating culling and advising PPE and testing (like they’re… bad things?). It even cites CDC data on infection rates and then goes on to claim the CDC is sweeping this exact information under the rug.
The Biden admin’s response was reasonable if unexciting, and was predictably opposed at every step by individual farmers and states alike. I’m honestly shocked there’s only been 61 cases so far, what with the right’s general attitude of “I will lick this dying chicken just cuz biden said I shouldnt”.
Fucking hell that article is so openly biased it’s tripping over its own feet in it’s fervor to assign blame to Biden. Look, go check again and see how it uses citations. Tons of them to establish uncontested facts, almost none that support their conclusion. This feels a lot like the ground game to allow trump to blame lefties and Biden for the pandemic all while he’s actively dismantling all our safeguards against it.
Don’t believe me? Here:
Over the last four years, we’ve watched as disease minimizers took the reins of public health, prioritizing corporate profits and day-to-day business activities over human lives.
Yeah, IDK, that description sure as fuck doesn’t seem to describe Drs. Cohen and Walensky or Sec. Vilsac (even though he is a craven pos in many other ways, he sure as fuck isn’t a “disease minimizer”), bidens appointees. So I’m left to wonder… who are they actually talking about? Where are these people biden had been letting sneak in to positions of agricultural or public health power? Because I’m pretty well versed in the subject matter and man, I actually cannot figure out where the fuck they’re getting this from.

Something something you are one of them!
Man I wish, do you know how much better off the world would be if data wonks could get appointed to the Illiuminated Council??
Yeah, but we are mere mortals not enlightend Lizard-Man.
A friend of mine worked on statistics for COVID. Things like infection rate, mortality etc.
And I’m pretty sure he is going to commit a hate Crime if he is ever going to meet a Anti-Vaxer.
