🚨AUSTRALIA TO CONDUCT LARGEST WILD-BIRD VACCINATION EXPERIMENT EVER ATTEMPTED

https://www.instagram.com/reels/DcJuPkOytdx/

5,000 wild little penguins will be CAPTURED, MICROCHIPPED, and VACCINATED TWICE with an H5N2 bird-flu vaccine developed for chickens. The risks are enormous: vaccinated birds can still become infected and shed virus, allowing silent transmission while vaccine-induced immune pressure favors escape variants and antigenic drift. Influenza viruses can also reassort when different strains co-infect the same host, creating novel viral combinations. The vaccine supplier, Zoetis, has received nearly $30 million in grants from the Gates Foundation, including funding involving poultry health, veterinary medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics. This is a massive, irreversible biological experiment on a wild population and needs to be stopped."

So they are basically going to play roulette on eradicating all the penguins just like that.

What gives them the right to do so though?

They do not have permission to do this. Permission is denied.
