Reporting Highlights
- Deadly Outbreak: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic.
- Government Failures: State officials didn’t order the mink to be killed, which other countries with outbreaks have done. They are prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.
- Silent Risks: Despite CDC guidance urging officials to monitor workers, they actively chose not to and declined to test workers — including one with a symptom experts said would warrant testing.
They’re farming mink? For the fur?? Who is even buying it???
Are you kidding? You don’t know that women love it?
China buys all the mink fur in the world for clothes production. I’m not sure where the end consumers of the products are.
It’s the secret ingredient in Temu fabric. One mink can make a thousand shitty T-shirts.
Yeah… that pissed me off more than authorities refusing to order them to cull the infected animals (which they should have done on their own anyway, imho)
Very rich MAGAs.
