I enjoy Kevin ‘Sid‘ Hassett very much. He was awesome in Trump’s first term as an economic advisor, and he’s even better in term two as the Director of the National Economic Council (NEC).
When the people who controlled Joe Biden lost the 2024 election, they were angry. They wanted to leave President Trump with as big a mess as possible and all actions were taken to create chaos that Trump would have to deal with. Intellectually honest people noticed.
Part of their chaos operation was to drive up the cost of food, intentionally create inflation that Trump would have to handle. The “bird flu” issue was part of the plan. After the 2020 election the U.S. Dept of Agriculture ordered millions of chickens to be killed. Simple quarantine process was dismissed in favor of a ridiculous slaughter.
During a CBS interview today, Margaret Brennan asked Kevin Hassett what the Trump administration was going to do about food inflation, and specifically the astronomical cost of eggs. Hassett outlined the plan by first reminding Brennan that regarding spread, chickens don’t fly; ducks and geese do. I almost spit out my coffee. I enjoy Kevin Hassett. Video and Transcript Below:
“Sid“
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We want to turn now to the economy and inflation, which, compared to last January, ticked up about 3% last week. Kevin Hassett is the director of the National Economic Council, and he joins us now. Good morning to you, Director.
KEVIN HASSETT, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL: Good morning, Margaret, good morning.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, I don’t have to tell you, but the rest of the country saw their egg prices at the grocery store go up. We’re now at a record high due to that bird flu outbreak, but also labor costs, and that’s contributing to food costs overall. When will the administration get that outbreak under control?
HASSETT: Right, well, what’s going on, right, as you know, is that there is an inflation problem that’s very large. We saw the consumer price index come out, and we found out that the stagflation that was created by the policies of President Biden was way worse than we thought. Over the last three months, across all goods, including eggs, the average inflation rate was 4.6%, way above target, and an acceleration at the end of the Biden term. And, you know, this is really not just us. You could go look at Jason Furman, Larry Summers, economic advisers of President Biden kept saying, don’t do this. You’re going to cause massive inflation. In fact, Jason Furman has a very thought provoking peace in “Foreign Affairs” right now, calling the Biden economic record a tragedy. And this is them, not us, right? It’s- so, now we’ve got a lot of things that we’re doing to get ahold of it–
MARGARET BRENNAN: You’re talking about fiscal spending there.
HASSETT: Excuse me? Yeah, that’s right.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You were talking about fiscal spending there. But–
HASSETT: Well, where does inflation come from, right? And so what we’re doing now is, we’ve- we’ve got, really, a multi- multi-faceted plan to end inflation, and I’ll go quickly, because I want to end with what we’re doing with egg prices, but we’re going to have a macroeconomic change that has supply side tax cuts so we have more supply, and we’re going to reduce government spending, both through what DOGE is doing, and through congressional action. And so therefore, the macroeconomic forces that Jason Furman said were a tragedy are going to be reversed. That’s a good thing. Then we’re also going to have a lot of energy production, a lot of deregulation. And then finally, when needed, we’re going to focus on the individual thing-by-thing pieces. And so, for example, you mentioned avian flu. President Biden didn’t really have a plan for avian flu. Well, Brooke Rollins and I have been working with all the best people in government, including academics around the country and around the world, to have a plan ready for the president next week on what we’re going to do with avian flu. In fact, I was editing the thing with them tomorrow, but- but the final thing- and then I’ll give it back to you, I promise not to filibuster- that, the question is like, why did we do this? Why did we do this? That’s what everybody’s talking about. But the thing that I always start with when I’m looking at what we’re doing, what the President wants us to do, is, why did they do that? Why did they do that? And- and there are too many times where it feels like nobody thought about that in the press, or maybe–
MARGARET BRENNAN: Oh, gosh–
HASSET: –the left wing “Economist,” why did they do that? Why did Biden print so much money and cause so much inflation? Why did he do it?
MARGARET BRENNAN: Oh, Kevin–
HASSETT: That’s- that’s what I’m thinking about.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Kevin, you know, we talked about that on “Face the Nation” quite a lot. Quite a lot.
HASSETT: I don’t mean to criticize you. Okay, good for you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: No, no, no. So next week, we’ll see the plan on how to get avian flu- how to get bird flu, under–
HASSETT: I could talk about it right now if you’d like to, yes.
MARGARET BRENNAN: –well, sure, what- what is the plan you’re going to- what are you going to do?
HASSETT: Yeah, so- so again, the- the Biden plan was to just, you know, kill chickens, and they spent billions of dollars just randomly killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken. And so you go- I just went to the grocery store. I shop for our family, in part because I love to look at prices. And there were no eggs at the store yesterday, just a few. And- and so that happened because they killed all the chickens. And so what we need to do is have better ways, with biosecurity and medication and so on, to make sure that the perimeter doesn’t have to kill the chickens. Have a better, smarter perimeter. And so having a smart perimeter is what we’re working on, and we’re finalizing the ideas about how to do that with the best scientists in government. And that’s the kind of thing that should have happened a year ago, and if it had, then egg prices would be, you know, a lot better than they are now. But the avian flu is a real thing–
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
HASSETT: –and by the way, it’s spread mostly by ducks and geese. And so- think about it, they’re killing chickens to stop the spread, but chickens don’t really fly. The- the spread is happening from the geese and the ducks. And so, why does it make any sense to have a big perimeter of dead chickens, when it’s the- the ducks and the geese that are spreading it?
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, the Department of Agriculture policy has been to kill those chickens, as you know, but we’ll watch the details of that.😂 But let’s get back to something the president said. Higher interest rates, as you know, are part of that battle against inflation that the Federal Reserve has been waging, but this past week, the President called for interest rates to be lowered. Why does he think that’s going to lower your grocery prices?
KEVIN HASSETT: Well, first of all, I- I want to say that- I, just this weekend, have arranged to begin, once again, regular lunches with Jay Powell at the Federal Reserve. And Jay and I have a long and collegial relationship, and I’m going to go over there with him and the other governors. So we’re going to talk about our views about what’s going on, and listen to his and that collegiality has been going on for four years when I was here before, and the President very much values that. I think that the- the thing about–
MARGARET BRENNAN: But that’s not to influence–
HASSETT: –lower interest rates, no, I’m going to talk about- well, Jay is going to- Jay is an independent person. The Fed- independence is respected. And- and the point is, the President’s opinion is also- can be heard. He’s the president of the United States. But here’s the thing that I think is interesting, that if we get inflation under control, then that takes the pressure off the Fed. And one way to tell whether markets think, are we getting inflation under control, is to look at longer term interest rates that the Fed doesn’t affect directly. And if you look at it, the 10 year treasury rate has dropped about 40 basis points over the last couple of weeks while we announced our plan to control inflation. That saved the American people about $40 billion, about $40 billion, just from talking about the stuff that we’re about to do.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay.
HASSETT: It’s pretty good.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right. But the President’s statement contradicts economic policy, as you know–
KEVIN HASSETT: No, inflation- no, inflation rates are already- I’m saying the interest rates are already lower by 40 basis points. So, in- interest rates are lower. The one that matters–
MARGARET BRENNAN: You’re briefing the president on it. Okay–
HASSETT: –the most for the economy is maybe the 5 or 10, year rate. Those the ones that matter the most. So those are down already. So the President’s right about that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Before we run out of time, I really want to make sure I get to you on tariffs–
HASSETT: Okay, sure.
MARGARET BRENNAN: –because there’s concern that that will add to prices, because they’ll be added on to consumers and what they pay. How are these reciprocal tariffs going to work? The President was tweeting he wants to put them on, like 175 different countries that have a VAT tax, a value added tax.
KEVIN HASSETT: You know, we’re talking to leaders of other countries all the time. Last night into the wee hours of their morning and kind of a late night for me, I was talking to Minister Reynolds from the UK about this very matter. But here’s the way I’d like to think about it, that right now, U.S. companies are spending, are paying, foreign governments about $370 billion a year in tax, and foreign comp- companies are paying the U.S. government about $57 billion in tax, and a lot of it is because of the VAT. But if we didn’t have to pay the foreign government’s tax, over 10 years, it’d be about $5 trillion of tax that U.S. citizens don’t have to pay. That would more than pay for the tax cuts that we’re debating right now. And so if we get some of that money back, either through tariffs, or for, obviously, if they reduce the tariffs of that, that that’s good for Americans, it’s going to put more money in their pockets, and- and that’s what President Trump is trying to do.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Kevin Hassett, I’d like to have you come back, sit at the table and talk through this in- in more detail at another time. We have to leave it there for today.
HASSETT: Thanks. Happy, happy to be here.
If the left MSM knew half of what they think they know, they would know nothing. We need to get the MSM to stop being Karen’s acting like Margaret’s.
I know six Karen’s and everyone of them are married to men named John. Too funny.
Karen’s are so tainted I was stunned when you said they were married!
Guess I need to get my thinking straight.
I just came to this thread after reading the thread about Margaret interviewing Secretary Rubio. In that interview she said Free Speech gave rise to the Holocaust. You just can’t make up the stupidity of these people.
FJB spent “$Billions of dollars just killing the chickens”.
Did Margaret ever talk about the Price of Eggs or food in general when FJB was President? I never heard it.
Or the ever increasing “transitory” inflation rate.
The bird flu thing is such a farce. Almost every human case has been mild or asymptomatic. The only people dead or almost dead were the elderly and a teen with obesity and asthma (who lived). They’re claiming that asymptomatic spread is bad because it could mutate into a deadly disease. Funny because I remember COVID actually becoming more mild as time went on. Why would the flu suddenly turn deadly?
Just like people in car and motorcycle wrecks who died of covid. Pink eye is what humans get from bird flu. I have had it myself.
the 2 deaths chalked up to covid at the parachuting facility were suspect as well
guys chute failed to open, and he, well, you know, went from 140mph to zeromph in a split second
his poor wife on the ground tragically witnessed the gruesome event unfold, and dropped dead of a heart attack
to this day i’m still more than a little skeptical these were truly covid related
Whoops, sorry for my redundancy
A little pink eye info from “our dear friends at CDC”/sarc, sarc, sarc
https://www.cdc.gov/conjunctivitis/treatment/index.html
Well, it WOULD turn deadly if it got a gentle, artificial, Faucian nudge through clandestine gain-of-function research….an if my memory is correct, Avian flu was one of the viruses that was on the WEF agenda to receive such a nudge.
That’s pretty much the only statistically viable way such a flu could turn deadly.

It is absolutely a Gain of Function Bioweapon.
And a fear p0rn psy-op.
Hopefully, it will all be exposed.
It sounds like Mr Hassett is aware.

What .. you no like bugs??
The ONLY way the Klassenfuhrer and his Wefian scumrads (and by extention the unigovern-mentals .. e.i. the neo-bolshevics who just had their invisibility shield yanked away) will eat ze bugs .. is through ingestion via the fowl THEY get to dine on. As for us peasants – they want to exterminate us by inducing severe ‘caloric reduction’.
Do they serve bug burgers in prison?
I feel like Klaussenstupin & Der Feuckenkopfen shall learn to en-choy ze roachencocker chips und pissenbeer. Yah!
It doesn’t. It never does. Viruses have a strategy to survive. If they kill the host before they can spread that eliminates their viability.
ALL “wild” viruses become increasingly contagious and less deadly as they mutate.
The common cold is a perfect example. No one does from catching a cold. Any problems are usually from 2ndary bacterial infections that lead to things like pneumonia
Exactly! It makes no sense unless it’s engineered.
Exactly.
All scientists before 2019 knew this. Doctors treated the worst viruses with “supportive care,” IV fluids & keeping the electrolytes balanced & the body hydrated while the body just outlasted the life cycles of short-live microorganisms & their offspring. Eventually, the virus population just died out & the patient recovered.
Then, the WHO board members started taking bribes. Corrupt politicians started appointing corrupt scientists to run their psyops at NIH/CDC.
They aren’t finished yet.
It’s fear porn. One thing I got out of COVID, other than a mild flu, is that all viruses mutate to become more contagious but less deadly.
I could never figure out why we slaughter entire flocks of chickens. Why not quarantine the flock and keep those that survive, then use those as breeders for a possibly more resistent bird?
Many researchers have been making that point for years, as China and other asian countries put in practice the large scale killing of chickens to combate the virus. It makes much more sence, to isolate groups of birds let natural immunity accur and treat where possible. You then should end up with lower economic impact and more resistent populations. Unfortunantly, we followed the same practice , over the last year plus in our country. Gain of function research on this virus has been going on by several groups in the United States, U of Wisconsin Madison/ U of NC Chapel Hill (again), SEPRL in Athens. The chance the there was an accidental release of birds or virus are high. Most probably infecting migratory birds(ducks, geese, or others).
We slaughter entire flocks to get the results we got: food shortages and higher food prices. That was the goal; study the World Ecomonic Forum agenda. The proper procedue is to cull the flocks. Otherwise healthy birds with antibodies are a good thing, not a bad thing.
Joel Salatin on bird flu & egg prices:
“I have always suggested that the survivors should be kept for breeding in order to build flock immunity. This is such a basic animal genetic principle it’s not debatable. And yet U.S. scientific protocol is ‘kill the healthy ones.’
-Joel Salatin
It was a scam that was meant to be a mail in ballot 2.0 for Democrats. Problem now is, eggs are involved in many ingredients of foods at the store, etc. So the Scam is causing inflationary havoc at the grocery level. Leave it to Democrats to wreck what was affordable groceries in America. Same BS that Obama did to us as well, (the first time around).
Because Big-Med makes a lot of money when there’s lots of fear over dying, so they turn that into an Agenda! It worked with Covid, crapped out with Monkey Pox, but may be big with Bird Flu.
I think the world’s populations are a bit less naive than they were for Covid. I seriously doubt that anyone could get the lock down protocols approved or observed again, for instance.
They started in with the bird flu some time ago so it was obvious that they planned to use it like they did covid. And FJB helped with that by killing so many chickens.
Last I read, the symptomology was similar to “pink eye”…which reminded me of the following saying:
“Germs, the only thing that children willingly share”.
I’ve always thought ecposure is how you build immunity.
Ask Kelly Clarkson! “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger!”
Exactly! This has always been the traditional response to viral tolerance–any tolerance, really–increased exposure, over time, increases tolerance & causes the pathogen, irritants’ effects to become weakened.
“Like cures like” is the oldest medical practice in the world.
Politicized medicine has made our “healthcare system” boil with brilliant idiots who worked hard in med school to become malleable mush minds. It’s a sorry situation.
The problems left for PDJT to deal with were mentioned yesterday in an article on Lew Rockwell’s website:
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/02/brandon-smith/could-trump-reverse-engineer-esg-and-use-it-for-good-instead-of-evil/
“….The excessive spending through ESG was not only designed to change western culture, it was also designed to hide glaring weaknesses in the current system. Since before the elections I have continued to warn that Trump’s greatest adversary is not the Democrats or the “deep state” or leftist activists; rather, his greatest adversary is the US economy. Trump has inherited a system in stark decline, but much of this data is unknown to the public at large.
The Biden Administration used creative accounting to hide much of the damage. They were unable to obscure the greater effects of stagflation on retail prices and the housing market, but the inherent weaknesses in the labor market, wages, GDP, energy markets, national debt and the US dollar are all less understood by the public.
The Biden Admin is gone but they have left a ticking time bomb behind; the data they were suppressing is about to be unleashed and Trump’s first year is going to look like a financial disaster unless he addresses the problem immediately….”
Thank you for the transcription! Funny.
Poor Margaret. She thought…..
And that was her undoing – she thought.
I thought….that I saw her eyes glaze over.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Kevin Hassett, I’d like to have you come back, sit at the table and talk through this in- in more detail at another time. We have to leave it there for today.
Sid: Name your poison, Marge.
He is so much smarter then her so much so that she cannot keep up lol
And Hassett is so pleasant as he slices and dices. She can’t be mad at him, he isn’t snarky at all.
He is President Trump’s Happy Warrior.
Whip smart…
I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Kevin.
The same goes for me. I was happy to see him at the Oval Office XO signing/press conference.
I believe Margaret had no idea how to handle this interview. He is charming and his manner disarming.
Had she called him every name in the book, he is demeanor wouldn’t have changed one whit.
Unflappable.
I’ve always liked Kevin Hassett. Affable, competent and intelligent.
He spent a lot of time on Kudlow’s program on Fox Biz News the past few years. Always so smart and informative, and adorable!
Symptom of H5N1 is conjunctivitis. That’s about it. Salatin suggests culling the few birds who get it, and genetically select for those who don’t get it. Problem solved.
Yes, they unwittingly discovered the virus that’s been causing mild conjunctivitis all along.
here in iowa its not just the chickens it turkeys too.one dies and they kill the whole flock and for what buddy of mine lived on a turkey farm back in the 80’s everyday they went out and picked up the dead birds and threw em in the rendering bin and went on with their day,had dead birds pretty much every day.i say quarantine the whole building and weed out the dead ones,if the flu is so bad within a couple weeks either 99% will still be alive or the whole building will be dead.my bet 99% live.
You would win the bet.
Ah, my thought exactly.
Anything can test positive if you choose. Killing chickens was done with intention, and the intent was NOT to “stop the spread” of Avian Flu.
And neither will vaccinations, which they damn well knew in 2005.

Kevin Hassett has brains, is respectful and humble and a MAGA ROCK Star!!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
I remember that excellent Thanksgiving episode from WKRP in Cincinnati: “I swear to God I thought turkeys could fly.”
If you don’t get the reference, you really missed out.

That show is a CLASSIC!! My family watches it every year as part of our Thanksgiving tradition. No matter how many times I see it, it makes me laugh until my sides hurt. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!” Best comedy line EVER!!
A gentler and happier time…and funnier…
Very much so.
Yes, the past was a happier time. We laughed more.
Les Nessman’s finest episode !!
Well, the wild ones can, but another thing that domestic turkeys cannot do is mate. They’ve been bred to have such large breasts that the toms can’t get close enough to do the job. They’re all artificially inseminated as shown on an equally hilarious episode Of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”
Classic Comedy!
That was one of the funniest episodes on all of TV that I have ever seen.
My great grandfather was a baker. This how “Government” destroys livelihoods (and millions of Chickens) like they did to many small businesses with the Covid-1984 Coup against President Donald J Trump. Small business has always been the backbone of Heritage America and the way for us to reach the middle class no matter what your ‘paint job’ as our treeper from FLA says it.
Membership in the anti-American Council On Foreign Relations should mean termination.
amazingly, noone in the world has reported massive numbers of dead native birds lying around everywhere
it’s almost as if they’re entirely making this stuff up
i personally know of a few golf courses that could use a little help controlling the out of control mud hen population, but those suckers appear to be immune
Perhaps they developed herd immunity…a novel concept the idiots on the left don’t want to think about.
Yikes, and I was drinkin my coffee!!! 😛
BRENNAN: Why did the chicken cross the road?
HASSETT: Chickens don’t fly
I still think the Trump administration should boycott CBS, and CNN too. They’re not really “news organizations” and don’t even pretend to be.
Then how do they get their message to those who get the propaganda from those outlets? More and more people like Brennen are being exposed to their audiences. (Which are then shrinking.) Engage and defeat is better than ignore and let them metasticize. I only see this in places like this.
Please don’t. The beatings on narrative engineers have become wildly entertaining.
Who knew that you could defang a snake just by smiling at it?
Hahaha!! I think King David knew it! Praise GOD!!! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Happy Hassett!
All of them, starting with our VVSGPDJT, are happy warriors. What a magnificent time to be alive. MAGA on steroids.
Refreshing to hear truly intelligent people in government who care about Americans.
The whole bird flu drama makes no sense. How can anyone identify a single case of bird flu in a flock? The simple answer is you can not. The wholesale slaughter of any foodstock should be a last resort and not done precipitously.
But then again the same thing applies to the use of vaccines.
It was a terrible, terrible thing to do.
exactly Sarasotosfan, they want to develop a vaccine for the chickens, and quickly. That should send lots of money circling around the big boys. Seriously. Of course we get to ‘eat’ that vaccinated meat then etc
They won’t bother to test to see how that affects the population first.
We humans prefer our food ‘natural’. Big Pharma/education/ gov just can’t keep their greedy ideas in check. 😛
Of course it is good science ( sarc)
Mrs. Hannity-Brennan sits there with her hand up in the air throughout the interview and mumbling trying to interrupt Hassett while he’s answering her questions.
The best offense is to smile and speak armed with rational facts. They want to keep you on the defense.
The whole point he was making by saying “chickens don’t fly” is we should not be worried about chickens spreading Avian flu, when Geese and Ducks are the main culprit SO WHY KILL ALL THOSE CHICKENS? = I heard a very interesting theory when it comes to viruses hoping to livestock WHY do we not hear of Covid hoping into alligators, raccoons, bears, and snakes? = better said what is with THE FACT they ONLY hop into THE THINGS WE NORMALLY EAT like cows, chickens and fish????
I believe it was reported/propagandized that covid killed some zoo animals and was found in wildlife. Of course, with the covid virus being flushed and washed into water supplies would explain the spread to all sorts of other animals. With that PCR test, I would bet they would find the covid virus, avian flu virus, etc. in plants too. It is a never-ending loop because they never do anything to foster development of natural immunity – not in humans and not in animals.
U not wrong
When the Demented Fraud’s puppet masters wanted to do everything possible to damage America’s middle class, they didn’t really need much justification, just a compliant leftist media to spread BS
Because it’s a massive psyop.
So, why aren’t ducks and geese dropping like flies not to mention crows and sparrows, I ask myself?
.
I see a meme in this, put to the melody of “The Surrey With The Fringe On Top” from “Oklahoma”
“Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey . . . “
It spread to flies now? Are bats protected?
Sid, that’s so appropriate!
Good call.
PCR testing is not fraudulent when used correctly, i.e. in a research environment. Using PCR as a justification for ANY OTHER PURPOSE is extremely fraudulent. I believe that the people who did this with COVID and do it today with bird flu are malicious actors and should be forced to answer publicly for their crimes.
I know it all comes down to money, but surely people understand that money is only one dimension of life. You can’t ruin the world because you’re obsessed with collecting little bits of metal. And those people who are unable to stop attacking the world for money are effectively not human, in my opinion. They are mindless, mechanical creatures who must be imprisoned, exiled, or killed. They are no different functionally than a rabid dog.
PHD Kary Mullis did not invent the PCR for “testing”. In fact he said it was stupid and malpractice to use it at all for testing.
Yet suspiciously, biden awarded bonuses in hospitals based on a positive result of that PCR test.
Agree with your statement in the first paragraph. Kary Mullis warned against its use by Fauci…strangely enough Kary died of a pneumonia-like illness a few months before a world pandemic Conference attende by Fauci.
See: https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/05/pcr-inventor-it-doesnt-tell-you-that-you-are-sick/
Sociopaths should not procreate. Past cultures shunned, cast out or flat out killed those who undermined a safe cohesive community.
They are Satanic, plain and simple.
Thousands of birds on the planet and the only ones being killed are chickens, hmmm!
I just ate a chicken sandwich with fried onions and peppers on homemade pita bread. I feel great.
That sounds good!

A lesson for the US: false statistical modeling in the UK led to the unnecessary slaughter of many millions of farm animals.
Imperial College epidemiologist Neil Ferguson was behind the disputed research that sparked the mass culling of eleven million sheep and cattle during the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. He also predicted that up to 150,000 people could die. There were fewer than 200 deaths. . . .
In 2002, Ferguson predicted that up to 50,000 people would likely die from exposure to BSE (mad cow disease) in beef. In the U.K., there were only 177 deaths from BSE.
In 2005, Ferguson predicted that up to 150 million people could be killed from bird flu. In the end, only 282 people died worldwide from the disease between 2003 and 2009.
In 2009, a government estimate, based on Ferguson’s advice, said a “reasonable worst-case scenario” was that the swine flu would lead to 65,000 British deaths. In the end, swine flu killed 457 people in the U.K.
In March 2020, Ferguson admitted that his Imperial College model of the COVID-19 disease was based on undocumented, 13-year-old computer code that was intended to be used for a feared influenza pandemic, rather than a coronavirus. Ferguson declined to release his original code so other scientists could check his results. He only released a heavily revised set of code after a six-week delay.
Ferguson’s COVID-19 death modeling was so extreme (and in hindsight wildly inaccurate) that governments around the world were spooked – and the rest is history.
So the real scandal is: Why did anyone ever listen to this guy?
And Ferguson is still wheeled out by the BBC as their go-to pandemic authority.

These “people” who perpetrated these artificial pressures on the economy need to be identified…
Their pictures along with a description of their crimes need to be put on every package of chicken…
Publish their address and phone number as well…two can play this game….
To wit…
NO MERCY!
“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everyone has decided not to see” Ayn Rand
100% chance the bird flu was another hoax, a deliberate action to screw with the economy. Same goes for all the ” farms and food processing plants mysteriously burning down.
I agree 100%
My daughter’s flock is just fine…
And other area small farms are not having problems.
I’ve read in our local area papers that a few small farms have a few sick birds, but they have been isolated and are being treated. The remainder of the small flocks on farms are just fine.
We are fortunate we can buy local farmers’ eggs, meat, milk, etc.
Personally, I believed and still do believe that this “emergency bird flu” was nothing but a bunch of hogwash to scare people and to cause shortages and high prices.
It’s a damn shame that the FJB administration can get away with killing our farmers livestock, destroy their buildings and peoples’ lives.
So many were harmed by this hateful action; there should be resolution and justice in the future for our family farmers.
This “Dunce” gets tens of millions a year to read scripts! Dumber than a rock.
Keep killing the chickens won’t ever get to herd immunity. Just like Covid. Get your booster
every 6 months or every year. The money train.
WHAT IF:
An audit would be conducted on those chickens that were killed –
WHAT IF:
the chickens were killed purportedly due to avian flu and the company with all the chickens killed wrote off those chickens tax-wise
meanwhile the chickens were not actually killed over avian flu but were butchered and processed and made available to organizations – NGO’s – helping the migrants – the illegal aliens – on their way to the USA – or were provided as food for migrants already here, working for very little in the agricultural industry and these chickens that were supposedly culled due to avian flu were actually just fine.
Does that sound like a conspiracy theory?
There should be an audit anyway of the federal monies that were involved in the expenditure by the USDA for the killing of the chickens and what became of them, what company was raising the chickens and did they get a tax write-off for the massive killing of their chickens due to avian flu.
Follow the money!
I agree; there should be an investigation.
A great job for DOGE when they audit the Department of Agriculture and CDC.
What a delightful man. I wasn’t aware of him before this article. Glad he’s helping PDJT.
Sid!
The Caligula Brandon Regime did everything they could to turn our country into a dumpster fire.
And if that weren’t bad enough, they lit a fuse on the way out the door.
This Avian/Herpetic GAIN OF FUNCTION BIOWEAPON is a perfect example of the lengths they have gone to in their effort to destroy us and our country.

B UT FentenylFloyd had covid, too
So nice to hear the voice again
of our Happy Warrior!😁
Also happy that I listened closely
and took the advice to keep the
pantry stocked.
And I haven’t told anyone I know that
I have more than 15 dozen eggs
in my freezer! 😁

The shelf life of fresh eggs is a very long time before you have to freeze them.
They don’t even have to go in a refrigerator, if you have a cool pantry area.
Washed versus unwashed eggs.
Most commercial eggs at your grocers are “washed” or chemically treated.
If eggs are washed then they go immediately into the fridge. If they’re nice and clean “unwashed eggs” then they keep for 2 weeks at room temperature
“If eggs are left unwashed with the bloom intact, you can place them on your kitchen counter. Unwashed, room temperature eggs should keep for about two weeks. If you aren’t planning to eat your eggs for a while, we recommend refrigerating them. The cooler temperatures increase the shelf life, with eggs keeping for up to three months in the refrigerator.”
((They’ll keep longer than 2 weeks if unwashed at room temperature but the safest plan is into the fridge.))
My Tennessee grandfather had ~30 chickens, I don’t know how long he kept them but it was way more than 2 weeks on an out of the way table in the dining room.
He probably sold some but I never saw anyone that ever came over to buy them, he may have also sold to local store but I never saw him take any eggs anywhere, course… he got up with the sun & I did not…. LOL
Went to bed with the chickens too.
We used to vacation on some farms when I was growing up. My grandfather worked on some farms in the teens and twenties before he married, and they always went back to visit every year.
I used to go with the farmer in the morning to collect the eggs when I was 3 to 6 years old- he had 3 chicken coops- one was built of logs. The one built of concrete block in 1907 still stands but the rest of the farm is gone. When I was maybe ten, I went with him one time to sell his eggs in a nearby town- about a half-hour drive. If my memory is correct, he had 36 dozen eggs in the trunk of his ‘65 Chevy. We stopped at A&W for a root beer float and then he drove back.
The eggs were kept in the cellar under the house. I don’t know how frequently he made the trip. Those farm raised eggs tasted better than any store bought eggs today.
Margaret has never been totally dominated by a nicer man.
I just had the flu for the 2nd time since “Covid”
3 days of IVM & it was over. I can be considered to have numerous markers for it to be considered hazardous but frankly, I survived then & now because I paid attention to Dr Paul Marik very early in 2020.
You chose a good one to pay attention to. He was at Norfolk General Hospital and was among the first to recommend ivermectin and was criticized for it. He was the one who clued me in about covid. Thought you might be interested in this link as it is very complimentary of him.

I am continually stunned by the combination of stupidity and arrogance that these MSM news anchors possess. Margaret is worst than most as she pretends to be some sort of economic genius jousting with Kevin Hassert. Kevin, as always, is simply to kind to her.
Bird Flu Scare Is a Ploy for More Mass Genetic Vaccination
https://www.globalresearch.ca/bird-flu-scare-ploy-mass-genetic-vaccination/5859400
Correct. Ran too many cycles just as we did with “the Covid.” PCR tests don’t work. Never did. Lastly, no such thing as bird flu. Did I read that the Rothchilds bought the patent on the PCR tests? Glad we Treepers can express our own opinions on this most wonderful forum.
Interesting that the article calls bidenomics a tragedy and also has this sentence: Massive legislation that he pushed to address climate change is already reducing emissions and likely will continue to do so even in the face of hostility from the Trump administration.
Irony is lost on the author.
It’s the Canadian Geese…They’re everywhere crapping on everything
The whole bird flu thing is totally bogus. There is no risk to humans. Anyone who wants to get hysterical about BIRD FLU!!!!!! should consider this: no virus has ever been proven to exist by the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Virologists have used all kinds of assumptions, tests without controls, and all kinds of non-scientific methods which they say proves the existence of viruses, but because their studies are so lacking in scientific methods, they really don’t prove what they say they do.
So viruses are just not a threat not to birds or humans.
When you understand the reality you see how insane these policies are.
But the problem is doctors are all indoctrinated in medical school to believe virology is a real science (when in reality it is a pseudo-science). Because all doctors are indoctrinated, they indoctrinate their patients, and when government calls on them for advice, they bring dogma not scientific knowledge to the table.
I understand all this because I was indoctrinated in medical school along with all other doctors.
So everything about viruses is fake. The PCR test was never meant to diagnose ANY DISEASE. The use of the PCR is fraudulent, but it was all the globalists could figure out to use to fake evidence of who had COVID and who did not. But we all know now that the PCR test gave over 95% false positives! So of what use is it? It doesn’t take a highly trained scientist to realize this is just more bogus stuff to scare people and try to control what people do.
If you ignore everything related to the fairy tale of viruses and PCR tests, you will be a lot happier and actually you’d be in better touch with reality than if you get bent out of shape after hearing a lot of gobbledygook fake science from the media.
it’s a solid bet they killed all the chickens specifically to drive up egg cost, so they could blame on PDJT. Like the saying goes when dealing with commie Dems, never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice.
and greed
The logic is nuts.
– Premise: Killing chickens is raising egg and other food prices.
– Premise: Killing chickens is necessary. The USDA said so!
– Deduction: Therefore inflation is necessary. Because chickens must be killed.
Biden Logic: How can we have inflation if we can’t kill chickens? If we can’t kill chickens, how can we have inflation?
Pudding brain logic.🤪How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?!
I hope most people realize farmers can and do insure their herds and flocks of cattle, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys and probably even more species. However, some farmers are simply “sub-contractors” who house and tend to the animals under their care, but the animals actually are the property of a much larger corporate entity.
The commercial laying hens are in enclosed building, they don’t get to go outside. So HOW do they get the bird flu? They don’t watch TVs either so they don’t know they are supposed to catch it. s/
