President Donald J. Trump’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced plans to invest $100 million into bird flu “prevention, therapeutics, research, and potential vaccine candidates.”

“USDA will invest up to $100 million in these projects, which will identify and foster innovative solutions to fight highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and directly support America’s farmers and ranchers,” a press release reads.
The USDA has been performing gain-of-function experiments on avian influenza bird flu pathogens, making them more infectious and deadly—the same thing the U.S. government was doing to coronaviruses before the COVID-19 pandemic (during which Trump was president) broke out.
The government’s simultaneous creation of new pandemic pathogens and vaccines to treat the diseases those pathogens cause raises questions about intentions.
Is the government once again manufacturing a biological threat to justify its own solution—just as it did in past instances like Operation Big Buzz, Operation Big Itch, Operation Big Apple, and Operation Sea-Spray, where it deliberately deployed pathogens on unsuspecting American citizens without their knowledge or consent?
News of the funding allocation toward vaccines follows U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins’ recent announcement of “emergency funding” to “combat avian flu and reduce egg prices.”
USDA reportedly made the decision in consultation with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Today’s press release detailed how the funding will be available “to for-profit organizations, including manufacturers of vaccines, biologics, and therapeutics, States, universities, livestock producer organizations, and other eligible entities.”
The USDA will “prioritize proposals that address one or more of the following” goals:
Development of novel therapeutics and improved diagnostics to address HPAI in poultry,
Research to further understand risk pathways of avian influenza for producers and to inform improved biosecurity and response strategies,
Development of novel vaccines to protect poultry from HPAI while promoting biosecurity.
“USDA will test the efficacy of therapeutic interventions to prevent bird flu and treat infected flocks,” the release adds. “USDA, in consultation with HHS, will also explore prevention strategies to promote biosecurity in agriculture and in humans, to ensure limited impact on American farmers.”
“While USDA is exploring the viability of vaccinating poultry for HPAI; the use of any vaccine has not been authorized at this time. Before making a determination, USDA, in consultation with HHS, CDC, NIH, and FDA will solicit feedback from governors, State departments of agriculture, veterinarians, farmers, the public health system, and the American public.”

Trump to Ban Gain-of-Function Research Funding—Except for Bird Flu: WSJ
President Donald J. Trump’s administration is preparing an executive order that would at least temporarily halt federal funding for deadly gain-of-function (GOF) experiments that make pathogens more dangerous to humans.
Trump-Era Executive Order 13887 Authorized U.S. Defense Department to 'Facilitate Development of Next-Generation Influenza Vaccines' Just 3 Months Before COVID Pandemic
President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order 13887 on September 19, 2019, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic began and a novel mRNA vaccine would be developed for the disease.
Gates-Funded CDC Survey Bribes Symptomless Cow Veterinarians with $50 Gift Cards to Be Tested for Bird Flu
A recent publication in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) confirms the agency is bribing bovine veterinary practitioners with $50 gift cards in return for samples of their blood to be tested for H5N1 avian influenza “bird flu” antibodies.
U.S. Pumps Another $306 Million Into Bird Flu Pandemic Efforts
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced it would award $306 million to continue its H5N1 avian influenza “bird flu” response.
147 Million Poultry Slaughtered Since 2022—Culled, Not Killed by Bird Flu
The U.S. government has mandated the mass culling of poultry, leading to the loss of a record 147.25 million birds across all 50 states and Puerto Rico since 2022.
Bill Template to Make Nebulized Budesonide Over-the-Counter
In response to urgent public health needs exposed during recent respiratory disease outbreaks, including the ongoing measles outbreak in West Texas, a new legislative bill template has been introduced to authorize over-the-counter (OTC) sales of nebulized budesonide (respules) and nebulizer machines.
8 Studies Support Ivermectin's Effectiveness Against Influenza Amid Bird Flu Pandemic Worries
As the H5N1 influenza A virus (IAV) infects birds and mammals, including humans, across the world, health experts are warning a bird flu pandemic could be “100 times worse” than COVID-19.
7 Studies Confirm Antiviral 'Xofluza' Is 'Drug of Choice' for Bird Flu, as USDA Tests Ground Beef for Virus
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin testing ground beef for H5N1 bird flu (influenza) particles, as the virus has reportedly been found in nearly three dozen dairy herds across nine states.
This is ridiculous! We don’t need more vaccines, we need less! Maybe they should look at how these birds are caged so closely & how filthy these areas are.
Does Kennedy have jurisdiction over USDA? Sounds like it should be under DOD department of defense bio weapons program.
