Dairy farmers, increasingly polarized following the COVID-19 pandemic and worried about economic damages, are hiding likely bird flu cases in cows from the feds.
This has a real “hide the zombie bite from your friends” feel to it, albeit on a much grander scale.
Remember during the pandemic when the CDC made it very clear they didn’t give a fuck about us. 5 day back to work with COVID policy, with zero science to back it etc.
Almost like a government agency is as reliable as the head of the government. And you had a shitstain then, and now you have the results of decades of laws to reduce oversight. If the CDC doesn’t have the power over disease response, they don’t have responsibility. The FDA has no oversight over cattle on farms, so no responsibility. It’s your problem, not theirs.

The loss of public trust in the CDC in particular and public health in general are a huge problem. We’ll need a generation or two to fix it.
