But… we don’t have an egg shortage. We have an egg price surplus. More eggs aren’t going to help. We need to stop appeasing the shareholders over the consumers.
If we could somehow vaccinate chickens, I wonder what the anti vaxxers would say. On the one hand they would be eating “potentially mutated and unsafe eggs” on the other hand they would be able to afford eggs.
There actually are vaccines for chickens that protects against Bird flu with multiple in development. However they are nog mass produced yet and currently only small trials are staking place where they vaccinate all or part of the chickens on a single farm. Information about two of the vaccines van be found at https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regulatory-overview/public-health-threats/avian-influenza-bird-flu

I thought it all started with the bird flu…? Meaning there is a shortage of flu free eggs.
Lot of the price hike is just greedy dickheads blaming avian flu while they stuff their pockets.
Farms have increased prices 10-20% but the shelf is seeing 200%+ increases.

I’m happy to know this. I hope it becomes commonly available, for the birds’ sake.
