      Very controversial reply…

      Don’t get me wrong, i’m not a vaccine denier by any means, but I’m a believer that we shouldn’t be messing with our food, period. If people get sick and die because they choose to not get vaccinated then let that happen. The weak shouldn’t be allowed to thrive just because. Basically, stop protecting the stupid. It only bring the entire human race down.

        The problem is that if you don’t vaccinate the livestock, the virus spreads and mutates and ends up in humans (which is what happens now). It also means the herds are culled (mass killing of thousands of animals) resulting in meat shortages and prices going up.

        I suppose if it’s a concern, you could always label the products as vaccinated or vax free and “let the market decide” as they say. Continue to kill off the unvaccinated herds when they are infected and hopefully vaccinate enough to prevent mutation and transmission.
