Victima Insanorum

🇦🇺NOT ONE PENGUIN REPORTED INFECTED — NOW 5,000 ARE TO BE VACCINATED AND MICROCHIPPED Yes, you read that correctly. More than 5,000 little penguins in Victoria, Australia, are reportedly about to become part of what officials describe as the largest wildlife vaccination project ever undertaken. And there's one detail that should immediately make people stop and ask questions: The report says there have been NO reported cases of bird flu among the penguins. Yet thousands are to be captured and handled. Each bird will require TWO vaccine doses within two weeks. And they will also be MICROCHIPPED so authorities can monitor them. Even Victoria's Chief Veterinary Officer acknowledges that handling wildlife carries risks and that vaccination is “not a silver bullet.” So surely questions are legitimate. What evidence demonstrates that the benefits of intervening in a healthy wild colony outweigh the risks of capturing, injecting, microchipping and then recapturing thousands of animals? What safety data exists specifically for these penguins? And what happens if the intervention itself causes unintended harm? Craig Kelly has gone much further, describing the program as “vaccine fanaticism on steroids.” When 5,000 apparently uninfected wild animals are about to undergo an unprecedented vaccination operation, scrutiny isn't unreasonable. WATCH THIS REPORT AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. Are we protecting the penguins? Or experimenting with them? @craigkellyAFEE
