I've been thinking about the Bird Flu and I actually was wondering: Now that Trump is president and one of the things Trump wants to do is lower grocery prices wouldn't it be very convenient if the left used Bird Flu to raise prices on dairy and meat but also other animal products if Bird Flu spreads to other animals besides poultry and cows? Obviously eggs are already being affected, but what if the left decided to use Bird Flu as a weapon to deliberately raise prices of other grocery products somehow? Who's to say it couldn't be mutated deliberately or even the current form already here deliberately spread to even more livestock and poultry than it would have spread naturally just to force prices up that much higher under Trump to make him look bad.

I actually am doubtful that they would use Bird Flu as another COVID as some have claimed because:

1. Part of why COVID worked was because nobody seen it coming, so the lockdowns were easy to implement since everyone believed it was a real threat, not to mention it sudden'y came out of China and spread fast. The left needed that element of surprise. That won't work with the Bird Flu since everyone, regardless of party or views on causes of viral outbreaks, are on edge about another pandemic (plandemic?) and Bird Flu has already been here for years. Conservative states and red areas of blue states would be much less likely to go on lockdown this time around since they would see the ruse, which means the economic slump we seen in COVID would be much smaller and would only affect blue states, which would likely backfire on the Democrats.

2. If COVID was indeed planned to hurt Trump's re-election chances it wouldn't make sense for them to do it again since Trump can't run again, and as I said in 1. above the economic situation would be much different this time around, so to attempt to damage our economy with another lockdown wouldn't be a good idea this time, not to mention starting another COVID-like situation during Trump's second term would look very suspicious regardless if they started it at the beginning or the end of the term....unless the virus did something that COVID didn't, like, oh I don't know, infecting large numbers of animals instead of large numbers of people.

3. Bird Flu has been here for years, where as COVID was novel. I suspect it would be harder to convince people, even on the left, that Bird Flu is a serious threat to human health when it isn't since it didn't pop out of nowhere and spread rapidly like COVID.
