Culling Chickens to Stop Bird Flu Isn’t Working, Dr. Robert Malone Says

In a conversation with EpochTV’s Jan Jekielek, Malone questioned the strategy for avian influenza outbreaks. He'd prefer to breed flu-resistant chickens.

OXON HILL, Md.—In a discussion with American Thought Leaders host Jan Jekielek, Dr. Robert Malone questioned the current approach to limiting bird flu outbreaks—the culling of tens of millions of domesticated birds.

Twenty million egg-laying chickens died last quarter in connection with bird flu, including through the mass culling of flocks whenever avian influenza was spotted. The strategy is motivated in part by concern over the transmission of bird flu to humans.
