Could this be caused by our poor animal husbandry and overconsumption of chicken?
No let's just pump money into big pharma

no, this is regulation’s fault. we need to cut those and also taxes on the rich while we’re at it.
Or just stop feeding foodstock infected feces. 
"Look, either they eat shit or you do! Or both of you do. I've got a bunch of shit and y'all gotta eat it or else I'm gonna make less money by paying someone to clean it up."

I thought there already was a birdflu vaccine and we just don't have the production capacity to vaccinate everyone. How does this help?
It helps Moderna
There isn't a bird flu pandemic vaccine because there isn't a pandemic yet.
They have lots of vaccines stockpiled (and could have enough doses for the world given how long they've been available) but it won't perfectly match a pandemic bird flu virus (similar to seasonal influenza).
Being able to use mRNA vaccines would help production issues and also help Moderna move on the influenza vax market
Well, you see, it makes the shareholders happy. Bet you didn't think of the shareholders, did ya? 
Currently there is no pandemic as human to human exchange of bird flu hasn't occurred yet (thankfully), instead we have bird to human transmission by way of people being around or tending to flocks of birds infected with bird flu (small and isolated incidences so far). All it takes however is someone to be infected while also suffering from a winter flu or cold for the right mutation shuffle to occur.
tag me when this goes the same way the Intel stimulus money injection went; millions missing, hundreds of jobs cut and nothing to show for it
$590 million of public money gifted to private entity so they can sell us back the vaccine we paid for
Capitalist efficiency fixing a problem capitalism created :)
The public health risk remains low,
Liberal publications needs to say this shit. When it fails in six months, no apologies or changes are ever made.
"No one could've seen this coming."
Wooo, time to blow that on stock buybacks.
And of course the worst part of it is that thanks to misinformation being spread by "the bird site", most birds are vaccine denialists who won't even take the vaccine.
(Sorry I am not able to articulate the joke properly. Maybe someone else can do it better.)
590 million dollars could buy a LOT of chicken feces to feed cows with!
On Friday, Moderna said the additional funding will help pay for late-stage development, licensure of the vaccines and expanding clinical studies for additional subtypes of pandemic influenza to prevent other potential public health emergencies.
So it is ready to go, basically?
Obviously EXPROPRIATION is the right tool for the job.
