Why is she pushing /approving MRNA vaccines in our food supply vs leaving it up to the ranchers and farmers?

She is the daughter of the new Texas rep (Helen Kerwin) that Abbott campaigned for in our county (Johnson) to unseat another conservative in the name of passing school vouchers.

Yep, looks like they are wanting to punch through this current crappy bill in the coming weeks before they even finish a fiscal note.

Not sure but is the OP concerning Why isn't the U.S. using a bird flu vaccine in poultry? and why mRNA vaccines?

Nice link. Vaccine research is not a crime. She's doing what she can as fast as possible to contain the impacts of Biden's bird-flu policies and assist in lowering food prices.

"The important piece is not just this immediate short-term goal of getting the cost of eggs down and repopulating our layers and locking our barns down," she recently told Farm Journal at the Top Producer Summit in Kansas City. "But much more importantly, perhaps, is figuring this out for the long term, so we're not having the same conversation over and over and over again."
As Rollins detailed in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, the five-pronged strategy includes an additional $500 million for biosecurity measures, $400 million in financial relief for affected farmers, and $100 million for vaccine research, action to reduce regulatory burdens, and exploring temporary import options.
During the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture 2025 Winter Policy Conference in February, Rollins told state agriculture officials that the USDA will begin increasing egg exports to ease the demand and help bring down the price of eggs.
Turkey, which is one of the world's largest exporters of eggs, is expected to export 15,000 tonnes of eggs to the U.S. through July.
Sounds just horrible, and ag groups are surely upset, right? Oh, wait.

What are the details of the USDA's five-pronged approach to address avian flu?
  • Biosecurity: The department is dedicating up to $500 million to implement a pilot program called Wildlife Biosecurity Assessments to limit contamination at commercial egg-laying farms. "USDA will now provide this consulting service at no cost to all commercial egg-laying chicken farms," Rollins said in The Wall Street Journal piece. "We will also pay up to 75% of the cost to repair biosecurity vulnerabilities."
  • Financial relief: Farmers whose flocks were hit by avian flu will have access to $400 million in increased financial relief, and assistance for faster approval to restart operations after an outbreak, Rollins said.
  • Vaccines: The USDA will consult with state leaders, poultry and dairy farmers, and public-health professionals on possible use of a vaccine for egg-laying chickens, Rollins said. The department will provide up to $100 million in research and development to improve the efficacy of vaccines and other therapeutics. "This should help reduce the need to 'depopulate' flocks, which means killing chickens on a farm where there's an outbreak," she said.
  • Easing of regulations: The USDA will examine "the best way to protect farmers from overly prescriptive state laws, such as California's Proposition 12, which established minimum space requirements for egg-laying hens," Rollins said. The law has helped drive the state's average price of eggs to $9.68 a dozen, she said. "We also want to make it easier for families to raise backyard chickens."
  • Explore temporary import-export options: USDA will explore options for temporarily increasing egg imports and decreasing exports, if applicable, to supplement the domestic supply, subject to safety reviews. Eggs imported into the country must meet stringent U.S. safety standards, Rollins wrote in the Wall Street Journal, adding that the U.S. would be mindful of "American farmers' access to markets in the future."
Agriculture groups say plan is another step in the right direction
National Milk Producers Federation President and CEO Gregg Doud said dairy farmers and all of agriculture take biosecurity seriously, and thanked the USDA and the Trump administration for actions that will further those efforts.

"We support the department's initiatives to advance vaccine development and deployment that will help control, and ultimately eliminate, the virus in dairy cattle," Doud said.

The Dept of Ag approach has been to exterminate large populations of birds and start over.

I am willing to at least CONSIDER alternatives to this approach and read the research literature; because killing off millions of birds, the majority are not infected, cannot be efficient.
We may not always get what we want. We may not always get what we need. Just so we don't get what we deserve.

Good job bringing the facts.

OP learn something from this post above...

When you look at the details, all of it is with the COOPERATION of the industry professionals and they are talking about a POSSIBLE use of vaccines which have been used in animals since 1879.

The first animal vaccine invented was for chicken cholera in 1879 by Louis Pasteur.

Plus, she's been on Charlie Kirk for nearly an hour.

I can't listen right now but can see her and Kirk on the first hour of his show.

Enjoy!

And y'all, listen to nortex, he's smarter than he looks!

If he opposed school vouchers he wasn't a conservative. Sorry.
