They care more about some ostriches rather than human lives...

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

They don't even care about the ostriches, just want to push their "bird flu is just a cold" propaganda.

Wait until you see what they're going to do with those ostriches (probably).

"OK kids, today we have a special guest. TV's Dr Oz, and his friend, Ozzie, the diseased ostrich. Let's learn about 'herd immunity'."

Either I'm having a slow day or that's a really bad headline, had to read it 3 or 4 times before I could parse it.

Could also be the bonkers content the title is trying to convey. I would not be the least bit surprised to see any of these three on one of those rich-people-trophy-hunting-beloved-and-endangered-animals safaris, and yet, our health secretary is trying to bring flu ridden Canadian ostriches to Florida. Because of course he is.

Meanwhile, American billionaire John Catsimatidis said in a statement that he, along with Oz and U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., are seeking a "diplomatic meeting with Canadian officials" about the fate of the ostriches before irreversible harm is done."

Yeah, really awkward. CBC must be low on staff.

If "Dr." Fuckin Oz kick-starts the next pandemic ...

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

That’s absolutely what’s going to happen

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Allegedly...

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

American idiots with IQs the level of my shoe size call upon Canadian science based org to don something incredibly stupid

Yeah, that makes sense
