The Trump administration's cost-cutting measures have significantly hampered the national effort to control the spreading bird flu virus.
This delay in response has allowed the virus to infect over 1,000 cattle herds across seventeen states within a year's time.
The administration's actions, including firing key scientists and limiting data access, have further hindered effective containment strategies.
Experts express serious concerns over the administration's approach, citing potential risks and the urgent need for a coordinated response.
