🤯 Are you ok with eating Bill Gates’ vaxxed meat?
Kenya’s President William Ruto vows to continue mass livestock vaccination despite criticism from some farmers. The program aims to block disease spread & meet international standards. 22m cattle & 50m sheep/goats targeted.
“I want to promise the people of Kenya that we are going to carry out this vaccination because our farmers deserve improved earnings,” he said. “I want to ask leaders who have no knowledge, who have no understanding, who have no plan, to spare us their ignorance.”
The Ministry of Agriculture says so far, only 10% of animals have been vaccinated. It says the vaccination rate needs to rise to 85% to make livestock products eligible for export.
Critics have questioned the effectiveness of the vaccines, and some livestock farmers expressed concern — not backed by any evidence — that the vaccine program is meant to sabotage their herds.
Patrick Torome, a livestock farmer in the Rift Valley region of Kenya, said he will not allow his animals to be inoculated.
“I will not vaccinate my animals because maybe I will be compromising the quality of my cows,” he said. “We don’t know whether someone is trying to introduce a virus to the animals. So, the rich will be able to afford the cure but the poor maybe will not be able, so people will introduce poverty in Africa.”
