Bird Flu, Beef Imports, and the Future of Food: A Conversation with Texas Slim & Vaccine Safety Research Foundation

Source & Broadcast Details:

• Guests: Texas Slim (The Beef Initiative), Dr. Kat Lindley, Dr. Lynn Fynn, Livio Sanchez
• Original Broadcast: VSRF Live on vacsafety.org

Summary & Key Points:
This episode brings together voices from health freedom, ranching, and food sovereignty to dissect the ongoing bird flu crisis, USDA mandates, and their impact on American agriculture. Texas Slim joins medical experts to reveal how centralized control over the food supply is escalating under the guise of biosecurity.

Key themes include:

• Bird Flu Mandates: USDA protocols leading to the mass culling of poultry and cattle herds, even when animals show no symptoms, raising concerns about food supply manipulation.
• Food Supply Disruption: The destruction of over 156 million poultry and questionable avian flu testing procedures are inflating food prices and threatening independent farmers.
• mRNA Vaccines in Livestock: Growing fears around forced vaccination of beef and poultry with mRNA-based products, particularly in imported meat from countries like China.
• One Health Framework: CDC and WHO-led global policies integrating human, animal, and environmental health, which critics argue prioritize control over public safety.
• Consumer Solutions: Texas Slim emphasizes direct relationships with local ranchers as the antidote—reclaiming food sovereignty through community-based agriculture and buying beef direct from trusted producers.

Notable Quotes:

• Texas Slim: “There’s a lot of deception in our food systems. We need a voice for the rancher and the consumer—to cut through this noise.”
