#news There's been a Tuberculosis break out in cows after Bill Gates V*ccine Trial - leading to the k*lling of tens of thousands of cows, farmers say#uk The UK Bovine v*ccine trials, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation - have 3 phases, including 2 phases that target TB-free herds.Phase 2 (early 2025), used the vaccine Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)—commonly known as CattleBCG in the trials. It was given to small groups of cattle in low-risk areas of England and Wales, involving at least five farms and 600 animals v*ccinated in phase 2 alone. (Phase 1 was a skin test)#england After the v*ccine was administered to the animals - farmers came forward saying that cattle in their herds started testing positive for Bovine TB -- and they are now having to slaughter their cows.By March 2025 - a total of about 35,000 cattle were sl*ughtered because of bovine TB across Great BritainLike Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm, where the farm is now on lockdown after positive tests from one of his pregnant cows - so the cow, along with her unborn twins, were k*lled. Clarkson described the situation as "absolutely dreadful," saying the farm can't buy or sell cows for two months.The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided $51 million over time to the Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed) for animal health product development, including v*ccines for diseases like bTB in developing countries. And he's moving on to humans.... In 2024, Gates Medical Research Institute initiated Phase 3 trials for the human TB v*ccine, giving $400 million for the research with Wellcome at $150 millionAs for Bovine TB - it is a chronic respiratory disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium bovis. The disease can be catastrophic for farmers, and forces the k*lling of infected cattle. Due to a bTB incident in England between October 2021 and September 2022, 22,934 cows were killed.The disease, can also infect other animals including badgers - and officials believed by k*ling the badgers they could stop Bovine TB. Last year, nearly 11,000 badgers were killed, bringing the total k*lled in 12 years to around 240,000. However, 2022, a “landmark” report found that a k*illing badgers did not reduce the levels of tuberculosis in cattle.
