What, am I somehow to believe that animals, confined within inches of each other, surrounded/covered by their own feces, deprived of anything resembling exercise, and fed a nutrient deficient diet are somehow capable of rapidly spreading diseases?
Next you're gonna try and tell me that despite pumping them full of antibiotics, bacteria could somehow uhh... find a way to survive those conditions?

Time for the MAHA idiots to roll back more laws about chicken again. They love diseases.
