"What are you alarmists going on about? There is no need to do anything, it only affects birds!

Ok, it affects mammals, but I’m not doing anything because it’s not dangerous to them.

Ok, it’s dangerous to them, but I’m not doing anything because it doesn’t transmit between them.

Ok, it transmits between them, but I’m not doing anything because not to humans.

Ok, to humans, but I’m not doing anything because it’s like a mild cold.

Ok, it’s killing people, but I’m not doing anything because…I don’t care, make me money"
