EI eradication questions

The real killer of trust is as pointed out before are the so many half truths.
The fact that instead of the ausvet plan being followed to the letter, politics hijacked and took over, enabling its spread far further than it would have.Then there’s the question how effective is a plan that never put any of the necessary protocols in place, i.e., applications to import vaccine already applied for and passed so the plan could swing into action without waiting an entire month, then thanks to political intervention those that did arrive were hijacked and never saw the buffer zone.

That’s a pretty big trust breaker. Well unless you’re a TB trainer with horses in work and had a least one race start.

That was the other half truth that sticks and repeated at every one of those DPI information meetings going on.

That this happened because the racing industry had one voice representing EVERY member of the TB industry. If that were really true I haven’t met one single broodmare owner or youngster in training that had not had its first start yet, saying that they did not want theirs vaccinated.

They are the majority of the TB industry not the ones actually racing.
Yet where did all the vaccinations go. WHERE WAS THEIR ONE STRONG VOICE?????

They felt just as voiceless and forgotten as the rest of us.
BUT For me one burning question RIGHT NOW is the often repeated one that after a month the property where the outbreak occurred is free of the virus.

If that is so WHY WAS RANDWICK EVACUATED AND DISINFECTED?
FOR WHAT?

If as we are told the virus is dead by then?

I don’t see any protocols for the disinfecting of any of the nearly 4,000 other properties so listed, Why only Randwick?
