Why are so many whales washing ashore dead in NY & NJ?

Ooh! I've got one for you and Tucker to run with:
The Biden admin is secretly dumping mass quantities of govt owned and expired Covid vaccines into the ocean off the east coast. The whales ingest the vaccine while feeding and develop myocarditis
Or:

No, it's not the wind projects, experts say...
It's never what Tucker says it might be...until it is of course
Thanks for playing!

Have they done any necropsies? I think that is the word for an autopsy on an animal. What do they do with the remains, that 35 footer looks huge, yet some blue whales can get almost 3x that length. Do they bury some right on the beach?

I struggle to understand why anyone would put windmills in the ocean. Wind generated energy has the highest cost per MWH due to frequently needed maintenance. Now you are going to put them in salt water? That salt air is very corrosive, and these windmills will have to be serviced by boats, which burn a lot more diesel than service trucks on land based farms.

You know, whales are social mammals. I'd bet my last dollar they didn't follow the CDC social distancing guidelines.

Al Gore and his band of misfits are making money hand over fist about carbons in the air, just too damn bad about microplastics in the ocean. I think the earth can do just fine with its air, just think that it is a different story about plastic in the ocean.

NOAA performed necropsies on about half the whales and found that of those, 40% of the deaths were caused by human interaction, either being caught in fishing gear or struck by vessels.
Sperm whales, an endangered species, have also been found dead along the eastern coasts.
The most recent death of a humpback whale, which washed ashore in Maryland on 16 January, prompted a press conference by NOAA officials and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), as it came amid mounting concerns a local wind farm development was to blame.
"There is no information supporting that any of the equipment used in support of offshore wind development could directly lead to the death of a whale," said Benjamin Laws, deputy chief for permits and conservation with NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources.

They say the same thing about COVID vaccines and young people dropping dead with heart problems

It seems obvious that at least some of these "blunt force" injuries" are the whales smacking into the foundations for the wind mills. It's like putting a bunch of concrete pillars in the middle of a highway and acting surprised when cars run into them.
