    If we could get enough people to stop eating animal products at the same time, it would simultaneously lower their personal risks of infection, the risks of another pandemic, and it could hit the animal ag industries hard - who are some of the largest funders of the gop.

      I love the enthusiasm but the movement would immediately be labelled as woke and a lot of people would start eating more animals just to “own the libs”

      The problem is that the CDC isn’t getting to say anything right now, so we can assume that the moment they get to talk about it, the stupidest people you know are going to go “woah this was really sudden! They clearly made it in a lab!”

        in the beginning yes, but as the virus mutates, the variant that spreads quicker will also be less deadly. like with covid too. not that it isn’t dangerous now, but it was far deadlier in the early stages.
