Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg turned a lot of people off. While we’re still myopic about getting our hands on the vaccine for COVID-19, what are we doing to protect or prepare ourselves for the next pandemics to come? Are we really just going to keep relying on vaccines or can we finally give prevention a real try? By prevention, I mean stop breeding animals for consumption, or to sell as pets, or to test stuff on.
Prepping for something not 100-percent sure is just not urgent or important enough. Scientists did predict COVID-19 would come but even they admit that politicians wouldn’t have listened to them anyway because “highly likely pandemics” just aren’t top-of-the-list enough. “We are talking in masks!” It didn’t matter what we believed in. I said coronaviruses and climate change don’t care about political affiliations and aren’t partisan like religion and that whether or not the world would end by 2050 is up to us, really. He talked about (US) Democrats and Republicans and how he doesn’t believe the world would end by 2050. The relative talked about how COVID-19 may have come from a lab, and I said that while highly unlikely, even if it did, it’s indisputable that all other pandemics and coronaviruses have come from forcing animals to be in places they didn’t want to be in. Some will be put off, but there will be those who will shed their egos and open their hearts and minds to reality.
