Scientists say an apocalyptic bird flu could wipe out half of humanity
2020-05-31
The science is settled.
[NYPOST] The coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
has killed over 365,000 people worldwide in just five months — but that’s nothing compared to what could be coming if humans don’t clean up their act when it comes to chickens.

In his new book, "How to Survive a Pandemic," Dr. Michael Gregor, a scientist and physician who once testified for Oprah Winfrey in her "meat defamation" trial, warns that an apocalyptic virus emanating from overcrowded and unsanitary chicken farms has the potential to wipe out half of humanity.

Greger, a space alien from the Vega system vegan, writes that "In the ’hurricane scale’ of epidemics, COVID-19, with a death rate of around half of one percent, rates a measly Category Two, possibly a Three. ... The Big One, the typhoon to end all typhoons, will be 100 times worse when it comes, a Category Five producing a fatality rate of one in two. ... Civilization as we know it would cease."

#8  I know this was experimented on here in the USA. Birds die very fast of Pneumonia. This work was done here back in the 1970's.

#3  Greger isn't too bad if he sticks to his day job. He has some "activism" in his blood. But talk about alarmist!
