Forget nuclear war or global warming: America is still 'fundamentally unprepared' for zoonotic diseases - the biggest threat to humankind, says analysis by Harvard and NYU
Infections that jump from animals to humans could spark the next pandemic, scientists have warned Experts say the US still has 'blindspots' in its regulations raising the risk of an outbreak in the country

With the US teetering on the brink of nuclear war with Russia and gloomy warnings about climate change, many believe these events could end the human race.
But the biggest threat to humanity is still zoonotic diseases — pathogens that jump from animals to people — according to experts from Harvard University and New York University.
In an editorial published today, they claimed America is 'fundamentally unprepared', despite the Covid pandemic being so fresh in people's minds, as well as the recent bird flu and Marburg virus outbreak scares.
Africa and China are normally seen as the places most likely to spawn a pandemic — where Ebola, Marburg, SARS, and Covid all emerged.
But the latest report claims that the US is also one of the countries most at risk of a zoonotic outbreak with pandemic potential because it is one of the world's biggest importers of live animals. The US imports 200million annually valued at $3billion. For comparison, in China imports are valued at $945million.
There are also 'blindspots' in US regulation, leaving windows open for animal diseases to enter the country and spread to humans undetected — potentially sparking an outbreak.

Add it to the list.
Does it affect Hot Pockets or Sportsball?
Nope!
Hmm...nothing about the mad scientists’ pursuit of gain-of-function research, or Pfizer working to mutate COVID in order to develop more ‘vaccines’ and rake in obscene profits?
I think that’s a really big threat.
These people need to be locked up forever, or worse.
People who think the greatest threat to America is zoonotic diseases are a threat to America, not the only threat.
Harvard has become the CNN of colleges.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” HL Mencken (1880-1956)
Not to mention the Lab-Grown viruses or are we supposed to not say that?
But still not as big of a threat as those J6 Protestors, according to The Left.
“Does it affect Hot Pockets or Sportsball?”
The real question is, what are the best hot pockets to microwave to perfection. To eat while watching generic sportsball on yr 4K 70” TV?
They are telling us what their next biological weapon attack will be.
The spin in this narrative is so great
It creates its own gravity and magnetic field.
We'll see more of this happening as Spring arrives this year.....
“They are telling us what their next biological weapon attack will be.”
Avian flu/bird flu/chicken flu would be very hard to trace back to the culprit (CCP) nation that can make it into a human flu. Then spread this in the USA. There must be at least 300,000 working on chicken farms in the USA and this includes illegal aliens.
By chicken farming, I mean farming them to lay eggs and farming them to be sold as meat. (I have very briefly worked in chicken houses) (what a stench)
It’s OK. Pfizer will save us.
One easy cure... Stop sleeping with animals.
Sadly, with the expansion of LBGTQRSTV... It’s only a matter of time before beastiality and pedophilia become acceptable to the leftist woke crowd.
Daily Mail wants everyone to live in fear.
It’s easy to prepare for these zoonotic diseases with adequate vitamins D3 & C supplementation.
Zoonic diseases. Like aids and buttpox perhaps?
