Repeat By Tom Howarth FOLLOW 2 Ateam of international researchers has raised alarm over the potential for a pandemic stemming from antimicrobial resistance in animals used for food, particularly in Southeast Asia.

The study, published in the International Journal of Food Science and Technology, warns that the animals we consume could become a gateway for deadly superbugs, posing a significant threat to global public health and food security.

"There is a big pandemic waiting to happen in the form of antimicrobial resistance," Rajaraman Eri, the associate dean of biosciences and food technology at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, said in a statement.

"Drug-resistant diseases could cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050, according to the World Health Organization."

For perspective, 60 million people die worldwide every year. Increasing that by 17% is a big jump. But I think we can afford to lose another 0.1% of the earth's population every year. The progs should be overjoyed at the prospect of more death.

As a baby boomer, I resent your characterization. My parents, from the Greatest Generation, lived thru the Great Depression, went thru a World War, and were responsible for making this country into a super power.

You give a gross generalization, not at all accurate.

One way to combat this is, when buying frozen fish, look at the package and find the source of the fish. If it’s from Asia, don’t buy it.

“Big Pandemic Waiting to Happen,’ Scientists Warn”

The small print reads “but only if Trump is elected”

There have been so many cries of “wolf” these past four years that very few will believe a real alarm...if it ever comes.

“Science” has lost a lot of credibility.

Of course. It’s election season.
Another Pandemic to use as an excuse for mass mail out ballots, ripe for voter fraud just like 2020.

The only risk of a global pandemic is if Trump gets elected.

You give a gross generalization, not at all accurate.

What did I say that is incorrect?

Did not the Most Commie Generation vote for the Great Liberal Clown FDR? Four times no less.

Did they not slavishly allow him to impose rules saying that people could not grow food for their own use on their own property?

Were they not "anti-war" until the sweet holy Soviet Republic of Cannibals was attacked and then they were all for it?

Did they not vote in both Kennedy and Johnson to promote inflation and get us involved in still more wars?

This is all reality.

Now did your parents personally do it?

Probably not, but when you coldly look at the facts the "Most Commie Generation" did the country few favors.

And that is not even talking about the "social(ist) policies" they put in place and, once their kids entered the work force, they promptly doubled what they would have to pay in taxes from the first dollar they earned to keep their "social(ist)" benefits going.

These are just facts.

The end game is coming: I Timothy 4: “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.”

“THEY GOTTA try sumtin to harm mean orange man”

Orange man will never be allowed to sit in the Oval again. They will JFK him, start a biological war using multiple vectors(food,airborne,formite), a nuclear war or a full kinetic civil war, or a steal so blatant that it should make things fully hot but won’t because the GOP side are SIMPs.

Mark my words that man is never getting into that house again. The question is will one side that refuses to see they are already in a hot civil war go kinetic or not. If not than real tyranny set in but either way Orange man is never going to see the inside of the Oval again.

Waiting to happen == already past the planning stage.

Perhaps an October surprise?
