Note that I glossed over the details of exactly how animal agriculture contributes to pandemic risk. What you need is a comprehensive book with thousands of scientific citations! Check out my latest book How to Survive a Pandemic (https://nutritionfacts.org/how-to-sur...) (note: all my proceeds from this book are donated to pandemic prevention charities). And this is the last chance to download (https://drgreger.org/collections/down...) this whole series for free if you want to have it in one place!
