So, why aren't we racing to prevent the next pandemic? Is it because powerful forces are making $$$$$$ by exploiting animals?
Protest at Fox News
Global protests across 60 cities and 20 countries. Sounds pretty major, right? Sounds pretty newsworthy, right?
Protesters in Times Square! This dramatic demonstration was ignored by
advertiser-based mainstream media, which is funded by fast
food/meat/dairy/big pharma. Just look at the commercials!
Activists from across the globe are out on the streets begging the
mainstream media to make the connection: animal exploitation causes
pandemics. On May 1st, this effort came together for a global series of
demonstrations. In a visually compelling tour de force, hundreds of
activists came out in hazmat suits with alarms blazing! From Times Square to
Hollywood and beyond, they marched and chanted. Still, not one single
mainstream media network was willing to report the story. Why not? Just look
at the commercials. Meat/Dairy/Fast Food and Big Pharma pay the bills at the
news networks. Do you think they want the news anchors to be discussing how
animal exploitation causes pandemics? Nyet!
Jane Velez-Mitchell discusses the topic with a number of key figures in the
movement. Lead organizer Ray Ippolito, NYCLASS‘s Edita Birnkrant, Canada’s
Ray Kowalchuk of Climate Healers and the Animal Save Movement, Florida’s
Shannon Blair and LA’s Ellen Dent and Cesar Asebedo of Animal Alliance
Network. The Virsa Foundation’s Nivi Jaswal joins us to report on the
COVID-19 devastation she has seen with her own eyes during a recent trip to
India. Check it out!
The Urgent Needs for Mainstream News Coverage
I think we can all agree that this pandemic has felt never-ending. However,
we must do more than take protective measures now. We need to start taking
immediate action to prevent the next pandemic. “We’re not talking about the
root cause, which is the use, abuse, and consumption of animals which
creates over 75% of all pandemics,” explains Ray Ippolito. The National
Institutes of Health says it flat out, although in small print not many get
around to reading. “Nearly 75% of all emerging infectious diseases (EIDs)
that impact or threaten human health are zoonotic. The majority have spilled
from wildlife reservoirs, either directly to humans or via domestic animals.
The emergence of many can be attributed to predisposing factors such as
global travel, trade, agricultural expansion, deforestation/habitat
fragmentation, and urbanization; such factors increase the interface and/or
the rate of contact between human, domestic animal, and wildlife
populations, thereby creating increased opportunities for spillover events
to occur.”
The Most Obvious Explanation for COVID-19 is the Story Not Being
Discussed
COVID-19 was first detected in China in connection with a Wuhan wet market
where animals, both domestic and wild, are sold and where blood, feces, and
body parts abound. Conspiracy theories aside, the likelihood is that it went
from bats to humans through an intermediary species, like pangolins, sold in
wet markets. While scientists can’t attest to the origin with 100%
certainty, that’s like saying we could never convict anyone of murder
without the murder being caught on videotape. Logic, history, and deductive
reasoning, all point to the wet market origin. This is likely why the World
Health Organization recently urged all wet slaughter markets to stop selling
wild animals, a crucial story also overlooked by much of mainstream news
media. This report, from CBS, is a noteworthy exception.
Legislative proposals in both New York and Los Angeles, which target wet
slaughter markets, have been largely ignored by mainstream media. The rare
reports that do exist tend to vilify the proposals. Few are aware that there
are at least 80 retail slaughter markets in New York City alone!
Eating Animals Causes Pandemics
Zoonotic diseases are diseases that jump from animals to humans. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has put out statistics that are
shocking and should be making headlines daily. The bullet points below are
directly from the CDC.
So, why aren't we racing to prevent the next pandemic?
Is it because powerful forces are making $$$$$$ by exploiting animals?
“This is not secret information. The United Nations issued a report back
in 2019 explaining that future pandemics are coming, and they’re expected to
take out 10 million humans by 2050.” says Shannon Blair, a Florida animal
activist who participated in the global demonstrations. While it’s not a
secret, the news media is keeping this crucial information from the people
who don’t read research papers, namely, the general public, which relies on
the news media for information and to make decisions about what to buy and
what to eat!
SARS, Mad Cow Disease, Avian/Bird Flu, Swine Flu, HIV, MERS, Smallpox,
Measles, and Ebola are a handful of zoonotic illnesses listed on

Don't we want to avoid the next pandemic?
There’s no telling when the next pandemic will strike. But the first step in
preventing it is getting real about what causes them in the first place.
“2020’s COVID-19: a dress rehearsal for even more devastating future
pandemics. This is a call to change our food system before it is too late.”

We need mainstream media to publicly make the connection so the public can
advocate for real, systemic change.
