Covid and the industrial meat economy

Post by Herdmentality905 »

The Corona virus pandemic came from the industrial meat economy. It began when McDonald’s opened its first store on mainland China in 1990. Financial interests looked to capitalize on new growing meat markets, as Chinese people ate more meat.

Meat availability worldwide was more limited then, until financial capitalists thought to raise livestock in the Amazon basin. This is a terrible place to raise large livestock farms. Generally more infections by all types of new pathogens being exposed to farm animals, who previously had never been raised there. The meat industry has been doing extensive farming in that region, for three decades. It’s time to stop!

The virus we have already been told, can be transmitted from rendered animal tissue to human contact. The virus as it turns out, does very well using the meat industry distribution chain as a transmission medium. The meat industry knows this! The financial industry knows this! They must be stopped! Eating meat is the new smoking!!!!

This forum is intended for serious discussion, and you don't appear serious.

Why do you not find my well founded arguments serious? Theories can only be proven with multiplicity. I was hoping to find solace in a vegetarian discussion group who knows vegetarianism is the only path forward. I was also hoping to warn people in the UK who import a lot of this meat, that this could be a thing. You’re welcome!

More facts:

If one is to assume that China is not truthful about their death counts. This can be safely assumed about Russia as well. If you were to put China at the top, with U S second and Russia actually third. This is the order of exported meat from Brazil to the global markets.

More facts:

African American contract and die from covid in much higher rates. This is because they are more likely to buy cheap fast food meat, that exclusively used the lower grade meat!

The UK is fifth in order of countries, who import beef from Brazil. Brazil has been having a bit of a bump, because their exports made it to their own markets, because of Covid shutdown. Now they are having problems. Follow the beef from the Amazon and you will solve the riddle of the virus!!!!

The FDA is way too corrupt to actually do anything here. Anything comparable in England to check your Brazilian beef imports? Better get someone on it!!!

I think that it's possible some things you're saying hold some truth, but I thought the consensus among officials was that coronavirus originated in a meat market in Wuhan province of China. Are you saying that it didn't or are you saying that coronavirus ended up infecting cattle from Brazil once it got there? Afaik the experts have said you can't get Covid from the act of eating something with it inside, that it's transmitted through inhilation. Though my knowledge there may he outdated. But that would seem to go against what you're claiming, unless you mean people are handling the meat poorly and breathing in the virus from presumably not well cooked meat?

Some stuff that's interesting that you say which I think does hold some truth is what you've said that correlates with what a political TV show host had said about the animal agriculture industries in Brazil and meat processing places in the US too. That show/host is Patriot Act/Hasan Minhaj, and the episode he did on Brazil a while ago and the recent "How Coronavirus Broke America" episodes go into these correlating points you're making, though he doesn't make as bold claims as you've made, and I'm skeptical of how well he researches some things with his team, but I do find it interesting that he's mentioned how Covid has easily spread through US meat processing places due to close quarters and lax management, and how a lot of outbreaks in the US can be traced back to meat plant workers.

And it is apparent Brazil's government and its meat industry are deeply corrupt, so it wouldn't surprise me that they aren't taking reasonable precautions, but I'm still doubtful of your claim that people are getting directly sick from beef from Brazil, if I'm reading you correctly.
