Coronavirus, African Swine Fever, Bovine Leukemia Virus, Avian Leukemia Virus are all uncontrollable phenomena. More than 300 million farm animals in the EU spend their entire life in a cage. The coronavirus pandemic and the worldwide lock down has shown how fragile society really is. Is a pig who suffocates chokingly dead less important than a human who dies chokingly. It is not an animal activist who speaks here, but a doctor who is looking for a solution. Meat and dairy consumption continue to rise worldwide, wiping away wildlands, bringing us into contact with potentially dangerous viruses. The world is turned upside down and our knowledge and insights are increasing rapidly.
Annual vaccination of vulnerable groups against Influenza Avian to protect against viruses from the poultry industry and also a vaccination against annually changing Coronavirus strains to protect against viruses from the meat industry is not sufficient. More will have to be done, for example the production of cultured meat, the better solution for climate change and emerging pandemics.
