    Banning animal agriculture is the only way to prevent this. Animal exploitation is why we get most zoonotic pandemics, and continuing to allow to to happen will result in more suffering for everyone else.

      Or at the very least we could accept lower yields and stop feeding animals so many antibiotics that they make up the majority of all use. Less overcrowding, less diesease and less antibiotic resistance.
