The big point of that is that its not inevitable and that what is required is better vaccine coverage into poor countries. This is a rare moment where corp interests do align there, so there is hope in this regard. obligatory lmao this will never happen though

Yeah companies like Pfizer would lobby/ bribe to make sure development countries couldn't produce it at low cost. And until you get herd immunity in development nations the light speed mutation rate will continue. So pretty much rich countries are screwing themselves in the long run.

There's been a lot of worry about it being able to cross species because it is insanely hardy it's been here in wisconsin for decades, even with the state encouraging hunters to cull affected deer and a lot of hunters coming from out of state to join the hunting season we still haven't managed to eliminate it. the three big areas it affects in the USA are wisconsin, the rockies, and northern appalachia https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/index.html quote:The CWD prion has been shown to experimentally infect squirrel monkeys, and also laboratory mice that carry some human genes. An additional study begun in 2009 by Canadian and German scientists, which has not yet been published in the scientific literature, is evaluating whether CWD can be transmitted to macaques—a type of monkey that is genetically closer to people than any other animal that has been infected with CWD previously. On July 10, 2017, the scientists presented a summary of the study’s progress. in which they showed that CWD was transmitted to monkeys that were fed infected meat (muscle tissue) or brain tissue from CWD-infected deer and elk. Some of the meat came from asymptomatic deer that had CWD (i.e., deer that appeared healthy and had not begun to show signs of the illness yet). Meat from these asymptomatic deer was also able to infect the monkeys with CWD. CWD was also able to spread to macaques that had the infectious material placed directly into their brains.

Not a prion disease according to people who have been researching it since 2015, but not good because they still haven't figured it out after five years: https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/researcher-says-brain-disorder-in-n-b-may-be-linked-to-environmental-exposure-1.5363850 quote:"What we can say with confidence is if we assume that the cluster has a single cause, that cause is not prion disease," he said in an interview earlier this week. "It has been ruled out in enough people that we are no longer considering this to be a top candidate."

It behaves almost exactly like a rapid fire lyme disease but is specifically not caused by the same bacteria. In fact, they're not sure what causes it.

My point was the sliver of hope is that corps want their workers not sick with covid because its a pain tin the rear end and interrupts productivity, so they may help support vaccination efforts in those countries because that's where the raw materials and low cost labor is. Yes i understand that this is a longshot, but no one is happy with covid loving up supply chains all the time

i ran across some hunters while backpacking in Colorado during the fall of 2017 they were terrified of getting CWD and were convinced that any day it would infect some poor hunter and the media wouldn’t care about them, then the disease would spread they had an Alex Jones feel to them
