CRISPR - its so dangerous we shouldn't even use it at all - if there's only a 1 in a trillion chance it could creates adangerous infectious cancer in humans like is killing Tasmanian Devils we must stop. X-rays - they're mutagenic -same problem - stop please. Cell phones put out radiation as well - next thing you know an infectious brain cancer -do you want this happening to you? NO more cell phones please. And Zoos - please shut them all down - leave those animals out in the wild. They next deadly virus might come from a zoo or botanical garden - Eddie Holmes says there are bats in gardens - yes bats! if there's only a 1 in a trillion chance we must shut down zoos. They are evil anyway - shut then down. Cats - dogs, ferrets all susceptible to deadly coronaviruses - no more pets please! And meat - did you know that domestic animals can get infected with bat viruses? Please no more meat - EVER. Did you know that fields where they grow rice, corn and wheat are literally teaming with animals, mice, bird etc. People are lierally going into those fields - Stop that - no plant products to eat either. It just makes sense. Fish - let's eat fish- wait Eddie says there are viruses in fish too- arenaviruses, filoviruses - please we MUST stop all the madness - nocontact with animals ever - where is the UN on this? We need a commission!
