There is no shred of evidence contagion has ever occurred or been possible.

Pushing Germ ‘Theory’ or Climate Emergency at this stage is irresponsible and unaware.

Tim, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your perspective.

My primary focus is advocating for humane animal welfare, especially in the context of factory farming, believing that improving the conditions for animals is crucial not only for their well-being but also public health. My aim is to highlight the importance of humane and sustainable farming practices as a solution to these pressing issues.

Thank you again for your feedback. It’s through open dialogue that we can all learn and grow.

It has nothing at all to do with public health.

Please look after the animals. But by pretending they affect public health you sign the death warrants of millions of birds, cattle, badgers and so many species

To protect them…

FIRST - fight the contagion myth.

Tim, I included Dr. Peter McCullough's interview video in the article which makes your very points. Also, my article does not advocate for the euthanasia of factory farm animals, but for their improved welfare. With respect to the connection to public health, I've been privy to slaughterhouse tours under the tutelage of a Federal Meat Inspector who was able to point out to me the public health risks allowed to pass federal inspections, ie, works, parasites, etc. The factory farm industry in a ticking time public health time bomb even taking germ theory and pandemics off the table. We can and must do better.

I applaud all efforts to improve the lot of animals. I am actually a vegetarian.

But I know of no evidence that ‘parasites’ attack healthy tissue.

factory farms are frightenedly cruel, but they have nothing to do with pandemics. There has never been a pandemic. The Spanish Flu was a reaction to an Amy experimental vaccine in ....1917. Bubonic plague was because Catholic priests ordered the killing of all cats because they were the devil. The CDC is a criminal organization with the blood of billions on their hands.

Gene, my research largely aligns with your findings. In fact, that is why I included the Dr. Peter McCullough interview at the end of the article for contrary evidence. Did you get to watch it?

Ed, owner/operator of WORKS FARM, USDA 1957 and declared regenerative organic agriculture over 20yrs. We know sustainable agriculture is the key to solving many of the World's gnawing problems. We are less optimistic about a global transition anytime soon. Can we do it? Yes! Will we do it?

Meanwhile, outreach is an option, and is part of WORKS farming operation, and makes its way into my own writing. All are welcomed. And thank You.

David, thank you for your thoughtful note and for sharing your insights on sustainable agriculture. It's inspiring to hear about the work you’ve been doing at WORKS FARM for over two decades. Your commitment to regenerative organic agriculture is a testament to the positive impact that sustainable practices can have on our world.

I agree that while a global transition to sustainable agriculture is challenging, it is still possible with continued effort and outreach. Your dedication to this cause and your willingness to share your knowledge through your writing and farming operations are invaluable contributions to this movement.

Thank you for welcoming all to learn from your experiences. Together, through collaboration and education, I pray we can make significant strides towards a more sustainable future.

Like yourself, Ed, it is simple work for the good of all. It's that spirit we can all of us sow to harvest the benefits of a healthy world.

There is nothing good in factory farming, neither for the non-human animals who are mistreated and slaughtered during their shortened life nor for us human animals who eat the flesh afterwards.

A lot of our modern diseases and illnesses are a direct result of the Animal Agriculture Industry. If you can, eat less meat.

I once had a friend who was a Federal Meat Inspector. He took me on a tour of a slaughter house. He told me that if I knew what he knew, I would never eat meat again. He didn't have to tell me anything else. I was convinced.

Wow. That would be a tough tour; sort of like visiting a chamber of horrors.
