Does trying to live healthy make sense considering an imminent bird flu outbreak?
August 15, 2021 at 10:51 am
So, what do you guys think, does eating a healthy diet and exercising make sense considering there will likely soon be a bird flu pandemic? Recently there has been an outbreak of bird flu in Bosnia, but, thankfully, it did not turn into a global pandemic. Will not healthy diet and exercising backfire once the bird flu outbreaks, since bird flu kills people mostly by turning their immune system against them and people who have a weaker immune system have a higher chance of surviving bird flu?
Avoiding eating wild fowl so that the bird flu pandemic does not start with you makes sense, however, the vast majority of people are not eating wild fowl anyway. If I understand it correctly, vegan diet, while it protects against COVID, would put individuals who follow it into a greater danger of dying during a bird flu pandemic.

So, since you understand it better, can you explain it?

What on earth gave you the crazy notion that a vegan diet protects against covid? That is one of the dumbest ideas I have seen wandering the intertubes and webernets.

A new way to spread your COVID ignorance. How charming.

Vegan diet boosts your immune system and provides some protection against type-2-diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer. Whether you have type-2-diabetes is the best predictor of whether you will die from COVID-19.

Nope. Vegan diet does nothing of the sort. Whoever is feeding this crap to you needs a good slapping.

Citations needed. What clinical studies are you referencing?
