It's in human nature that we are self-driven, the majority of population will not care about others interest unless incentivized to do so. Thats why most global issues are not resolved, most people just don't care enough.
Being vegan tho. Why not mention this amazing option, John? No down side at all. You'll live longer and healthier; impacts on our planet, as well as climate change, would improve immediately, the animals will stop being bred into existence only to be slaughtered for no reason, and kids will learn real empathy and compassion (all kids love animals).
Lol. Trypophobia warning anyone?
Yay! Available in Canada now! Now I can be depressed again!
@20:04; So what you're saying is the virus is now a zoomotic virus?
Humans. Parasite. Sigh.
@9:58; But importantly, they should avoid doing such with ticks.
as an introvert whos routine didn't change from all of covids restrictions, im doing my part.
How's this not a conspiracy?? I guess whatever this guy says it's ok.

Thank you Last Week Tonight for your great researchers and writers, thank you John Oliver for sticking with this format, thank you all...for existing.
The warning was missed in the late 1960s for a virus that would kill 35 million people and continue killing today. The French researchers in bio-chemistry discovered it the late 1970s when people from all walks of life were dying for no apparent reason. The west did the same thing then, as was done with Covid-19, it was ignored. I suppose u had to blame China several times to stay on the air
I think the worst outbreak is the Baby Shark one.
Fine by me. Less people on the planet. Hopefully kills off more flat earthers gop and conservatives oh and religious people. Don’t forget those
Maybe the best thing we humans can do is to stop building further and further out into the countryside, and instead live in cities. Also, maybe we should do something about population growth, that way our cities don't continue growing forever.
Humans have a memory/stupid problem the only time I think we're going to take it seriously is when an apocalyptic type virus hits us leaving more than 3 billion dead
Poor Wander over Yonder. He's now a virus. Can Disney be any more evil?
Everybody is Chicken Little. The sky is not falling. Calm down ! These people just want to cause a panic. I don't really understand why, but that is what is happening
so john your saying we should kill all bats?
I said the same this time last year. Covid is mother nature giving us our just rewards for fucking with the place so badly. 2021 wake up idiots, we live on a corpse and we did the murder.
Farmers will not report sick animals. They are all afraid of getting blame or losing face. The reaction to this pandemic is more like they want to kill most of humanity.
"Draconian Measures won't help" is something to always keep in mind. Abstinence only classes lead to a rise in teenage pregnancies, prohibition basically created the first gangs and caused a massive spike in alcoholism etc. Innovation will lead to better solutions than simply prohibiting anything that could be slightly problematic.
Maybe we should also look at what we are consuming. Bats from the wild should not be consumed as food. Just like in Africa there is education programs to avoid eating bush meat (dead animals)which have been found to be infected by Ebola (why the animal dies). Another example are civet cats which were being consumed and was the link between bats and humans to cause SARS. Haha, was commenting before i got to end of video. Exactly what i mean, we have enough food, wild animals should not be eaten.
So much important information, so wonderfully presented in just 20 minutes.
Based on some of the comments, I think John's Adam Driver challenges have created a new form of poetry.
I haven't eaten an animal in four years, and never will again. It's time for us to embrace the future and leave animal agriculture behind, for the safety of ourselves and our planet.
Gain of function tests and then releasing it on an unsuspecting public and then lie about it for a year or two will spread it faster and deadlier than visiting any bat cave. Ask China. Frozen food was it? Said the WHO. Or Italy? CIA? Lying is not a joke or funny. Lying only corrupts you. Talk about environment destruction China mass killing reefs building islands. China fishing the worlds oceans empty. China polluting more than the rest of the world combined. The vegetables in China are toxic. It's why you never see Chinese produce. Why you should never eat any Chinese imported anything. But you want to guilt the rest of the world into paying for it in any way you can get them to.
Hahaha
Bring on the black cricket jell bars, clearly no one cares about eatting real food in the future.
"Favoring the ones that make us sick" Yea, other humans mostly.
White-footed mice, = Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world! sad, funny but true
Yea but if you get the correct drugs you tend not to work at all.
Very well researched and very informative. I am certainly sharing...
"More lethal than SARS" - No, COVID-19 isn't more lethal than SARS. SARS had a mortality rate estimated at 10% to 15%. COVID has about a 2% case fatality, and that is from John's Hopkins.
While that last bit about spreading via zoom is funny as hell... there will be a small percentage of people who actually believe that is possible... 🤦🏻♂️
maybe people just get sick IDK there's literally a pandemic every 2 years lol
do another video about Chitan John
*Watching Video from Salt Lake City* Hey!! Just because you’re not wrong don’t mean you should say it
The only solution to this and all other problems is Resourced Based Economy.
See how politicians around the world went the “world from before” to be back...we don’t want the same as before, we want intelligent change so that it doesn’t happen again
Ada- Another childish temper tantrum. READ MORE!
Veganism will help...
Been vegan for over 19 years 😁 I would support a ban on animal agriculture 😁
13:28 Was that like a personal attack or something?
It should be noted that factory farming has encouraged extensive use of antibiotics causing superbugs. Antibiotics don't always wipe out the intended bacteria, but select for hardier strains of that bacteria. Most antibiotics are broad spectrum, so they don't just target the offending bacteria but can wipe out other non-harmful or even helpful microbes in our bodies causing other problems. They also don't target other microbes like viruses, parasites, etc. Those require different medicine that again can select for hardier versions of the offending microbe.

The NEXT one??? This is a spicy take, glad ur keeping it disturbingly fresh!
1:55 - Oh gee, I wonder what happened in 1980 that led us to be less protected from viral outbreaks...
Tourism don’t kiss a bat or get shit on/ or eat fruit that a bat may have taken a bit of/ their saliva is like poison to humans.
For those who aren't doing the math, these kinds of pandemics are happening about once a century (and more frequently, now) So spending 30 billion a year only costs 3 trillion dollars to save 16 trillion once every hundred years. Yup, hella worth it.

Mr. Oliver is right. If this pandemic is over, we will back to business as usual instead of learning the lessons of pandemics. I guarantee that in the next 25 years, there will be another pandemic that will kill in epic proportions.
Lets all laugh at a humanity that never learns anything, tee hee hee.
So if we cut down on meat consumption...
There's no covid, morons. Stop the propaganda.
I'm glad that I watched this video. I was starting to think we were going to actually save ourselves. Nothing like remembering what humanity is actually like. Gee, people- thanks for not letting me down. We'll kill every last one of us yet. There's still time.
Please, dont eat racoons,
I hate that we need to change the entire fabric of society because what's been built is unsustainable but that the only people who have the power to do those changes would rather watch millions die to make a bit of extra cash money really is the cancer of humanity and its fucking disgusting

Science, facts, truth, research, smart decision making all diluted by politics and greed. Science doesn’t matter cause people are greedy.
They are changes @ the government level that needs to be done but can we do as individuals to prevent the next pandemic from happening ?
My dad died 2/13/21 from covid bc a coworker knowingly came to work with covid. His organs and limbs rapidly deteriorated in less than 2 months. He turned 55 December 22 and was healthy. Covid is frightening

As much as I hate to admit it, anything less that $160 Billion / yr is a benefit in cost for a pandemic for the US. Though I think even if we did spend $64 Billion / yr, we'd still manage a major pandemic every 100 years. I also have to agree Covid-19 as bad as it is, is not Major pandemic ala1918 Flu, Black Death, etc. as far as death rate vs infection rate.
Once again the real issue is Overpopulation...all of these things derives from having too many people and all of their needs. Keep mating like rabbits you sick fucks, you clearly need to produce an offspring with your own DNA, we need that, it's not like there are already plenty of unfortunate kids with no parents.
I say let the pandemics run rampant. Less people, more room for wildlife, more to go around! Everyone wins except the dead and the dead dont complain!

Lets all remember as well that after all said and done 1200 + 600 + lets say at this point 1200 is going to put america in a depression after all said and done. This amount is roughly what you pay in taxes alone over roughly on average 2.5 years. Yet the government is going to act like it took a huge loss and double or even triple down on taxes in the future citing being a savior of Americans when they were in need. Keep in mind these "handouts" were spread out over a full year just to let 2 old con men claimed they helped. Lets not mention that countries of origin knew of the infection and did nothing till it was news worthy. Also even when it was addressed people were so desensitized from being lied to from all sides, nobody and I mean fucking nobody believed it till their aunt Karen died of it. How can you be mad about anything when tons of things are upsetting? My suggestion is live like you will not get another chance. I can promise you that you will not.

wtf
I thought it was a sky puppy but goth mouse works too.
Really disappointed with this episode, John is pulling punches. Forget the possibility that covid may have actually come from a lab in Wuhan, the next pandemic is likely to come from a lab. Here in the united states alone, bio labs miss handle viruses on a weekly basis causing mini outbreaks that are thankfully contained but there’s a possibility that there will be one that isnt. Human error runs rampant in our high tech bio labs every year. Check the numbers on measles outbreaks and the correlation to bio labs here in the states.
Wow these jokes feel weird now
Remember when he was funny, oh wait he never was....
tbf the wet wildlife markets are just the tip of the iceberg. Can you imagine what the answer would be/is when Westerners go to South American or African countries all high and mighty to tell them they are "destroying the environment" and that they should stop "encroaching on natural wildlife territories" to prevent climate change and/or zoonose viruses jumping to humans? They'll freaking laugh us out of their country all the way to the airport. They would rightfully point to their current state of affairs and blame the West for it. How many times has the CIA couped and putsched in South America in the interest of resource extraction or simple price setting? Showing up to African countries after the shit we pulled during the colonialisation phase of Western expansion to dictate terms and rules to them after we pillaged their resources is nothing short of impossible. They're all rightfully miffed at the idea that all of a sudden the high and mighty West wants to dictate to them yet again how to do shit after we have kept doing exactly that for centuries in our own selfish interest. Like, when's it time for THEM to extract their own resources on their own terms? It's their jungle after all. How can we - who have largely deforested our own countries (at least in Europe) - show up to them and go "uuuuuh, sorry, but you shouldn't do that". How could they even start to control that, what with the economic state most of these countries are in? Hell, "the West" is still buying conflict minerals from bloody tyrants and dictators in Africa just to make smartphones, thereby supporting death squads, horrendous poverty of the working class, and other heinous practices. And we want to make an ethical argument to these people concerning viruses when most of the population there don't even have access to healthcare?
"especially in developing areas" - that's the enthusiastic viral human spirit right there ........ JOHHNY !!!! spot on
5:30 or eat it
