Expert: Food Shortages Could Be ‘Just as Deadly’ as Diseases, Next Global Threat

Penny Starr 10 Jun 2022

The world has been focused for more than two years on the coronavirus epidemic, but one health expert says people should be aware that the threat of food shortages around the globe could be “just as deadly.”

Peter Sands, executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, warned against governments only focusing on one virus.

Sands said food shortages could become the next global health crisis and world leaders should prepare for it.

“It’s not as well-defined as some brand new pathogen appearing with distinctive new symptoms. But it could well be just as deadly,” Sands said in a Reuters report.

The New York Post reported:

    Sands, who works in areas already struggling with poverty and malnutrition, says wealthy governments risk making the “classic” mistake of concerning themselves only with crises that reflect the most recent disaster the world has faced.

    Australia is already beginning to see early signs of food stress as lettuce prices hit an incredible $12 per head in some areas following the flood season. Natural disasters, coupled with inflation and complications in the global trade industry, could produce a perfect storm as the globe begins to find its feet.

    While it is unclear just how devastating accelerated food shortages could be to a first-world country like Australia, health experts have urged leaders to stay vigilant.

Well, perhaps the gov't figures that they didn't control the populace as much as they were hoping with COVID.  Starvation will certainly control the masses and/or bring about complete mayhem.

Experts might be good eating.

They'll bring down the world population one way or the other, whether they have to starve people to death or just shut off electricity, so that they have no heat or A/C. One way or the other.

Gee, and their plans on how to feed the millions that are entering the U.S.????
