The very real threat of a man-made pandemic apocalypse in the future (and how we can prevent it)

Sam Harris Making Sense Podcast, Released on 4/23/21

Released: April 23, 2021

In this nearly 4-hour SPECIAL EPISODE, @Rob_Reid delivers a 100-minute monologue (broken up into 4 segments, and interleaved with discussions with Sam) about the looming danger of a man-made pandemic, caused by an artificially-modified pathogen. The risk of this occurring is far higher and nearer-term than almost anyone realizes. Rob explains the science and motivations that could produce such a catastrophe and explores the steps that society must start taking today to prevent it. These measures are concrete, affordable, and scientifically fascinating—and almost all of them are applicable to future, natural pandemics as well. So if we take most of them, the odds of a future Covid-like outbreak would plummet—a priceless collateral benefit.
