Quotes by Jonathan Kennedy  (?)

“Pathogens thrive on inequality and injustice.”
Jonathan Kennedy, Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues

“There is one universally incorrect choice: do nothing. This didn't work when humans thought that plagues were a punishment sent by angry gods. Nor does a laissez-faire approach help stop disease when it is a deliberate policy choice.”
Jonathan Kennedy, Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues

“it has been estimated that viruses account for 30 percent of all genetic mutations since our species’ divergence from chimpanzees.[25]”
Jonathan Kennedy, Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues
