Sorry, Angelo, but you appear not to know what you are talking about. It cannot be denied that pandemics are, for the most part, linked to our eating animals. See, e.g., https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2020/sep/15/covid-farm-animals-and-pandemics-diseases-that-changed-the-world

It is also the case that going vegan is the most significant way of reducing our impact on the earth. See, e.g., https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding-meat-and-dairy-is-single-biggest-way-to-reduce-your-impact-on-earth

We need to significantly reduce our consumption of animal products if we want to avoid climate catastrophe. See, e.g., https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/10/huge-reduction-in-meat-eating-essential-to-avoid-climate-breakdown

Given that we will not get everyone to do this, it is obligatory on those who do care to reduce by 100%. See also https://blog.usejournal.com/twelve-years-7b9480883714

Going vegan might not solve all problems but given the options, it is folly to not see it as making a significant contribution to human health, ecological preservation, and the reduction of violence.
