According to Queen guitarist and armchair epidemiologist Brian May, the coronavirus outbreak should be blamed squarely on meat eaters.
“This pandemic seemed to come from people eating animals, and it’s becoming more well known that eating animals is not the greatest thing for our health,” the 72-year-old tells NME.
“We’ve seen more of the effects of how eating animals has brought us to our knees as a species,” he continues. “I think it’s time to re-examine our world in a way that doesn’t abuse other species.”
May, who recently converted to veganism in January, tells the music news site that he planned to be “a bit more preachy about veganism because to me it is the way forward.”
May isn’t the only aging rocker to criticize the world’s gustatory predilections. Earlier this week, Paul McCartney pointed his finger at China’s wet markets, whose loose regulatory measures had been blamed for the outbreak.
“They might as well be letting off atomic bombs because it’s affecting the whole world,” the former Beatle told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show. “Whoever is responsible for this is at war with the world and itself.”

Brian, just shut up and play!
‘”it’s becoming more well known that eating animals is not the greatest thing for our health,” the 72-year-old tells NME’
Wonder if he ever warned his buddy Freddy Mercury about how being a queer could impact his health...
Oh, I didn’t recognize the name so I thought it was somebody who worked for THE Queen.
Vegans are omniscient, just ask them anything.
I have to say that I agree with him so far as the Chinese wet markets go.
Hmm, I’m guessing he also got a new vegan girlfriend sometime recently before his conversion.
There is an obvious joke about the lead singer but I am not doing it.
LOL - I was tempted to do the same. GMTA!
So many nitwits...so little time.
But bad mistakes, he has probably made a few
He works pretty well under pressure, but I would have to ask him, "Who wants to live forever?
You take my body
I give you heat
You say youre hungry
I give you meat
And bad mistakes, he's made a few. This is one of them.
He’s the first guy I turn to for epidemiology insights. Well, that and quantum physics.
I don't even want to know what that involves!
An all-male group that calls itself Queen? They must be paragons of healthy behavior.
He’s obviously never heard of the Keto Diet.
Yep, bad meat in a can does it.
So was the rug laid out flat or rolled up? :)
Dr. Brian May is a smart man and shirley knows that eating chicken, beef or pork didn’t cause this pandemic.
Whatever Brian. Just play guitar dude.
