That's quite an interesting video. Surely GMOs have immunities implemented in them against these diseases, correct? Or at least a much lesser chance to get these diseases?
Damn Sam O'Nella really blew up huh? I think the first time I saw him was when he was posted on here about a year ago and he hardly had 10k, but now he's over 100.

And since we've got a bitchin' monoculture going on we're basically building an extremely technologically advanced potato famine in waiting. And it's not like it's not happened before. If memory serves, our modern bananas aren't actually what bananas used to be. We just had a monoculture of bananas that inevitably got wiped the hell out, and we had to sorta resurrect them with an "inferior" species mixed with the old one. This is why artificial banana flavor doesn't taste like bananas, or rather, it did, but we fucked those bananas and now the little styrofoam sticks we call fruit is all we have left. On a similar note, we're also doing something similar with anti-biotics. What we feed cows with is cheap, but also super unhealthy for them, so their immune system goes to shit. And to keep them from being super sick all the time we're just shoveling anti-biotics into them. But we only have a few anti-biotics, and we're doing this on a massive scale, all day every day. So in effect global dairy and meat industry is also a mechanism to biologically develop anti-biotic immune diseases, which may possibly jump to humans because we're really dumb.

Sam O'Nella is one of the better channels of youtube.
