He specifies that such a measure would only be valid for a high-virulence pathogen jumping from animals to humans. However, he emphasizes that no current national or international government can be trusted with such power.

The segment argues that stressed bats are more likely to shed viruses that infect humans. The hosts view this as a revival of "bat propaganda" intended to steer public opinion away from the laboratory leak theory.
