evidence_1: others argue that a range of anthropogenic environmental degradations have played a vital role in the emergence of sars- cov-2 and other zoonoses.", "in this opinion piece, i argue that these divergent viewpoints stem, in part, from different foundational conceptual frameworks  biomedical individualist and eco-social frameworks, respectively.", "based on the fact that the eco-social framework provides a more complete account of the different types of causal factors underpinning the emergence of zoonoses, i propose that the covid-19 pandemic provides an additional reason for the health sciences to ground its theory of health and disease in an eco-social conceptual framework."
