I didn't read it but I assume the argument is that deforestation did. There's a good argument for this, in fact virologists were warning about the risk of a pandemic before covid because of deforestation. (Good thing we stopped that lol).
The evil part is the only deforestation Reuters seems to care about is forest cut for high quality public transit - i.e. the type least likely to let humans mix readily with disease vectors.
I would tend to agree, but they actually did post this only three days ago. A whole special about a pretty scary disease jumping from bats to pigs to humans and evolving to more easily infect humans because of deforestation and animal agriculture.

Cool thanks for sharing. Yeah I guess I was sloppy with my language, I should have specified this article, not Reuters in general
