NASA climate scientists said the warmer conditions are causing part of the region’s permafrost, a frozen layer of soil that is beneath that surface, to thaw. One-fifth of the Northern Hemisphere is covered by permafrost.
Scientists said if the permafrost thaws significantly, some viruses described as “zombie viruses” that have been lying dormant for thousands of years could emerge and possibly endanger animals and humans.
While scientists are hopeful that antibiotics would be able to fight ancient bacterial illnesses, they are concerned about what would happen if viruses were to spread.
NASA said efforts should be made to stop the thaw by addressing overall climate concerns.

Well the article does say they only studied the ones that effect amoeba and not humans or animals, but how reliable is that statement?
And I believe they call it zombie because it has been dormant for so long, so it's like it's back from the dead. not because it creates zombies.

spread. I guess there weren't enough of us that took their overnight vaccine so they're going to try to scare us with zombies. Is this really the point this country/world has reached?

Guess you also don't understand the "zombie" thing either.

You are way off topic.
If you read the OP you will see that they do exist but I suspect that you are not understanding the "Zombie" bit.

Ahem. They are called zombie viruses because they have been brought back from the dead, not because they turn folk into zombies.
You are engaging in promoting a false narrative and denialism of science.
My "argument", which it isn't, is in no way "disingenuos".
My point was, try reading the OPs source and comprehending it rather than trying to fit it into your own belief system and agenda by twisting it out of shape.
