Hantavirus outbreak on ship; discussion

here is a good summary of the events....it's nuts

Drawing an analogy between health and audio, this guy plays the role of GR research / Danny and I guess the WHO would be more like Harman, or something.

Like he's selling supplements and crap all over the front page, it's not subtle.

To buy into this type of narrative, you have to believe everyone who does this stuff for a living is lying except for a few cranks on YouTube who also TOTALLY COINCIDENTALLY happen to sell questionable supplements.

The important parts are the lying, the supplements, and getting confused about who is lying. It's exactly like the exotic cables and fancy capacitors.

That's Peter A. McCullough, one of the most published and cited people in medicine...

Yep, but publishing your own “Ladybird guidebook to vaccination damage” is not science, he’s as nuts as his website and needs his internet connection revoked for the good of genuine scientific rigour
 
yes, from the wiki...sadly, everything he's said was true...

Peter Andrew McCullough (/məˈkʌlə/[1]) (born December 29, 1962) is an American former cardiologist.[2] He was vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and a professor at Texas A&M University.[3] From the beginnings of the COVID-19 pandemic, McCullough has promoted misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID-19, its treatments, and mRNA vaccines.[4][5][6]

In October 2022, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) recommended that McCullough's board certifications be revoked due to his promotion of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines,[7][8] and by January 2025, the ABIM had revoked both of his certifications.[9][10]
 
Nothing about a cruise particularly appeals in the first place, but Legionnaire's disease outbreaks made that a definite no years ago, let alone the various other issues these things have....
 
1 No one seems to be arguing that his description of the topic at hand is not correct
2 the fact that he refused to bend the knee during covid, give me more respect for his opinion

... and, more recently, norovirus. :cool:

Yup, I concur, FWIW. Paying money to be incubated strikes me as a poor value judgment -- but maybe that's just me. ;)
 
Despite all my experience in viral diseases, I learned to be very cautious about any new virus. These buggers have a way to figure out how to survive over time, and the random mutations can be quite sneaky.

Despite this, I prefer to observe and say nothing on Hanta, as every little bug has its own way. I do read carefully though.

Sorry for the digression.
I digressed, too.
And I agree...
How many self-called media "experts" are reasoning as if they were the virus ?
The old sentence "Put yourself in their place" (i.e. what would you do ?)
 
There was SARS; there was Covid-19; then Hantavirus; then another Ebola outbreak (Bundibugyo). And now a continuation of an old infestation: the Screwworm Fly.

It was once "eradicated" during the 1960s. In recent years, it has spread in Central America and Mexico. Now it has reached into Texas.

It is not the adult fly itself that is eating mammalian flesh while the mammal is alive. It is the larvae. First you watch a video that tells you that this is affecting cattle with wounds such as insect bites, wherein the adult female fly can lay eggs. Another video tells you the larvae can infest all mammals. The next video tells you that humans can be infested too! But if caught early enough, can be treated and can recover. We are being assured by the USDA that the Texas detection does not imply any threat to food safety.

The USDA is on the case, while the Director blames the previous administration for causing the problem. The USDA is ramping up the production of sterile male flies that will mate with the female flies of the new outbreak. Meanwhile, a Texas Ag commissioner who has been through the previous cycle, says that the sterile flies alone will not solve the problem. It was previously solved by the USDA with a combination of poisoned fly bait and sterile male flies.

All of the following YT videos are each approximately five minutes long.
