What Will The Next Epidemic Be? 101 Dead In Yellow Fever Outbreak In Brazil
International Business Times ^ | 09 March 2017 | Janice Williams

Doctors are worried Brazil’s yellow fever outbreak could be as devastating an epidemic as the Zika virus, the New England Journal of Medicine reported. More than 100 people have already died from the virus, which is spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Initially, doctors weren’t concerned the few instances of yellow fever would turn into an outbreak because the majority of the cases, which were first reported in December, were among people living away from heavily populated urban cities and closer to Brazil’s jungles. However, the number of people contracting the virus is rising sharply, the report said.

Brazil seems to be poised to spill over into total anarchy and chaos.

Especially in the north of the country.

There’s a vaccine for yellow fever.

In America and Australia we are already in ‘the next big epidemic’ ... Lyme spirochetes. Sadly, since the CIA is probably the source of this epidemic, working for the globalist who desire a catastrophic population reduction, We The People are not allowed to have the Truth.

America’s Wetlands

Wetlands are areas where water covers soil all or part of the time. Wetlands are important because they protect and improve water quality, provide fish and wildlife habitats, store floodwaters and maintain surface water flow during dry periods.

It’s surprising how much mosquito-borne illnesses have increased despite our best efforts to preserve and expand their breeding grounds. Why is that?

Consider all of the global migrations and people living in horrific conditions because of war, natural disasters, really unsanitary and unhealthy living conditions. The miracle is that some disease hasn't already burst out beyond what could be contained.

"Anything that can happen, given enough time and opportunity, will happen". At some point, something unexpected and untreatable will pass the tipping point.

Sorry....I'm Debbie Downer about this.

.
If you have been bitten by a lyme bearing tick, I have some good news for you.

An ordinary “Hulda Clark” Zapper, used regularly for long periods will kill all of the spirochetes, usually within about a week if caught early.

Start by “zapping” right on the bite until it disappears, since the red halo is where the mass of invaders are. Afterward, just hold the handles in your palms or the bottoms of your feet for about 5 10 minute sessions per day.

The next big epidemic will be whatever the media wants it to be. And they will also figure out a way to blame it on conservatives.

Yes, I have had it (for travel).
It’s extremely painful. I was sick for a week and felt like I’d been beaten with a 2x4.

But I’d rather have it than not if travelling to some parts of the world.

My mother got it before she went to Hong Kong in the mid-70s. She was sick after the shot, too ... but did not contract yellow fever.

Zika seems to have been “devastating” in the media but not so much on the ground.

I’ve always wondered why a new disease pops up in New England, then suddenly it is in Oregon or Texas. How did the diseased tick get from New England to Oregon or Texas so fast?

Or was the disease already here but no one noticed.

“...Lyme spirochetes. Sadly, since the CIA is probably the source of this epidemic, “

“An ordinary “Hulda Clark” Zapper, used regularly for long periods will kill all of the spirochetes, usually within about a week if caught early.”

That’s quite a bit of magical thinking you two have got going there.

Or maybe you started your weekend drinking early.
