INFECTION FEARS Woman who stopped to help after lab monkeys escaped from truck crash FALLS ILL sparking outbreak fears
The Sun UK ^

Posted on 01/25/2022 8:43:58 AM PST by BenLurkin

AN escape of lab monkeys on a Pennsylvania highway has sparked fears of a virus outbreak after a woman who came into contact with them later fell ill.

Michelle Fallon stopped to help after a truck carrying 100 cynomolgus macaques crashed on Interstate 80, spilling animal crates across the tarmac.

State troopers said four of the primates were on the loose and warned the public not to try to catch them on Friday evening.

They have all since been accounted for.

Now it has emerged a passerby who was at the scene is being treated for symptoms of an unknown illness.

Michelle, of nearby Danville, was driving behind the truck when it crashed on the way to a research facility.

She got out to help the driver with the smashed crates, initially believing they were transporting cats.

When she put her hand on a cage, one of the three monkeys inside hissed at her but she was not bitten or scratched.

She said she also stepped in animal feces amid the chaos as four monkeys ran away into woodland.

The next day she developed Covid-like symptoms including a cough and pink eye.

Doctors gave her the first of four rabies injections together with an anti-viral drug.

She said on Facebook she was contacted by the CDC and is being monitored for symptoms of rabies and monkey herpes virus B.

They already shot 30 grand worth. 20 grand (2) are still missing.

This is the first I have heard that 2 monkeys are still missing. I thought it was said that they caught and shot them all.

Don’t forget the two cases of monkey pox that were diagnosed about 8 weeks ago in Maryland. The story is the person(s) had traveled to Africa. I’m sure it’s just coincidence that Ft. Detrick is there and these people get a rare monkey disease.

Is it only me who thinks it’s breathtakingly stupid to stick your fingers into a crate where a traumatized animal that you can’t see is confined, whether you think they are cats or not?

“ALL SHE DID WAS STICK HER FINGER IN THE CAGE”

Even creepier: She put her hand ON the cage — didn’t stick her finger in. The monkey hissed at her. There was no actual contact between her and monkey (according to the report I read).

Being infected from just a hiss would make it airborne and that’s nothing to sneeze at (no pun intended).

When I heard here we’re two still missing, was late last night. Maybe it was just the 3, I have not heard anymore about searching for monkeys.

“no DOT Hazmat placards, which are required for shipping ANY hazardous material on US highways.”

It’s the government. They don’t need to follow no stinkin’ laws.

"ALL SHE DID WAS STICK HER FINGER IN THE CAGE AND NOW SHE HAS SYMPTOMS AND IS BEING MONITORED BY THE CDC ??????!!!!!">

According to the article, one of the monkeys "hissed" at her.

We can get all sorts of infections via our eyes (viral, bacterial, fungal). Certainly, a possibility in this case.

On a related note, something I've been mentioning since the early days of the scamdemic/plandemic. If the "health officials" really were serious...and were really that concerned about covid, there would have been a goggle or eye protection mandate as well. [1][2]
That there wasn't, was (one of) a giant red flag that they really weren't that worried about the disease and were really more concerned with creating unwarranted fear for control purposes.
The cloth mask/bandana is ok "mandate" was always an absurdity if this thing was the great public health threat they promoted 24/7.
Especially since so many of them were seen in public over the many months, sans face decoration.

THEY NEED TO FESS UP ABOUT WHAT THOSE MONKEYS WERE INFECTED WITH."

Yes, they need to be made to answer for what happened in this case. No doubt Tucker will talk about this and hopefully put pressure on some in the Senate to get some answers.

The report I read is that she said she put her hand ON a cage — didn’t stick a finger in. The monkey hissed at her. It was the the goo from the hiss that got her. (Maybe there’s a different report that I didn’t see.)

search for "cynomolgus macaques" revealed this. COVID-19 cynomolgus macaque model reflecting human COVID-19 pathological conditions Emiko Urano et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2021.

Now search for SARS+labs+cynomolgus+macaques.

...and find a wealth of NIH and others in role of macaque monkeys in COVid testing....wonder what the real facts of this unmarked delivery are...where's the copy of the shipping manifest with warnings on care and possible hazards of human contact. Show us the Customs documentation and animal health certificates of this secret shipment.

We know monkeys like to fling turds at people, an affinity they share with Fauchi, NIH, CDC, and WHO.

“monkey herpes virus B” or rabies. Which is it?

Hopefully not Capt. Trips.

I remember at the beginning of covid that they were saying it was easy to catch through mucous membranes - the nose, mouth and eyes. Then - nothing. And certainly no insistence on goggles

Search for “Lab Monkeys Truck Crash” click on images

Lars Larson, conservative radio host, will be talking about this on his 4:00 PDT show today.

I think the fit might hit the shan on this one.

Yup. Their "concern" was all a fraud. Their actions proved it.

IMV, covid was accidentally leaked from the wuhan lab due to carelessness / bribes / substandard chinese safety protocols.

Then, once it spread here, the powers that be saw it as a gift. The one thing they could use to finally be able to oust Trump with. The Chinese hate him, the deep state/bureaucracy here hates him, and here was their chance after 4+ years of ongoing coup attempts.

Once he was fraudulently removed, they couldn't believe just how much power the public at large had handed over to them, how much liberty people were willing to give up due to the 24/7 scare tactics (based on little to no science).

Now, the corrupt politicians/officials aren't going to give up their new "emergency" powers without a fight.
