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.

What in the hay are they doing transporting infected monkeys? These monkeys are 10 grand a piece. They already shot 30 grand worth. 20 grand (2) are still missing. And they are infected? This is why governments can not be trusted with gain of function experiments.

Rabies? What insane person would transport rabies infected animals?

What did they do to these monkeys, and how are they really infected?

Trust in the US government is long gone.

“so was this a planned crash and FF release,”

Lot easier, more hidden and less suspicious ways to get the virus out than to stage an accident that easily leads back to the labs.

Cowgirl of Justice :" THEY NEED TO FESS UP ABOUT WHAT THOSE MONKEYS WERE INFECTED WITH."

Exactly true !
The CDC now requires all foreign visitors to demonstrate that they are fully vaccinated, including "boosters", for virus,
why not treat the monkeys at the source, rather than risk the health of the populace.
Also, not mentioned is where the CDC is transporting the moneys to which CDC location.

Tilted Irish Kilt :" Also, not mentioned is where the CDC is transporting the moneys to which CDC location. "

And transported for what purpose ?
Isn't this the possibly a similar way that the bat virus (Coronavirus) got loose in China (?)
and later infected the world ?

Looks like an unmarked trailer with no DOT Hazmat placards, which are required for shipping ANY hazardous material on US highways. More “bending” of our laws and regulations that will be explained-away to support someone's agenda.

I used to work at the NIH in Bethesda. One of the maintenance mechanics was in the monkey area and one threw feces in his face. He got sick and died.

Another story said they were being driven to a quarantine facility after being imported. The first rule of monkey quarantine is do not let the monkeys escape from quarantine.

Make note to self. Leave the monkeys be.

Don't spank them.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.

So a woman stepped in monkey poo and is now getting rabies shots? In the absence of other information that’s a little alarming. Fortunately we have the CDC to keep us fully informed as always...
