I assume that any tinkering with Crimea Congo Hemorrhagic Fever to make it more contagious
would be to make it into an aerosol, airborne droplets.
So far, that isn't known to have happened .. yet (!).
Interesting that this is a Hemorrhagic Fever, although tick borne. The deadly HFs include Ebola, Marburg, Hanta (in the US), and Llasa. Usually they are spread to people directly caring for the severly bleeding patients. On the other hand, while Bubonic Plague is usually spread by an infected flea bite, the Plague can also become Pneumonic (involving the lungs) which is even more deadly and can be spread from coughing, etc.
Two summers ago I went to my Virginia beach property alone and mowed the lawn, including brushing my back under trees where deer may have passed by. Three days later I was home and changing my clothes. My partner said “What is that on your back?” It turned out to be a blood filled tick, and there was a red ring forming around it in my skin, symptomatic of Lymes Disease. We went to my doctor who immediately prescribed the antibiotic Doxycycline, which did the job. Then I thought, what would have happened to me if I did NOT have a partner to see my back. That is a scary thought as I suspect he may die before I do even though I am 6 years older. Should I ask my HMO for an annual dermatology exam to get my back looked at for cancer?
Regarding business and politics. Does anyone know which company(s) experimenting with a vaccine? Hope to God it is NOT Pfizer. Is CCHF a virus or microbe? Could Ivermectin (a valuable anti-parasitic) be useful as a treatment? If CCHF is hemorrhagic, and bloody like Ebola, it would be valuable to vaccinate potential health care personnel. If it is more like Lymes, I doubt there would be much need for a vaccine except for people living near the potential disease. Is anyone working on a Lymes vaccine? Thousands living in Lymes areas are bitten and infected every year. If they don’t get immediate treatment, the disease can be very debilitating, like long Covid. Does anyone know what the death rate is for CCHF? Other HFs have far higher death rates than does Covid. Barring a high death rate, I think there will be much more resistance to the kinds of things governments did during the key Covid years.
If they did weaponize it by making it into a respiratory illness, this is terrible. Whether they did or not, clearly they released it into the public. And helped along by flooding Euopre - and the US - with third world criminals, mentally ill, military age men with no families, and sick people.
CCHF is a virus.
There was an effective Lyme vaccine in the late 90s but it was withdrawn because it makes you Lyme antibody + ( like any vaccine) but Lyme + is. a reportable disease and there was (and is) no efficient way to tell + from the infection as opposed to + from the vaccine.
If Lyme is a virus then it should be possible to discourage it by taking ZINC with appropriate IONOPHORES like Quercetin and EGCG from green tea if you can’t get a doctor to give HCQ or Ivermectin. However it is still best to get Doxycycline early and not risk getting a permanent case which resists cure.
“ If Lyme is a virus”
It’s not.
