“...Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE)...”
DEEET is your friend.
EEE is endemic in the NE United States, has been for a long time, case numbers fluctuate from year to year, it has been a “bad” year with somewhere around ten cases, a good year would be zero, 1-2 is not uncommon.
Has nothing to do with SUVs - or with illegal aliens.
“The mosquito-borne illness is a rare but “severe” disease...”
So was tuberculosis and a host of other diseases that had been eradicated in the US for decades, until 2020 that is..
It’s mosquito borne and has been a problem, especially in horses, for a long time. It was first recognized in 1831 in Massachusetts.
I knew a guy it happened to, the rest of his life in a wheel chair from a mosquito bite, and time is not kind to a body that exists in a wheel chair, especially to just a normal average joe with no exceptional will or drive.
You know, the guy who released tens of millions of genetically modified mosquitos.
How come a bunch of weird diseases pop up in CT a stone’s throw from Plum Island?
Horse Flu?
Jab! No immunity!
Eastern Equine Encephalitis was around when I lived in New England, late 1970s, and a few people died of it then.
It is without question a terrible thing for this man and his family.
But it is “extremely rare” and this was the “first death in almost a decade” in a state with a population of 3.6 million.
How is that a “startling resurgence?”
EEE has been a problem in the states for decades.
It’s been an issue around the Cicero Swamp near Syracuse, NY going back that far. They’ve been testing for and spraying for it that whole time.
The evacuated bio-weapon research lab on Plum Island, the suspected source of Lyme disease, is just across Long Island Sound from there.
Kamala bought it.
Now that people have a compromised immune system, things that have been around for a long time will start affecting them.
I want to know if he was jabbed.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where this might lead.
And, unrelated
However, think about it: They have the logistics in place to do it.
z3n :" “...Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE)...”
"DEEET is your friend."
ChicagoConservative27 :"A Connecticut father died Monday — five years after he was bitten by an infected mosquito while clearing brush in his wooded backyard."
"Richard Pawulski, 49, was killed from complications of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a fatal disease
that caused its first New York state death in nearly a decade last month
— marking a startling resurgence that’s left health officials baffled."
The mosquito-borne illness is a rare but “severe” disease that targets the brain, causing rapid physical deterioration and lifelong disabilities
— if it doesn’t kill you first."
Meanwhile, exponentially more Americans will be killed by illegal aliens than skeeters.
It looks like I really need to break the habit of feeding all of the neighborhood mosquitos.
Every time I go out to feed them, I think about the diseases that mosquitos carry—various forms of encephalitis, West Nile virus, and (in rare cases) malaria. They probably carry other disease, as well.
The problem is that DEET is almost as repelling to me as it is to the mosquitos.
