I think if I visited Tanzania and the Congo, bleeding out of my eyes would be the least of my problems. There is no vaccine—- yet. Also, it’s believed to originate with bats.

Tanzania is a decent country. The WHO will do all it can to spread this disease and block any effective treatments.

Bats...........always bats.................

My eyes feel like they’re gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
____ed up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go

Fauci’s new pet project I suppose?

I will never, ever believe a word from the mouths of the WHO or the CDC. They are corrupted, evil institutions and should have been jailed for pushing the MRNA kill shots, masks, lock downs and forbidding the use of Ivermectin.

Criminals.

So... Ozempic?

Ah, Marburg. I guess the COVID scare is running on fumes and the press wants to pivot to something new. It’s been a few years since we had a Marburg or Ebola hysteria, so they may want to test fly this again.

The saving grace of the Marburg virus and other extremely virulent diseases is that they burn out very quickly. That makes them relatively easy to quarantine. They are nasty, but the onset of symptoms is rapid and they kill quickly. The greater risk is diseases with a long latency period, which creates the Typhoid Mary problem. This was the problem with AIDS. People could walk around for years with the virus and capable of transmitting it, but still asymptomatic.

Of course, with AIDS there was still the safety zone created by the fact that it was mostly self-inflicted. Don’t shoot up with dirty needles and keep your pants zipped up when you should, and you won’t get AIDS. The big exception there, in the early years, was people contracting AIDS through blood transfusions; a very high percentage of hemophiliacs were killed. But that was still a limited problem.

Sooner or later, some virus may mutate in such a way that it indeed becomes a universal contagion. We’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. But such an event is a bad survival strategy for the virus. Viruses and other infectious organisms want their hosts to live. They tend to evolve pretty rapidly into less virulent forms. The optimal endgame is to develop into a benign presence or even a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with their hosts.

Just like last night's Farewell Speech!
