A nurse has been killed and another health worker seriously injured in an attack as they were responding to an Ebola alert in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Sorry but don’t be a do-gooder. Let these people die and raise the average IQ.

I’m sorry for the Nurse and others, who I’m sure were only trying to help.

But what kind of world are we living in where when someone mentions the CCP and Bill Gates controlled World Health Organization (WHO) as possible perpetrators of evil on the population, that we now pause to wonder if what they say could be true or not.

Even in Africa. I can’t see that happening in Tanzania or say Zambia.

Maybe some areas in South Africa, where the hatred caused by Marxism has taken root.

When you see those pitiful ads on TV asking you to donate to help poor, diseased, starving Africans, know that you are paying to send a nurse or doctor into the middle of the jungle to be shot or chopped up with a manchette.

Then again, if we are sending the nurses who make Tik Toks wishing death on Republicans and conservatives, maybe its not such a bad thing.

The world will remember COVID-19 with fondness if Ebola spreads as a pandemic.

<1% fatality rate versus 45%+.

Which they claim it can’t…become a pandemic I mean.
