I don't know whether this has been posted yet, I can't keep up with everything on this site, but I thought it relevant in light of all the scientists turning up dead worldwide...

Hmm, this is not good...
Outbreaks of hemmoraghic fever in both of the heart of Africa and Afganistan whithin days of each other? Maybe the start of round # 2 as Johnny Taliban has been saying?
Infect the afgans in the refugee camps, which could then infect soldiers/journalists/aid workers?

They could have been spreading their "pixie dust" around in Afghanistan to test it and some of those poor people got it. I'm no tinfoiler, but I'm wondering why we're not hearing about this on the nightly news?? (Or even my favorite--Fox?)
So glad we have our own personal thread on this. I somehow thought more people would be interested... Maybe a change of title?

If this is confirmed, we should just let the nukes fly.
We can make more, and the world will know what happens when someone pulls this $hit.

CCH is fairly common for the region. With population movement and the conditions they are living under (even worse than normal). It would be safe to say it would not be any great shock. I believe the vector for CCH are ticks. These people are moving their animals would also be moving. I do not think this is any great big surprise that there is an outbreak.
To: GatorGirl
I somehow thought more people would be interested... I would think so too. How common is the fever in this area? When was the last outbreak? I'll see if I can do some research on that (in between work projects).

Media reports of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Pakistan
4 October 2001 Media reports have claimed that 75 people, including 8 who have died, have been infected with Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus in Pakistan, on the border with Afghanistan.
The WHO Country Office in Pakistan and its team in Quetta, and the WHO Office for the Eastern Mediterranean Region have investigated this report. Their findings follow: This week, a hospital in Quetta opened a new ward specifically for managing CCHF patients since cases occur each year in the region.
As soon as the ward was open, 4 suspected cases were transferred or referred by other health care providers to the new ward. All the cases were from Pakistan, had disease onset within the past week and were not linked. As per the usual procedure, samples have been collected and sent to the National Institute of Health in Islamabad.The total number of suspected CCHF cases reported in Pakistan in 2001 is 41 cases with 12 deaths (onset March to October). An additional 6 cases with 2 deaths (onset May to August) were persons infected in Afghanistan who were treated in Pakistan. In summary, these recent cases exhibit the typical pattern for this endemic disease. CCHF is a viral haemorrhagic fever, primarily a zoonosis, although sporadic cases and small outbreaks of CCHF affecting humans do occur. It is endemic in the area (see Disease Outbreak News Report: 8 May 1998 - Afghanistan; Pakistan). The virus is transmitted by argasid or ixodid ticks. With cooler weather approaching, virus transmission is expected to end within several weeks

140 Ebola (same as this fever?) Infected camps on the Pakistani border, Soviet aeresolized version, Ramadan(sp?), the scientists showing up dead around the world all know about Ebola.

I have only heard about that one scientist who disappeared in Tennessee. He was from Harvard but associated with St. Jude's hospital and his car was found still running on a bridge. What is all this about scientists around the world turning up dead?
Links? Info?

Personally, remember hearing of two over the last week here on FReerepublic. I was half asleep when I heard more on
Art Bell's Last Night Show. His guest which was compiling the info was at
www.breathenoevil.com. It is Art Bell and is all I have, which is why I didn't create a thread. There is another thread which sources the articles alluded to at these sites. Search Ebola.

Ok. These scientists disapearring and dying is troubling. This, IMO, just seems bigger than OBL and his network.
