Driver who stopped to help when truck carrying 100 lab monkeys crashed in Pennsylvania and put her hand in one of the cages says she now has a cough and pink eye: CDC urges anyone in contact with the macaques to seek medical attention

A truck carrying around 100 monkeys that crashed in Pennsylvania is now sparking fears of infection after a woman who came into contact with the primates began to feel unwell.

Michelle Fallon, from Danville near Scranton, was driving directly behind the vehicle when it crashed, throwing animal crates all over the highway and smashing some to pieces.

Four of the 100 animals escaped and were seen sitting among the wreckage before they fled.

Police say they have now all been accounted for, with three known to have been euthanised.

Fallon said she got out to help both the driver and the animals in their cages, initially believing them to be cats. When she approached and put her hand on the cage, she says the monkey hissed at her.

The day following the accident, Fallon suddenly developed a cough and pink-eye, which became so bad that she had to visit the emergency room at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.

I feel bad for her. She might now have become monkey 101.

Sounds as if they were test animals.

I have a brother who works for Pfizer and he tells me they have a monkey farm down in South America somewhere. They can't have it in the states because what they do is illegal testing.

Sick mfers.

“Reston Va had an infected monkey lab a few decades ago.”

My family was one of the first to move to Reston after it started building back in the 60’s .. . EVEN back then there were a LOT of infected monkeys running around .. .

There is an office building and a day care center at the site of the Reston monkey lab.

“If you have “Escaped Plague Monkeys” on your 2022 Bingo card, mark that now.”

I had, “Escaped Transsexual Monkeys” .. . close enough ? I listed their pronouns as, “Kong” and, “Cheetah” .. .

How about they tell the public what the monkeys were infected with. Then we can work to prevent that ‘release’. If this is not done, then Crimes Against Humanity becomes the charge!

Can one contract rabies without being bitten or scratched?

Given the modern liberal, yes.

I wonder if these monkeys are part of a Fauci funded experiment?

Humans need an organization that fights against human medical experimentation—like the current rushed to market vaccines.

Not very original of them, but effective nonetheless.
