All very good points you make. I have wondered similar. This reminds me so much of the covid scamdemic and how everyone jumped on board with a few thoughts and no one was allowed to question anything, yet the majority of the accepted assumptions made no logical sense. I'm not wasting any of my time or energy on this latest scam of trying to get the public hysterical again.

I'm on your team. The only logical response is to, just say no.

In the countryside, it's common to see mice in huts where there are very small farms, and probably within a 50 km radius of where I live, hundreds of small farmers, now elderly, with very small country properties, found themselves, like me, cleaning these old huts, where mice were common, especially if there were still farmyard animals and therefore food storage for these animals. These old huts were cleaned every so often, and, as I did, their droppings also had to be cleaned.

I've done it a couple of times; often, while cleaning, it was best to hold my breath due to the stench of their droppings.

I've never had any health problems that could be traced to these exposures, and I've never heard of anyone having problems cleaning old huts where there was even recent mouse droppings.

Before these latest incidents, in decades of living in the countryside, I'd never heard of anyone becoming infected simply by inhaling mouse droppings.

The rodents, themselves, need to be infected, before their excrement could be infectious with hantavirus virus. Probably everyone living in a rural or wooded area is very familiar with mice. And anyone living in a big city probably has frequent encounters with rats. They are not all infected with hantavirus virus! Every once and awhile you hear about an outbreak pneumonic plague in the US. This latest cruise ship incident is one big psyop that the lamestream media is participating in. And the criminal, Dr. Deborah Birx, is out there calling for screening asymptomatic people with PCR tests! What an idiot! And how convenient that this is occurring in time for the US midterms. And virals of hantavirus are missing from an Australian lab. Sounds familiar. Genetic testing of this recent virus is identical to the original 2018 Andes strain, so it’s not a gain of function strain.

Thanks, I also have serious doubts that it's fraudulent. There's been too much talk and little data on how this infection would have evolved. Even criminal errors, such as keeping them in a situation of forced contagion.

Thanks Doc. We need you more than ever.

A little history: During the Korean War there was an outbreak of the Hantavirus Virus in U.S. and U.N. troops especially in trench/foxhole fighting. It infected about 3,000 troops and was later traced to rodent-borne transmission with the Korean strain ultimately identified in field rodents. When the war shifted from mobile fighting to entrenched positions near the 38th Parallel, rats became common in troop areas. War-related environmental disruption, including deforestation likely increased rodent exposure and helped the disease spread. The cause wasn’t identified until years later, when Dr. Ho Wang Lee isolated the virus from rodents in Korea. The disease formerly known as Korean Valley fever was renamed Hantavirus for the Hantaan river area where it was first studied. It was determined that the troops static positions allowed prolonged contact without modern vector controls. Person to person spread was negligible. I obtained this with assistance of Perplexity AI.
