Bundibugyo!

I guess the hanta virus wasn't haunting enough for election year hysteria

I'm sure it'll kill everyone this time. It could but I'm doubtful.

Clearly not a concern, since it’s not on Twitter.

Trumps administration should be all over this to their advantage as a bulwark against unrestricted invasion, I mean immigration. Maybe this would be the impetus to convince our leftists to not flood the US with illegal aliens. Hahaha just kidding… it wouldn’t even slow them down.

Should they get so far as attempting the restrictive lock downs, mask wearing and forced vaccinations or any other happy horseshit I wonder if they would have fewer or more people be willingly compliant? I was astonished during Covid at how many millions so willingly believed every word they were told. I realized then that nearly half the population would jump from a tower if they were told that's what's needed to be done. My sister lined up for the shot(s) during the height of the Covid hysteria and was shaming the wife and I for not complying. Now she is living in fear everyday of suddenly dying from the shots. But if they gin this one up she would get in line again. She is one of those who just loves drama.

I think we would have a larger and more vocal opposition to any Covid like restrictions, along with mass non-compliance.

Dang it I had $5 on the Plague....

The hantavirus fizzled out, so a new media health hysteria has magically appeared like a twisted Marvel antihero whose superpower is keeping liberals frantic and anxious. (Democrats: hear me. It might look like it, but the media is not your friend.) Late last night, the New York Times alarmingly reported, “W.H.O. Declares Ebola Outbreak a Global Health Emergency.” Guess what the WHO’s last global health emergency was? Monkeypox. Before that, covid.

Since 2020, the WHO has declared no fewer than six public health emergencies, averaging one a year. Almost like it was scheduled or a quota or something. But I digress.

Specifically, this time it was about 246 suspected cases of Ebola and 80 deaths have been reported in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo —remember those two countries— although, the Times admitted, only ten of those cases have been verified as Ebola by a lab test.

The Times failed to mention that, buried inside the WHO’s own announcement, was this sentence: “The outbreak does not meet the criteria of pandemic emergency, as defined in the IHR.” Um. They are declaring an emergency over something they say is not an emergency. This kind of Orwellian, bureaucratic wordplay exposed the whole racket in a single sentence.

Nevertheless, the Times is freaking out. We should, too! In fact, the whole public health establishment is freaking out. (Performatively, of course.)

WHO Director Tedros Whatshisname called it “a serious threat that requires our collective action and global solidarity.” Public health halfwits like infamous pandemic grifter “Dr.” Neil Stone have been tweeting up a storm:



The Times warned its readers that “there is no approved vaccine and no therapeutics for the Bundibugyo species of Ebola behind the outbreak.” So … what do they expect us to do? Lockdowns? Grocery arrows? Face masks? Mail-in voting??

I promise I did not make this next part up. Just one paragraph after declaring there are no vaccines and no treatments, the Grey Lady provided her prescription for the USA: “to share vaccines, treatments, and other resources needed to contain the outbreak.” Um. Which is it? Are there vaccines and treatments, or aren’t there? The world’s dumbest newspaper.

Of course, the truth lay in the ambiguous words “other resources,” tacked after vaccines and treatments like an afterthought. In other words, they want our money.

Very late in the article, far beyond the point that most of the paper’s regular readers would have fled to hide beneath their beds, the Times finally contextualized the current ‘outbreak’ of 246 infections and 80 deaths. I report it here in the original:



So— the current outbreak is a rounding error compared to the last big one ten years ago. And since 2014 or so, Ebola outbreaks in Congo and Uganda have become nearly an annual event. We’ve pivoted straight from hantavirus cruise ship hysteria to recycled Ebola hype.

At some point, sooner rather than later, we must consider retiring the entire “pandemic preparedness” racket. Big pharma’s and public health officials’ salaries and avenues to personal wealth creation depend too much on germaphobia and pathogenesis, which is a horrible incentive for about ten thousand reasons.

I say we pull the plug on the whole thing, and take our chances, like we always used to do back when pandemics were rare 100-year events, not 10-year carnivals of recurring corruption.

I heard monkeypox is also on the rise. Maybe there will be a monkeypox Ebola Hantavirus mega plague?

Halloween's only 165 days away!

So many good band names on the board! Dismemberment Zombies opening for Reptilius!!!

Da 'bola comes around every few years, and it always burns out in a few weeks.

Damn. And just when so many of us were planning to vacation in Uganda.

Likely the primary cause of the spread of Ebola is the African tradition of washing and touching the remains. No better way to contact body fluids that, at death, are at the highest viral concentration.

Even though the vector is well known, distrust of governments prevents changing the tradition.

My unqualified opinion is that the reported number of cases and deaths from Ebol are vastly underestimated, not counting those outside of major metropolitan centers. That, and my trust in the veracity of African politicians is very poor!

Bottom line-don’t go to Africa; also be circumspect about allowing persons from high incidence of disease countries to come to America.
