    Even with the best medical care, Hantavirus has a 20% fatality rate.

    Let’s just hope that conservatives continue being so anti-vaccine… a few more pandemics with human-transmissible highly-fatal viruses and maybe we can get that socialist utopia that the right always cock-blocks us from achieving.

        Democrats are not “of the left”, they are actually right-lite.

        Aside from a tiny handful of Dems like AOC and Bernie - who would be classified as solid centrists in any other country - there are no politicians “on the left” anywhere at the Federal level.

        Relevant meme.

          Yeah, I agree with you, but Democrat “right-lite” (or whatever you want to call them) are still getting their shots.

            Most republicans even RFK and Trump are for sure vaccinated against every disease and virus etc. They just know how to pander to suckers, the DNC expects you to admit you’re a sucker but just a sucker to vote for them

    This doctor was previously suspended for vaccine misinformation and now has a complaint against her by the texas medical board for numerous violations of professional conduct, including prescribing medication without ever meeting or examining a patient.

    She filed a defamation lawsuit against the hospital which she lost. Ouch. Best of luck to her in keeping her certification, and in finding a new job! She should become trumps personal dr.

    There is no doubt there are redcoats still sitting on warehouses full of this stuff, who couldn’t get rid of it “way back then”. These snake oil salesmen and purveyors of lucky charms expected to make millions from selling shit that doesn’t work. Not for viral control anyway.

    And so by voice of king god donnie (kgd), it’s time to bring it back and MANDATE it (quick before it’s all out of date).

    I wonder how many square feet of the “Big I” Mr. Wormbrain has left to get rid of. Or does he use it to actually deworm?

      We won’t. This virus is only transmitted in close contact. None of the the science-based community I follow are worried, so I’m not worried.

        Some variants like the Andes strain are developing the ability to be human-transmissible. It has been recorded jumping from one human host to the next in prior outbreaks. Once it evolves to be trivially-transmissible, all bets are off.

          My comment addressed the Andes strain. Although it is human transmissable, it requires close contact. That’s why it’s currently not much of a concern.

            Also, at the societal level, the high lethality of the virus makes it far less likely to be able to spread broadly.

      This strain is spread by close, intimate contact. Keep mice and rats out of your home, clean up their poop with a wet paper towel if you find it. This will help prevent poop dust from being kicked up, which is how the virus is typically transmitted.

      Yes Hantavirus is scary. You can pretty effectively protect yourself, and if you walk in somewhere and happen to spot mice poop just chillin — politely inform whoever is living with mice about what I just told you and leave.

        Actually by sheer volume they were taking all the horse paste away from the horses who needed it so rural supply stores had to lock down their supplies for only people who could prove they owned livestock.

          Humans were consuming so much horse paste that there was a shortage?! That’s wild.

          I guess I never really knew why so many people associate ivermectin with horses. I would not have guessed that 😆

    The vast majority of viruses are RNA-based so it appears that we have a pretty much universal cure here.
