Then there is "Disease X". Which everyone is talking about.
Now, this is not even an actual disease (as far as I can gather - I have given up reading about it) but a hypothetical scenario. So it can be whatever scary thing you want, right?
Ebola sounds pretty nasty and scary, same as Marburg. But these diseases are blood born diseases, and so much more manageable, should there be an outbreak.
It's just more fear porn - and people are buying it.
Even though the SARS-CoV-2 virus was manufactured in a lab, and designed to do a lot of damage to humans, it fairly quickly morphed into a less lethal form (not that the original Wuhan strain was as lethal as they tried to make out, but still, it was pretty nasty by all accounts).
The human immune system is actually quite wonderful, & has been protecting us for millennia.
And we have some known remedies, even Vitamin D levels make a huge difference to severity of illness, with covid and lots of other things. (Of course, our TGA has listed Vitamin D under their "treatments not to be used" list. Which says it all.)
Those vaccine wonder-boys like to think that they can do better, but their record is nowhere near as good.

Thanks, ExcessDeathsAU, for this excellent and important post.
Some years ago, well before covid, Ebola had me pretty well concerned when someone brought it to Dallas. Now I get what this game's about. Bah.
good title 😉
🙏 another thought provoking article on the current cons
