“Global Health Scare”: “Dangerous Hantavirus” On Board Dutch Cruise Ship. Remember? The Diamond Princess Cruise Ship in February 2020. Sets the Stage for Announcing The Covid-19 Pandemic
–>
A wave of media disinformation is unfolding in regards to the “dangerous Hantavirus” on board a Dutch cruise ship.
Meanwhile, the Western media has gone into high gear without supporting evidence, intimating that the hantavirus has triggered a “global health scare”.
The Hantavirus is casually referred to as “a deadly rat virus”.
Is it a Fear Campaign predicated on media disinformation?
Is it Intended to distract people from what is Happening in the Global War Theater.
This article focusses on the following:

Sets the Stage for Announcing the Covid Pandemic, February 20, 2020
“Outside China there are now 1076 cases in 20 countries, with a total of seven deaths….
….Of all cases outside China, more than half are among passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship“
Official Statement of WHO Director General Dr. Tedros, Geneva, 20 February 2020
1. Media Coverage of the “Dangerous” Hantavirus on Board the Dutch MV Hondius Cruise Ship.
According to Britain’s The Sun:
“A CRUISE ship feared to be harbouring a deadly rat virus will dock in the Canary Islands after the tragic deaths of three passengers.
Officials are desperately looking to contain the lethal outbreak to the luxury vessel but are now being made to search for dozens of people who flew with an infected passenger just days before she died.
Three people on the Dutch MV Hondius have died of the rare, but severe, hantavirus which has sparked a global health scare.
A British man, 69, is fighting for his life in a South African hospital, and two seriously ill crew members – including another UK national – are still stranded aboard the vessel awaiting evacuation.
The Spanish Health Ministry has now confirmed that it will receive the virus-ravaged ship in the Canary Islands “in accordance with international law and humanitarian principles” (emphasis added)
According to the CBC “”Health authorities have identified the Andes strain of hantavirus, which can be transmitted from person to person, in passengers who were on a cruise ship at the centre of a deadly outbreak of the rare infection, officials said Wednesday.
Two patients with hantavirus and one suspected of being infected were evacuated from the MV Hondius ship and flown to the Netherlands on Wednesday, the United Nations health agency said. The flight arrived in Amsterdam on Wednesday evening local time.
The Dutch Foreign Affairs Ministry said the three people evacuated were a 56-year-old Briton, a 41-year-old Dutch national and a 65-year-old German. The ministry said they would be “immediately transferred to specialized hospitals in Europe.” A Dutch hospital confirmed it would take one, and German authorities said they were preparing for a second.
Two “remain in a serious condition,” Oceanwide Expeditions said, and the third had no symptoms but was “closely associated” with a German passenger who died on May 2. (CBC)

2. Features of Hantavirus and Transmission to Humans
Question: Were rodent species detected inside the ship? Neither the media reports nor the WHO provide tangible evidence.
What the media states without evidence in relation to the ship: “passengers … were on a cruise ship at the centre of a deadly outbreak of the rare infection”
At the time of writing, The World Health Organization (WHO) has no evidence of human-to-human transmission on the cruise ship, nor does it have evidence of the presence of rodents “in areas were passengers were exposed”.
Ironically, reports point to “two main theories regarding how passengers may have been exposed”:
“Rodents on board the ship left infected droppings or urine in areas where passengers were exposed.”
Shore Excursions: Passengers may have encountered infected rodents or their excretions during shore excursions in areas known to harbor hantavirus”.
Neither of these “two main theories” are corroborated. No evidence.
3. WHO Report: Hantavirus Cluster Linked to Cruise Ship Travel, Multi-country. May 4, 2026
.
Description of the situation
On 2 May 2026, WHO received notification from the National International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Focal Point of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (hereafter referred to as the United Kingdom) regarding a cluster of severe acute respiratory illness, including two deaths and one critically ill passenger, aboard a Dutch-flagged cruise ship.
On 2 May 2026, laboratory testing conducted in South Africa confirmed hantavirus infection in one patient who is critically ill and in intensive care. On 3 May, one additional death was reported. A further three suspected cases remain on board. As of 4 May, a total of seven (two confirmed and five suspected) cases, including three deaths, have been reported.
The vessel departed Ushuaia, Argentina, on 1 April 2026 and followed an itinerary across the South Atlantic, with multiple stops in remote and ecologically diverse regions, including mainland Antarctica, South Georgia, Nightingale Island, Tristan da Cunha, Saint Helena, and Ascension Island. The extent of passenger contact with local wildlife during the voyage, or prior to boarding in Ushuaia remains undetermined. The vessel carries a total of 147 individuals, including 88 passengers and 59 crew members. Onboard passengers and crew represent 23 nationalities. As of 4 May 2026, the vessel is moored off the coast of Cabo Verde.
Summary of cases:
Case 1: An adult male developed symptoms of fever, headache, and mild diarrhoea on 6 April 2026 while on board the ship. By 11 April, the case developed respiratory distress and died on board on the same day. No microbiological tests were performed. The body of the passenger was removed from the vessel to Saint Helena (a British Overseas Territory) on 24 April.
Case 2: An adult female, who was a close contact of case 1, went ashore at Saint Helena on 24 April 2026 with gastrointestinal symptoms. She subsequently deteriorated during a flight to Johannesburg, South Africa, on 25 April. She later died upon arrival at the emergency department on 26 April. On 4 May, the case was subsequently confirmed by PCR with hantavirus infection. Contact tracing for passengers on the flight has been initiated.
Cases 1 and 2, had travelled in South America, including Argentina, before they boarded the cruise ship on 1 April 2026.
Case 3: An adult male presented to the ship’s doctor on 24 April 2026 with febrile illness, shortness of breath and signs of pneumonia. On 26 April, his condition worsened. He was medically evacuated from Ascension to South Africa on 27 April, where he is currently hospitalised in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Laboratory testing on an extensive respiratory pathogen panel was negative; however, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing confirmed hantavirus infection on 2 May 2026. Serology, sequencing and metagenomics are ongoing.
Case 4: An adult female, with presentation of pneumonia, died on 2 May 2026. The onset of symptoms was on 28 April, with fever and a general feeling of being unwell.
Three suspected cases have reported high fever and/or gastrointestinal symptoms and remain on board. Medical teams in Cabo Verde are evaluating the patients and collecting additional specimens for testing. (emphasis added)
4. Analysis of the Evidence
The WHO Report on the Hantavirus points to “a total of seven (two confirmed and five suspected) cases, including three deaths”.
The “two confirmed cases” of hantavirus infection: are presented by the WHO as “confirmed” by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, namely RT-PCR positive.
While the PCR test continues to be used, a WHO’s Advisory dated January 20, 2021 questions the validity of the RT-PCR test (positive), which means that the above statement pertaining to the 2 RT-PCR hantavirus cases are not confirmed.
The RT-PCR test does not identify/detect the virus. What the PCR test identifies are genetic fragments of numerous viruses (including influenza viruses types A and B and coronaviruses which trigger common colds).
The results of the RT-PCR test cannot “confirm” whether an individual who undertakes the test is infected with Hantavirus. A positive test does not mean that you have the hantavirus and/or that you could transmit the hantavirus.
“The PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick.” –
Dr. Kary Mullis, Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019.
According to Dr. Kary Mullis, “The PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part of a virus itself.”
According to renowned Swiss immunologist Dr. B. Stadler:
“So if we do a PCR corona test on an immune person, it is not a virus that is detected, but a small shattered part of the viral genome.
The test comes back positive for as long as there are tiny shattered parts of the virus left.
Even if the infectious viri are long dead, a corona test can come back positive, because the PCR method multiplies even a tiny fraction of the viral genetic material enough [to be detected].
.
Of significance: The WHO January 2021 Advisory was then followed a few months later by the bombshell decision of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (July 21, 2021) to withdraw the PCR test as a valid method for detecting and identifying SARS-CoV-2. As of December, 31 2021, the PCR test is longer considered valid by the CDC in the U.S.
By , December 29, 2021
What this implies is that both the CDC and the WHO have formally acknowledged the failures of the RT-PCR test, without however implementing a shift in the methodology of detecting and identifying the hantavirus
5. Towards the Development of a Hantavirus “Vaccine”?
According to a timely article by Dr. Nicolas Hulscher, the development of the Hantavirus “Vaccine” is already ongoing, in part under the auspices of US Army USAMRIID.
The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) is a University of Saskatchewan Research Centre, “specializing in vaccine development for humans and animals”.
“13 documented hantavirus vaccine and gene therapy programs in active development” are contemplated :
- 6 DNA “vaccines” (US Army / USAMRIID) — many of them “needle-free” jet-injector versions
- 3 mRNA “vaccines” (Moderna + Korea University, Chinese research team, VIDO Canada)
- 2 viral vector “vaccines” (UK institutions + VIDO Canada)
- 1 inactivated vaccine (Hantavax — already licensed and used in South Korea)
-
1 protein subunit vaccine (VIDO Canada)

The Vaccine Cartel and US Army Are Developing 13 Hantavirus Vaccines and Gene-Therapies
By , May 07, 2026
According to Dr. N. Hulscher:
“The US Army hantavirus DNA “vaccines” are not vaccines. They are literally plasmid DNA gene-therapies. Each one contains lab-made circular DNA (plasmids) carrying the hantavirus M-segment genes that code for the virus’s surface glycoproteins (Gn and Gc).
When injected (often with a needle-free jet injector or electroporation device), your own cells absorb the DNA, read it like a blueprint, and start manufacturing the pathogenic hantavirus proteins themselves.
While several Hantavirus Vaccine projects are already contemplated, the 2025 WHO sponsored Pandemic Treaty adopted by the WHO member states is in a bind.
“Perhaps the hantavirus situation is being pushed hard because the WHO’s pandemic treaty negotiations hit a major roadblock just 5 days ago. (May 1st)
Member states still can’t agree on the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) annex, meaning the pandemic treaty can’t come into effect.
This clearly angered WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, prompting him to warn the next pandemic was “a matter of when, not if.”

6. Future Pandemics
What is the role of the Dutch MV Hondius Cruise Ship Coupled with Dr. Tedros in the Driving Seat? Not to mention the role of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which finances the WHO.
“In the video below, Gates speaks about the likelihood of future pandemics and the need for better preparedness, noting that another global outbreak is expected within the next few decades.
“In the interview from a year ago (reposted on May 6, 2026) with The View, Bill Gates speaks on the COVID-19 pandemic before speaking on expected future pandemics:
“And it won’t be the last pandemic [says Gates]. The next one could be far more severe. I mean, this one, it killed millions.”( Briefly )

Flash Back to Dr. Tedros’ February 20th 2020 Press Conference regarding The Diamond Princess Cruise Ship and the announcement of the Covid-19 Pandemic
(See Part II below)
That was six years ago, The WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that he was “concerned that the chance to contain the coronavirus outbreak was “closing”.
Is WHO Director General Tedros intent upon Triggering the Next Pandemic? He knows how to do it
“A Matter of When, Not If”
“Copy and Paste” The Diamond Princess Cruise Ship, February 20, 2020?
And What is the Role of WHO Director Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’ Mentor Bill Gates?
At a press conference in Geneva, on the afternoon of February 20th, 2020 (CET), The Director General of the WHO Dr. Tedros intimated that the COVID-19 pandemic was imminent.
The WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that he was “concerned that the chance to contain the coronavirus outbreak was “closing””
“I believe the window of opportunity is still there, but that the window is narrowing.”
“Window is narrowing? A rapidly expanding Worldwide epidemic?

According to the PCR test, the recorded number of so-called “confirmed Covid cases” (by the WHO) on that same day (outside China) was 1,076 of which 621 were passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship (stranded in Japanese territorial waters).
The above numbers do not under any circumstances confirm an unfolding global health crisis.
“Outside China there are now 1076 cases in 20 countries, with a total of seven deaths….
….Of all cases outside China, more than half are among passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship“
Official Statement of WHO Director General Dr. Tedros, Geneva, 20 February 2020
Examine the WHO graph below. The blue indicates the confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess (international conveyance which arrived in Yokohama on February 3, 2020), many of whom were sick, confined to their rooms for more than two weeks (quarantine imposed by Japan). All passengers and crew took the illustrious RT-PCR test (which does not detect or identify SARS-CoV-2).
Needless to say, this so-called data was used to spearhead the fear campaign not to mention the collapse of financial markets in the course of the month of February 2020.
Source: WHO, February 2020
The official story is as follows:
-A Hong Kong-based passenger who had disembarked from the Diamond Princess in Hong Kong on January 25 2020 developed pneumonia and was tested positive for the novel coronavirus on January 30.
-The Diamond Princess arrived in Yokohama on February 3.
A quarantine was imposed on the cruiser,
Many passengers fell sick due to the confinement on the boat.
All the passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess undertook the PCR test.
The number of confirmed cases increased to 691 on February 23, 2020.
Read carefully: From the standpoint of assessing worldwide trends of a “deadly disease”, the official WHO data doesn’t add up.
Without the Diamond Princess data, the so-called number of confirmed cases worldwide outside China on February 20, 2020 was of the order of 452 cumulative confirmed cases, out of a population of 6.4 billion.
On February 20th, 57.9 % of the Worldwide Covid-19 “confirmed cases” were from the Diamond Princess, hardly representative of a Worldwide “statistical trend”.

Did Tedros’ Statements Serve to Trigger the Financial Crash?
452 cases. These “shock and awe” statements contributed to triggering panic, despite the fact that the number of confirmed cases outside China was exceedingly low.
The statement by Dr. Tedros (based on flawed concepts and statistics) set the stage for the February 2020 financial collapse triggered by inside information, foreknowledge, derivative trade, short-selling and a galore of hedge fund operations.
Insider Trading and Financial Fraud
The possibility of financial fraud and “inside trading” (which is illegal) was casually dispelled by financial analysts and media reports.
Without the human hand, there is no causal relationship between a microscopic virus and the complex gamut of financial variables.
The “killer virus” fear campaign coupled with Dr. Tedros’ timely “warnings” of the need to implement a Worldwide pandemic indelibly served the interests of Wall Street’s institutional speculators and hedge funds. The financial crash led to a major shift in the distribution of money wealth.
In the week following the February 20-21 WHO announcement, the Dow Jones collapsed by 12% (CNBC, February 28, 2020). According to analysts, the plunge of the DJIA was the result of the Worldwide spread of the virus. A nonsensical statement in contradiction with the (small) number of WHO Covid positive estimates (1076 outside China), most of which were based on the faulty PCR test.
Dow Jones Industrial Average December 2019 – March 2020
452 cases were sufficient to destabilize stock-markets all over the World?
The Virus was narrowly identified as the catalyst of the financial crash. Who was behind this catalyst?
Who was behind the fear campaign which contributed to triggering chaos and uncertainty on financial markets?
The small number of “COVID-19 confirmed cases” outside China (1,076) did not in any way point to an unfolding worldwide epidemic. But this did not prevent the markets from plummeting.
The markets had been manipulated. Whoever had foreknowledge (“inside information”) of the WHO Director-General’s February 20, 2020 statement (at the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, early afternoon at WHO Headquarters in Geneva) would have reaped significant monetary gains.
Was there a conflict of interest (as defined by the WHO)? The WHO is partly funded by the Gates Foundation. Bill Gates has “60% of his assets invested in equities [including stocks and index funds]”, according to a September 2019 CNBC report.
The stock market crash initiated on February 20th referred to as the 2020 Coronavirus Crash (February 20-April 7, 2020) was categorized as:
“The fastest fall in global stock markets in financial history, and the most devastating crash since the Wall Street Crash of 1929.”
The alleged cause of the financial crash was “The Virus”, (according to prominent “analysts”) namely, the “massive spread” of the epidemic outside China. But that was an outright lie, refuted by official WHO data. Media disinformation played a key role in spearheading the fear campaign.
“Blaming the Virus”: The Most Corrupt and Fraudulent Financial Crash in World History
The possibility of financial fraud and “insider trading” (which is illegal) was casually dispelled by financial analysts and media reports.
Without the human hand, there is no causal relationship between a microscopic virus and the complex gamut of financial variables.
The “killer virus” fear campaign coupled with Dr. Tedros’s timely “warnings” of the need to implement a worldwide pandemic indelibly served the interests of Wall Street’s institutional speculators and hedge funds.
The financial crash led to a major shift in the global distribution of money wealth.
The Fear campaign went into high gear alongside grotesque media lies: According to the BBC:
“The following day [March 12, 2020], …the government’s Sage committee of scientific experts was shown revised modelling of the likely death toll. The figures, according to the Sunday Times, were “shattering”. If nothing was done, there would be 510,000 deaths [UK].Under the existing “mitigation” strategy – to shield the most vulnerable while letting everyone go about their business mostly as normal – there would be a quarter of a million.
In a press conference, the prime minister [Johnson] told anyone with a continuous cough or a fever to self-isolate. His instruction came with a warning that “many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time”. The bluntness was shocking. Some asked why, in that case, more wasn’t being done.” (BBC, emphasis added)
