Well, they’re not ‘experts’ then are they given that there wasn’t one? Experts who predicted fake ‘Covid’ years in advance reveal how new ‘virus’ in Alabama could trigger pandemic. I have just come over all sleepy … Zzzzzz
Experts are sounding the alarm about the discovery of a never-before-seen virus in the US which belongs to a deadly family of pathogens.
Researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia revealed this week they had discovered the new virus in shrews — small, mole-like animals — near the town of Camp Hill, in Tallapoosa County, Alabama.
The newly-named Camp Hill virus is part of the henipavirus family, which also includes the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses, which rank among the World Health Organization’s biggest pandemic threats and kill up to 70 percent of people they infect.
Dr David Dyjack, a public health expert at the National Environmental Health Association, who was not involved in the research, told DailyMail.com a new virus like this could be ‘threatening to all mankind.’
He said: ‘What concerns us in public health is we have this virus with [we believe] a very high mortality rate, and if it were to mutate and transmit to a human, and attack the kidneys, as we’ve seen in some animals, that could be particularly threatening to all of mankind.’
The new pathogen has yet to infect a human, so little is known about it, but other pathogens in the same family can cause spinal cord and brain inflammation, brain swelling, respiratory distress, kidney damage, and liver damage.
Dr Dyjack added: ‘I would say that there are three things that keep me up at night: One is a nuclear war. The second is the implications of a changing climate, and the third is a global pandemic. The Camp Hill virus sits squarely in the bullseye of the pandemic concern.’
Other experts are less alarmed about the discovery, such as Dr Donald Burke, an epidemiologist who predicted a global coronavirus pandemic two decades before the 2020 crisis. He told DailyMail.com that Camp Hill ‘isn’t likely to cause an epidemic.’
