The remote overseas territory of Tristan da Cunha in the southern Atlantic has no airstrip and can only be reached by sea.
The British Army has airdropped a team of medics accompanied by paratroopers to treat a suspected hantavirus case on the remote island of Tristan da Cunha. The patient was among the passengers who left the Dutch-flagged cruise vessel MV Hondius before the deadly outbreak was confirmed.
The cruise liner, now dubbed the “plague ship” by some media, initially carried 175 guests and crew from 23 countries when it suffered an outbreak of a rare pathogen typically spread through contact with infected rodent droppings. The outbreak was caused by the Andes strain of hantavirus – the only one known to be capable of human-to-human transmission through close contact.
One of the passengers left the vessel on his home island of Tristan da Cunha, located in the southern Atlantic, on April 14 – three days after the first death – and reported his first symptoms two weeks later. The man is said to be in stable condition.

The World Health Organization has so far reported eight hantavirus cases linked to MV Hondius, including six confirmed cases and two still considered suspected. Three people have died from the infection. Authorities are also trying to trace the contacts of some two dozen people who disembarked at St. Helena on April 24, along with the body of the first victim.
The distressed vessel anchored at the industrial port of Granadilla in the Spanish Canary Islands, where the passengers were medically checked and ferried ashore over the weekend. Most were then repatriated to their home countries and placed in quarantine. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who personally oversaw the operation, reassured the public that hantavirus, while “serious,” is “not another COVID.”
Patient zero is believed to be a 70-year-old Dutch man, who was the first to die from the disease. According to the New York Post, he was an ornithologist who visited a landfill near the Argentinian city of Ushuaia for birdwatching shortly before boarding the ship. There, he and his wife, who also died, could have inhaled particles from the feces of local rats known to carry the disease.
This is the next hoax, as if by magic over 100,000 articles appeared talking about it.
Wondering if this is an attempt to gauge public opinion regarding a new miracle vaccine or perhaps an existing vaccine or medicine known to be safe. There is simply no way for the public to tell just what crap is in these products. I believe the chances of massive doses of various versions of a biological weapon will be universally rejected throughout the world. Granted their will be a number of people who are not awake along with fake results pumped out by state owned media. Media organisations which are no longer part of our daily routine.
For the most part, the world is awake.
I read: British army parachutes hantavirus into overseas territory.
You can see the ‘vaccine’ response frome over the horizon.
