Joseph Varon, MD, is a critical care physician, professor, and President of the Independent Medical Alliance. He has authored over 980 peer-reviewed publications and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine.
Dr. Varon published an article on brownstone.org on Monday: The Hantavirus Panic Machine: When Rare Diseases Become Media Theater.
Periodically, the public faces a new microbial threat. The pattern is consistent: a tragic death or cluster of illnesses emerges, prompting newsrooms to employ dramatic language such as “deadly virus,” “mysterious outbreak,” and “health officials concerned.” Social media further amplifies public fear. Public health agencies issue cautious statements, which journalists often reframe in alarmist terms. Within days, individuals previously unfamiliar with the terminology may become convinced that a civilization-ending epidemic is imminent. This month, it is hantavirus. Just turn on your TV sets and watch the number of newscasts depicting this “new illness.”
Why can’t the undeniably great success of the coronavirus pandemic be repeated? The most important reason is the dramatic change in the media landscape. Trust in the media, which prevailed just six years ago, has plummeted, especially in the US, and the role of independent media in informing society is growing daily. Of course, not everything that the new, non-globalized media proclaim is the absolute truth. The world never was and never will be black and white.
The hantavirus is not a new threat, nor is it a terrifying virus, but rather an infectious disease known for decades, primarily transmitted through dried mouse droppings. Most infections are mild or go unnoticed. Fatalities are extremely rare.
This is likely why EU politicians are muttering about needing to speak with Putin. After all, it was he who ensured that the coronavirus was permanently removed from the WHO’s repertoire of artificially generated panic-mongering.
The televised report of a “confirmed death from hantavirus” ignores the fact that it is an extremely rare event. The probability of being struck by lightning is higher. That happens too, but the WHO doesn’t call for a lightning pandemic. This, just like in 2020, is deliberate fear-mongering. Instead of remaining calm and taking appropriate measures, the corrupt governments of most countries worldwide have ensured that panic is spread. Why? So instead of taking appropriate and effective measures, we introduce lockdowns, torture pointless rag dolls, and decimate humanity with mRNA injections.
The WHO should be shut down, and if that doesn’t work, at least cured. We successfully managed the WHO’s treatment during the planned monkeypox pandemic. This threat was completely contained with resounding laughter. Laughter is the best antidote to fear-mongering.
The war in Ukraine is drawing to a close, and the war in the Persian Gulf will likely be frozen, much like the one in Korea. Those responsible for these tragedies, the globalists, are desperately searching for something to frighten us with and thus silence the voices calling for holding those responsible for genocide accountable.
