    Yellow Fever on brink of entering Europe and the Americas

    Yellow Fever on brink of entering Europe and the Americas

    Not a nice way to die. Sort of like Ebola.


    Obama, Hillary, and the globalists want open borders.


    Virus leads to bleeding from eyes, nose and mouth and organ failure, and is sweeping across Africa in worst outbreak for more than 30 years. A dozen cases have already been reported in China, and Save the Children says vaccine stocks are too low to cope with a global outbreak
    A deadly African virus is on the brink of spreading to Europe and the Americas amid the largest outbreak in more than 30 years, a charity has warned.

    The next big pandemic? - Brazil stocking up on yellow fever vaccine...

    Brazil orders 11.5 million yellow fever vaccine doses
    Thu, 26 Jan 2017 - Brazil is facing the largest outbreak of the disease in the country since 2000.
    Brazil's health ministry has ordered 11.5 million doses of yellow fever vaccine amid the largest outbreak of the disease in the country since 2000. Seventy cases - including 40 deaths - are confirmed, mostly in rural areas of the state of Minas Gerais. More than 300 cases are under investigation. Vaccinations are being recommended for people travelling to Minas and other areas with confirmed cases. Yellow fever is a potentially fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Most of Brazil is considered at risk from yellow fever but the country has only seen a handful of cases in recent years.


    Yellow fever vaccine

    What is yellow fever?

    * Caused by a virus that is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes
    * Difficult to diagnose and often confused with other diseases or fevers
    * Most people recover after the first phase of infection that usually involves fever, muscle and back pain, headache, shivers, loss of appetite, and nausea or vomiting
    * About 15% of people face a second, more serious phase involving high fever, jaundice, bleeding and deteriorating kidney function
    * Half of those who enter the "toxic" phase usually die within 10 to 14 days

    Source: WHO

    The governor of Minas Gerais has declared a 180-day state of emergency. There have also been three confirmed cases in Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populous state, and one each in Espiritu Santo and Bahia, which both neighbour Minas. Around 5.5m vaccine doses have already been sent to five states that have confirmed cases or are at risk. The other 6 million ordered will arrive soon. It is not clear what has caused the rise in cases. Jimmy Whitworth, professor of international public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "It's unusual. "The more cases you have, the more chance that it's going to light up and take off in urban areas." The Brazilian authorities are taking the situation very seriously and appear to have enough vaccine stocks, he added.

    Do injections for Yellow Fever really work? Are they full of toxic substances and mercury like the rest of them?
    Will they put other diseases in the shots to kill more people?

    Yellow fever outbreak in Brazil attributed to climate change...

    Climate shift brings back an old scourge as Brazil races to contain yellow fever outbreak
    Saturday 4th February, 2017 - Brazilian health authorities are rushing to try to control an outbreak of yellow fever, a viral relic of the colonial era. But the disease is back and killing people at a rate not seen for decades, and experts say it is being driven by some of the same factors that have fuelled the outbreak of Zika virus, a new threat that has wrought havoc in Brazil over the past two years.
    Fifty-two people have died of yellow fever so far, in an outbreak that began with the onset of Southern Hemisphere summer in December, and another 80 deaths are being investigated as suspected yellow fever fatalities, according to the Ministry of Health. The Ministry says that a further 667 suspected cases of the disease are under analysis. Public health officials have inoculated five million people in the central state of Minas Gerais, where almost all the cases have been concentrated, and ordered 11.5 million more doses of the vaccine for two more areas where a handful of cases have been confirmed, including Sao Paulo, the country’s most populous state. A suspected yellow fever case has also been reported in Bahia, a coastal state that has not recorded the disease since 1985.

    Most people who contract yellow fever have no symptoms; only about 10 per cent develop the fever, severe headache, nausea and vomiting. Of these, about half will die. Yellow fever is still a major killer in Africa, where it originated, and it was once a scourge throughout the Americas after it was imported on slave ships. It decimated Napoleon’s army in Haiti, nearly scuppered the construction of the Panama Canal, and took hundreds of thousands of lives before a vaccine was found in the late 1930s. Since then, deaths have dropped steadily; the disease typically flares up Brazil in seven-year cycles, but with fewer than 20 deaths. This outbreak, however, is already much more lethal, and experts appear divided on whether it is now fully controlled.

    Yellow fever is caused by a flavivirus (the same family as Zika and dengue fever) and is transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes and Haemogogus species. The mosquitoes feed on primates – human and otherwise – and the first sign that the disease was back in Brazil was the discovery of clusters of dead monkeys. At present, epidemiologists say, Brazil has a “wild” outbreak: the virus was in a reservoir of monkeys that passed it on to mosquitoes that bit them, which then spread it to more monkeys, and then more mosquitoes. Biologists call this “amplifying” the virus. Monkeys are its primary host, but some of those infected mosquitoes bit people, who were working in or passing through the forest homes of the monkeys.

    The top priority now is to stop the outbreak from becoming “urban,” Brazil’s Health Minister, Ricardo Barros, said recently, urging people to seek vaccinations. If the virus gets firmly established in urban areas in mosquito species that live primarily around humans, and can rapidly spread the virus between them (as Aedes aegypti does with Zika virus), it raises the possibility of a huge epidemic of the kind Brazil has not seen for nearly a century, he said. The three deaths recorded in Sao Paulo so far were among people who were infected in Minas Gerais, the Health Minister said.

    Yellow fever outbreak in Brazil kills over 130...


    Brazil Yellow Fever Cases Pass 400; More Than 130 Dead
    March 16, 2017 — Brazil's Health Ministry says 424 people have been infected with yellow fever in the largest outbreak the country has seen in years. Of those, 137 have died.
    An update published Thursday said that more than 900 other cases are under investigation. During the current outbreak in the Southern Hemisphere's summer rainy season, the vast majority of the confirmed cases have been in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais.

    Much of Brazil is considered at risk for yellow fever, and people in those areas are supposed to be vaccinated. But this outbreak struck some areas not previously considered at risk, and Brazil is rushing vaccines to those areas.


    Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne disease that cause causes fever, body aches, vomiting and can cause jaundice, from which it gets its name.

    Yup, people bring their pest with them. And of course the more people you have and the more stressed their condition the more ripe for epidemic the situation is.
    The only answer , which we have discussed in the past, is for all nations to come together to commit genocide upon a common enemy. The Mosquitto. In the process for getting about their poliically fueled hatred of each other.

    Agencies designed to combat problems have to work in order to be effective. Just because the CDC exist does not mean it is effective.
