    I know there’s always talk of bioweapons, but warzones are also a melting pot for diseases, especially in a modern war where soldiers are more likely to survive wounds that would’ve once killed you outright - Those same wounds are the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of disease.

    Pair that with our lax intl’ response to antibiotic resistance (which is probably even less of a concern to doctors in warzones) you have a powder keg of pandemic proportions ready to blow.

    Wow. If what this article says is true EVERYONE reading this needs to take precautions. Have proper N-95 masks, hand sanitizers, stockpiles of cheap shelf stable stuff like dry rice and beans, a UV light to disinfect anything you get delivered. This sounds exactly like what a biologically engineered superweapon would look like. The only saving grace is if they really are extra virulent maybe people will die from them so fast they dont spread it too much.

    I’m sure all those US owned bioweapon labs got nothing to do with it.

    Real talk though I would t be surprised if they used Ukraine to introduce a biological weapon on Easter Europe and Asia. Funny thing is if they do, it’s gonna hit the US eventually and it’ll be way worse over here because of the utter lack of ability to quarantine. Fucking boomers over here are walking gas bags of disease. Spreading it wherever they please cause putting a mask over their fucking faces is an attack on their freedom to make the res of us have to breathe their bullshit.

        That also requires them to take the initiative to think that far ahead, also to actually care about their population. As it seems, the oligarchy doesn’t care to save American lives. The more of us die the more wealth they can collect for themselves.

        Also can base this on almost every other time the US intentionally created and spread diseases that still affects large portions of the population and never had a cure or vaccine made. Such as lime disease.

          Well, their entire house of cards based economy relies on surplus value extraction which can only be produced by workers so they can’t just let all their workers die, especially if workers in China survive.

        You might think so but there are a lot of ways for that to not work out as planned. (Like if the dept head thinks vaccines are the devil from bible e.g.)

        unless it mutates, but either way covid proved that vaccine or not amerikkkan healthcare infrastructure is simply incapable of dealing with any kind of crisis.
