As India ramps up its own COVID-19 vaccination effort after a slow start, the country’s health officials are racing to head off a new threat: an outbreak of the deadly Nipah virus.
The containment effort is taking place in the southern state of Kerala, India where a 12-year-old boy died of the Nipah virus in Kozhikode. Several other infections have been traced.
The virus is considered deadlier than COVID, and so far 20 people who are considered primary contacts to the dead child have been quarantined or hospitalized. At least two hospital workers have suspected infections, as well.
The boy died Sunday, September 5, 2021, after a week in the hospital. After being admitted with a high fever, his condition worsened to include inflammation of his brain. Blood samples confirmed the Nipah infection.
Nipah is most frequently passed from animals to humans through direct contact, often after specific types of fruit bats pass the virus to livestock or pets.
The last outbreak in India, which was also in Kerala, killed 17 members of an 18-person family. Their infections were traced to dead fruit bats found in the family’s drinking water well.
Symptoms often start mild but grow to include high fever and respiratory issues before devolving further to include brain swelling which can lead to coma and death. The virus is rarer but can be as much as 75% fatal.
The virus was first discovered in 1999 and has killed more than 260 people, all in South and Southeast Asia.
Fruits suspected as having come in contact with urine or saliva from infected bats can be safely consumed after being thoroughly washed and peeled. However, fruits with visible bite marks in it should be discarded. [NYDailynews]

Since it happened before, people should have put screens over their well so infected bats could have been prevented from entering and infecting the well water.
I think Indian people are smart enough to know better. I suspect the origin of the virus to be a bioweapon. After all, they were smart enough to kick bill gates and his vax poison out of India, Right?

Mike Adams on Ivermectin. Also people of India are having excellent results with Ivermectin. Shows they are smart and using their intelligence to save lives, while our homegrown traitors and new media buttclowns are espousing outright lies, which is killing people. That’s downright EVIL!

If you don’t want to be forced to take the vax plague, you can self-identify as a vaxed person. Seems like it fits into the lefty buttclown mentality?
I would go for religious exemption. If that fails, then try the self-identify method. Either way should be permitted. My health, my choice.
From now on, anyone who gets sick and dies will be named the bearer of a new virus. They will be coming for our pets as well.
They want to infect pets and livestock as vectors for their bioweapons.
