sent to me by a subscriber who knows his shit: "I just posted this elsewhere but it's important to know....and spread in response to the fear mongering.
The reason the media are blowing up the hantavirus/pantovirus thing is because the WHO is about to hold its 78th World Health Assembly in 11 days and they need media attention to remain relevant.
In the last week or so the US has left the WHO officially, their "Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing" (PABS) agreement discussion has ended without resolution, and the Pandemic Treaty is still on the table and at a critical juncture. So they have very little powder for their big meeting - and this means their contributions will likely drop further.
So blowing up a minor hantavirus outbreak that has been ongoing since early April is purely political.
Important not to feed the fear but use the opportunity to shine a light on the real pathogen/parasite - the WHO!"
