A Distraction form the Middle East War Theatre ?

Is it a virus or is it the plague?
A mortality rate of 40% to 50% as reported by the mainstream is about equivalent to the one of the bubonic plagues. Hantavirus transmission to humans by rats is also a characteristic of the plague.
The Hantavirus was already discussed by the famous TV show of true mysteries several decades ago, in this case in 1998. And who they did say was behind it: FEMA.
Wouldn't that be typical for a new outbreak ? See this.
It is relatively easy to release a "saved" virus from a lab, targeting certain populations. If it gets out of hand, you have the "vaccine" ready. Like in the case of COVID.
Some bad-mouthing people said they recently had Hantavirus simulation, pretty much along the lines of the COVID simulation in November 2019 in New York City, under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University, where all the Big Players, UN Agencies, financiers, WHO, and, of course, the vax tsar, Bill Gates, participated.
This time, with such a high "reported" mortality rate, it may be easy for the agents in charge, like FEMA, to get people to run to every source offering the mRNA-type vaccine because the deadly mRNA it is gonna be - to be sure the virus "kills."
What is the background of this scaremongering story, very much reminiscent of COVID?
On a small Dutch-flagged cruise ship on the Atlantic Ocean, the MV Hondius, with 149 passengers and crew on board, left Ushuaia on 1 April 2026. Ushuaia, located in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, is widely recognized as the southernmost city. On the ship's voyage north, seven passengers fell ill and three died.
The ship first stopped in Saint Helena, where a Swiss passenger was evacuated and flown to Zurich. He is now hospitalized with symptoms of the Hantavirus. Saint Helena is a remote volcanic island located in the South Atlantic Ocean, between the southwestern coast of Africa (Angola/Namibia) and South America.
At the next stop, Praia, Cape Verde, three more passengers were taken off the vessel. In the Canary Islands, Spain, more passengers were evacuated.
The sadly funny thing is that British "scientists" -probably in collaboration with other western scientists- are developing a vaccine since August 2023 against a hypothetical, unknown pathogen referred to as "Disease X," which "experts fear could cause the next global pandemic."
How can you develop a vaccine against a disease that does not yet exist and is unknown?
Maybe these visionary scientists knew that a Hantavirus would hit humanity just about three years later, namely in 2026?
There was apparently no rat on the ship. So, how did the virus get on the ship ? The Associated Press had ostensibly learned from confidential Argentinian sources, that they believe a Dutch couple contracted the virus while bird-watching at a landfill site in Ushuaia before boarding the ship. Bird-watching at a landfill with rats?
Alternatively, could it be that the virus was released from a lab, probably a Category 4 War bio-lab, of the type of Fort Detrick, Maryland ? From where previously viruses escaped, according to some sources, also COVID?
Indeed, Hantavirus samples have escaped a lab before. In 2011, more than 300 vials of Hantavirus, Hendra virus, and Lyssavirus went missing from the Queensland Public Health Virology Laboratory in Australia. That was then. We do not seem to know what harm these "escaped" vials caused.
Hantaviruses come in two strains. When they hit humans, they usually cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HPS). They are named after the Hantan River in Korea, where scientists first identified the pathogen when UN troops deployed along its banks fell ill with HFRS.
The European and Asian strains (HFRS) kill less than 1% of those infected. The North and South American strains (HPS), also called Andes strain, discovered on the MV Hondius cruise ship, kills up to 50%, with an average fatality rate of 40%. This is in the range of the bubonic plague if untreated.
WHO says, no worries, the risks are too low. Strange, after all, it was WHO which blew COVID out of all reasonable proportions and made it within a few days one of the deadliest pandemics in recent history, or better known as plandemic, as we are aware now that it was a big lie.
Although the Pandemic Treaty (PT) was approved during the WHO's 2025 Annual Meeting, the critical Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) annex-essential for the treaty's implementation-has yet to be approved.
It is also not expected to pass during the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA79), scheduled for May 18-23, 2026. Recent negotiations failed to produce a consensus, prompting member states to extend discussions beyond the original deadline.
Could this be the reason why WHO does not want to burn its credibility this time by screaming "wolf" again, prematurely ? Surely there won't be a "wolf," but that has not stopped WHO in the past from spreading fear.
Perhaps the most plausible explanation for this potentially new "global virus scam" is that it serves as a distraction from the on-and-off war theater that US emperor-cum-general Trump is staging-both for the public on the one hand, and for Wall Street's stock exchange, oil and gas trading on the other, where long and short gambling enriches billionaires while making daily wage earners even poorer.
That would make the commanders of the City of London happy and would perfectly fit the global picture of the eternal deal-maker, wouldn't it?
