Hantavirus: Public Health or Fear Theater?

Hantavirus: Public Health or Fear Theater?
Do you feel dizzy yet?
It seems we are on the same merry-go-round again.
I loved Dr. Malone’s take in his latest substack, here is my summary.
A virus shows up. The headlines get dramatic. The public is told there’s “no cure” and “no vaccine.” Fear goes up. Context disappears.
But the Andes strain of hantavirus is not new. It has been around in South America for decades. What appears to have happened here is much more basic: a virus likely got onto a ship through rodent contamination during provisioning or boarding.
That is not a “new pandemic threat.”
That is a sanitation and logistics failure.
And yes, hantavirus can be serious. People can become very ill. Some die. That should never be brushed off.
But there is a big difference between informing people and pushing them into helpless fear.
Dr. Malone makes the point clearly: if the goal is public health, the conversation should include practical prevention — rodent control, sanitation, respiratory protection where needed, and early support at the site of exposure, including the nasal and respiratory tract.
This is also where the IMA COVID protocols still matter. The same basic principles apply: don’t wait until a virus reaches the lungs or becomes systemic. Support the body early. Focus on the nasal passages, respiratory tract, immune function, and practical prevention.
Instead, the media gives us the usual script: no vaccine, no cure, be afraid.
We’ve seen this movie before.
We’ll drop the full Substack in the comments.
Quick question: Do you trust the media to explain outbreak risks calmly — yes or no?

Dr. Malone does do a good job identifying the fearmongering being played up with the current “outbreak.” Dr. Sam Bailey published a short video about the alleged hantavirus last year when the corporate media blamed it for Gene Hackman and/or his wife’s deaths. Dr. Bailey agrees about fearmongering, but offers a different analysis. She correctly points out the symptoms are non-specific and nobody anywhere has ever actually identified and isolated the alleged hantavirus. Both Dr. Malone and Dr. Bailey agree generally about the underlying cause possibly including bad sanitation. Dr. Malone blames sanitation deficiencies for allowing a virus to exist and cause infection. Dr. Bailey disagrees on the virus idea — she compellingly argues there’s no reason to blame an imaginary virus that never has been isolated or otherwise proven to exist. Instead, she says poor sanitation from allowing contact with diseased rodents or from other sources, as well as contaminated food and water more generally, environmental poisons, toxic pharmaceuticals, and/or other toxins are sufficient by themselves for creating conditions in the body that cause disease and death. https://drsambailey.com/resources/videos/viruses-unplugged/hollywoods-hantavirus/

Dishonest reporting and promoting fear – we have OTC and inexpensive “natural” treatment that effectively treat/eradicate any pathogen.

As Miranda Priestley would say, “rats? On ships? Groundbreaking…”

There are tons of different Hanta virus and luckily these are RNA virus we learnt to treat during the pandemic. So primary task would be to sequence the virus and relate it with known ones.
A quick research did point to Chloroquine (may better HCQ) as primary treatment, what could also mean that Ivermectin works too. But I could not find any related paper/report so far.
Look at :: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9966805/ for a Hanta virus treatment summary and learn that the expensive drugs one sold for Covid do shine up again and have almost no use if not given before symptoms.
Stereoids etc. are recommend – just read the paper to get more details!

We use Claude a lot – it is brilliant. But had to do that knowing chuckle thing when I read this.
