Camels May Transmit New Middle Eastern Virus
sciencehabit writes "Ever since people in the Middle East started dying of a mysterious new infection last year, scientists have been trying to pinpoint the source of the outbreak. Now they may finally have found a clue in an unlikely population: retired racing camels. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates produce and consume large amounts of camel meat. The authors of the paper point out that huge numbers of camels are imported to the Middle East from African countries as well as from Australia, where the animals were introduced in the 19th century and which now has an estimated 1 million feral camels. (Australia started exporting camels to Saudi Arabia for meat production in 2002.) That raises the possibility that African or Australian bats harbor the virus and camels carried it to the Middle East."
Oh come one, seriously?
.. this happens ALL the time. Just because some doctor finds a cold virus in their system, doesn't mean you need to be afraid of Muslims or start calling them camel humpers or promoting nuclear war!
.. designed to make you shun others, specifically, to shun Muslims. 2 people have died, flu viruses cause many more deaths than that every day. This is the promotion of unrealistic fear, nothing more.
It doesn't matter whether this is a naturally occurring virus or something created by whatever government around the world wants to make people afraid of Muslims, this is just plain silly. People are dying of pneumonia
I'm sick of the insighting of hatred against Muslims. It's such a programmed fear response. If you don't recognise the programming being unleashed upon you by these global fascist insiders, then you need to take a long hard look at yourself. This is fear programming
Take the red pill.
