- Hello Jeff - Looks like another virus is now hitting
and it's Iran's turn now. Heard again on the morning news how Bush wants
to destabilize Iraq, wonder if this is part of the plan?
-
- A US bioweaponeer recently spoke about their work. Amazing
stuff. He talked about agent 'N' - i.e. anthrax and the capability to spread
it via snipers with M14s, as well as the well-known light bulbs.
-
- Back to all of this mysterious viral illnesses in Pakistan,
Iran, Turkey, Kurdish territory and India. Promed is quick to claim that
some of the outbreaks are 'chicken pox.' However, chicken pox is really
a herpes virus, herpes zoster.
-
- Here is the Promed request for info on an outbreak in
Iran. When I have more for you to post as an actual news article, will
send it along to you. Patty

- Mysterious Virus Rages in Iran
-
- According to Iran National Broadcasting (IRIB) on 9 Jun
2002, an unidentified virus is threatening some 70 villages in the country's
western area. The symptoms shown were exhaustion, partial paralysis, severe
headache and nausea. A special team has been formed to investigate the
virus outbreak in March. In respond to IRIB criticism of the Health Ministry's
inappropriate measures, the Health Ministry had conducted all the necessary
lab tests and would require some time to recognize the new virus. Otherwise
the outbreak may become uncontrollable and spread nationwide. So far, no
death has been reported.

- More information on this outbreak and its etiology would
be appreciated. The absence of any report of mortality suggests a mild
illness, albeit speculation at this point is hazardous. While the exact
geography of this outbreak is not specified, the western borders of Iran
are shared with Iraq and Turkey. - Mod. MPP
