Discussion on Pneumonic Plague and Bioweapons

Dr. McCullough, so the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and

we get this new novel coronavirus.

Now we have the Anti-Plague Institute, and we now have pneumonic

plague. Um, I, I don't know what's going on,

but isn't there a possibility this

is a bioweapon? That's what they're doing there,

creating new plagues.

This one got out, and this, this researcher died of it.

It's suspicious for it, for sure. And listen, she's 28 years old,

ostensibly healthy, and she's dead in a couple days.

Yersinia pestis, this gram-negative organism, Rob, if it's

inhaled out of a test tube, it directly goes into the lungs.

If she coughs, she can spread droplets of this bacteria

to others.

And you know, the hospital she died in, she was on a mechanical ventilator,

they've locked down the entire hospital, so no patients

coming in, no patients are coming out.

They're behaving like she has pneumonic plague.

Now, the cultures may be pending, or they may know the culture results from

sputum. I'm suspicious she has pneumonic plague.

Now, the good news is, uh, it should be amenable

to ciprofloxacin prophylaxis, just like Cipro was used

to prophylax the meningitis cases in Cambridge, United

Kingdom.
