Four people in Sarasota have fallen ill with malaria, and the Florida Department of Health has issued a statewide mosquito-borne illness alert, the department said this week. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control also has issued an alert after the Florida cases, and one case in Texas, are the first instances of locally transmitted malaria in the U.S. since 2003. More
Yet another gift from our recent arrivals from south of the border.
I’m sure Bill Gates monkeying around with mosquitoes lately has NOTHING to do with this. He’s due for another damaging cream pie to the face.
The media sure jumped out pretty quick in defense off Gates (from Hell).
Claiming that his genetically modified skeeters had absolutely nothing to do with this.
No siree.
from Hell = of Hell
But y’all knew that anyway.
Funny how these threats to life….killer shark & whale attacks, malarial skeeters, etc. come right at the beginning of tourist season. It’s almost like they want to punish Florida for some reason.
Pfizer & Moderna
We will have an mRna vaccine by the end of the week.
Biden – We’ve budgeted $50 BILLION to Pfizer & Moderna.
Is there anything the government ISN’T involved with? Fires, disease threats, cultural rot, medical tyranny, electorate fraud… ad nauseum. (Rhetorical, of course) Keep your powder dry.
Uuuuuuuuuuummmm. Didn’t Rachel Carson fix this for us and our own protection?
FJB
Biden gives away $265 million in leftover border wall material.

After the media is done defending Gates, they’ve got to figure out whether it’s all DeSantis’ fault or do they just ignore it because DeSantis is the only guy remotely close to Trump in the polls.

And of course they are coming up with new malaria vaccines! Typical fear porn to help introduce another vaccine. A few cases in a state with millions is not a federal emergency.
Two weeks to flatten the curve will take care of it.
Them skeeters better watch out because starting today, we can conceal carry here in Florida.
OH MY, 4 cases of Malaria, which is recoverable. I had it and one reoccurrence. Selling anxiety & fear of Mosquitoes in a swamp infested state?
Compared to:
Florida Number of Homicides 2,087
Malaria, didn’t she come across the border in Texas?
With Pedro the Pedo?
I wonder how much of this foolishness would stop if Gates was out of the picture. Just asking for a friend.
fkng-dumb-asses released “mosquitos” in florida, but nothing to see here – move along
Marketing program for drugs/vaccines and harsher govt control.
Drink more gin & tonic!
Don’ t mention hydroxychloriquine, whatever you do.
…too bad the boomer hippies banned DDT…
Rachel Carson was WRONG!
Bring back D.D.T.
As Thirdtwin alluded to, I wonder if all of this fear mongering is the beginning of an anti-DeSantis campaign. You know the Dems don’t want to leave any stone unthrown.
The article neglected to mention that mosquitoes require a disease reservoir to transfer the disease from.
Technically, they were correct in saying that you cannot get malaria through human to human contact (though direct blood-to-blood contact, such as from mother to fetus, or used needles, has been known to spread the disease). You normally only get the disease through human-to-mosquito-to-human contact. An outbreak requires an infected human (though there are simian malaria varieties known to have infected humans on Borneo).
As an example, you could have a concentrated pool of infected people from say, Somalia, living in an area of harsh winters, say, Minnesota, and get a malaria outbreak…or not. (All of humid eastern North America has an endemic anopheles variety available as a disease vector.)
To make it non-racial, anyone who comes back from a malaria zone with the disease, active or inactive, is a potential point of origin for an outbreak. Concentrations of these people, a military base, for example, increase the likelihood of an outbreak.
Also, a disease is not found unless it is looked for, specifically…and yes, there is at times some incentive not to look. To say that these are the first cases in decades is foolish.
Anyway, the spread of malaria will have little to do with global warming. It will be easy global travel, open borders, and lax politicized public health measures that will spread malaria — and dengue and yellow fever and ebola and polio and smallpox, etc.
Enjoy your summer.
Cato has malaria too?
Not exactly high fives but it’s quite an experience.
3 recurrences in 20 years. Always feels like my brain is outside my skull.
Bill Gates funded “research” to release genetically modified mosquitos that allegedly will decrease the number of mosquitos in Florida and Texas in the last 2 years, and suddenly Malaria comes back for the first time in 20 years in, … Florida and Texas and some reports also say in California too, which was also part of the “experiment” Bill and Melinda Gates foundation sponsored and funded.
None of this is coincidental. I don’t believe in coincidents. They will call you a conspiracy theorist for pointing out the reports their own media hacks boasted about and how their “science” is “saving” the planet. Facts say otherwise.
