TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Standing over the still body of an intubated 5-year-old boy wearing nothing but a plastic diaper, an Iranian health care worker in a hazmat suit and mask begged the public for just one thing: Stop drinking industrial alcohol over fears about the new coronavirus.
The boy, now blind after his parents gave him toxic methanol in the mistaken belief it protects against the virus, is just one of hundreds of victims of an epidemic inside the pandemic now gripping Iran.
Iranian media report nearly 300 people have been killed and more than 1,000 sickened so far by ingesting methanol across the Islamic Republic, where drinking alcohol is banned and where those who do rely on bootleggers. An Iranian doctor helping the country’s Health Ministry told The Associated Press on Friday the problem was even greater, giving a death toll of around 480 with 2,850 people sickened.
The poisonings come as fake remedies spread across social media in Iran, where people remain deeply suspicious of the government after it downplayed the crisis for days before it overwhelmed the country. MORE
…Islam is the REAL poison… Everything else is just downstream sequale…
Meanwhile we have dem Govs in MI and NV banning treatment that may well be a cure. Go figure.
Did they run out of fish tank cleaner?
Just have to go back to licking the Door of Holy Shrine, cause we know that works so well.
That’s terrible
‘If you don’t read the newspapers you’re uninformed, if you do read the newspapers you’re misinformed’.
It doesn’t matter where you’re at.
Well, the Iranian people know what they must do.
Fix the Big Mistake they made back in the 70’s.
Western medicine or even the offer of it is haram! Any comment from Jimmy Carter?
Obviously 40 years of mad, mindless, murdering, muzloid control has shaved about 20 points off the average IQ in Iran!
Get the drugs from 0bama’s stash. What did they use the cash on? (yeah, I know.)
Well ….. it must have worked since no one can deny that they were cured of the virus.
I only feel bad for the kids.
Why didn’t the rest protest and shut down the government they claim to hate so much?
They blame the White House yet?
The ones who protest and the ones who drink methanol thinking it will help them are two very discrete groups.
Inbred, low IQ, 7th century thinking, and superstitious people resort to things like this. They lack the capacity to think for themselves.
The Iranians were correct! Dead people never contract any kind of virus. The “cure” only had one slight drawback, Consumption is fatal most of the. time.
The newly concocted Iranian cocktail. The shit or go blind. Looks like its gaining in popularity.
We have the same types here. Much of our information seems just as confusing to many. And many of our political leaders have been putting out BS for their own political objectives and doing Americans an injustice. Common sense, if you can find some, might save your butt.
C’est dommage.
Trust NO muslim.
My sympathies to the young boy.
BUT………per the muzzies own beliefs, “As Allah wills it”. SO it must have been meant to be.
That boy and all the others who have died chasing fake CoronaCures…….
That many less jihadis (and their inbred offspring) to attack us later.
Who knew that dragster racing fuel was bad for you?
You don’t even need to drink it to be poisoned by that stuff, it’s reactive, don’t get it on you. Side note, I’ve been told that drinking 140 proof alcohol is the antidote if you get it on you.
Wow. I just learned a new word: “sequelae”.
Thanks, Supernightshade!
🙂
It’s all Jimmy Carters fault.
You cannot possibly know how little I care…..
Good thing methanol is inflammable or this could have been a whole lot worse.
John @
Makes a great point. That part of the world needs to have its own revolution just like the United States dis.
AIR Drop a million bolt action rifles (7.62×39) to the citizens if Iran and let them take it to the Regime!
Why bolt actions?
Good enough to fuck up the local ASSHOLES but not enough to threaten an organized and technological military with technology, air, space, land & sea.
And Jimmy Carter did fuck up! “Bigly”
Just think, not one missle or bullet was fired from the US. Iranians seem to have the knack of killing themselves. The kid is blind so we dont have to worry about a terror attack from him. I think in these terms ever since 9/11.
Buy a case for omar and tlaib.
