(The Epoch Times)—An aggressive monkey infected with COVID-19 and other diseases was on the loose in Jasper County, Mississippi, on Tuesday after a semi-truck carrying 21 primates overturned while transporting them from Tulane University to an out-of-state testing facility.
All 20 of the other infected rhesus monkeys were destroyed after the accident, according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department.
“We are continuing to look for the one monkey that is still on the loose,” the sheriff’s department reported on Facebook. “We have been in contact with an animal disposal company to help handle the situation.”
The monkeys weighed about 40 pounds each. They also carried hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID, but are not infectious, according to authorities. more
Was the truck being driven by an ILLEGAL with a CA CDL?
“…not infectious, according to authorities.”
I wouldn’t count on it.
Best wear a mask. /s/
It’ll turn up on the New York subway.
It was a terrible accident- there were rhesus pieces everywhere!

In MS…they’ll have to check IDs to find it.

They were better off in the lab now that SNAP benefits are being cut!
Yerkes has gibbon monkeys they infect. I lived within 1 mile of Yerkes for 31 years. I kept a 12 gauge pump with #4 buck above the door to my deck in case I ever saw a monkey.
Infected monkeys are serious business.
” They also carried hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID”.
The monkey was last seen heading in the direction of San Francisco.
Here we go; COOF-26
A lab will take out mankind long before a meteor. Fools
