One week after our detailed report on Eastern Equine Encephalitis, two more New Hampshire residents have since tested positive. The headline reads Two Hospitalized, but if you read the short report, they were released (one from Derry, the other from Newmarket).
If they had EEE in its rare and potentially fatal form, I doubt they would not have been released. The report provides no other details, so we’ll fill in the blanks. According to the peer-reviewed research we shared here,
Nearly 96% of infected patients remain asymptomatic. Those with symptoms usually start with non-specific symptomatology, fever, headache, malaise, chills, arthralgias, nausea, and vomiting also reported.[8] Less than 5% of the infected population will develop meningitis or encephalitis.
Not unlike COVID, if you wanted to scare the crap out of people, you’d overwhelm them with messaging to get tested, which would result in a rise in positive cases (and fear) even though many of those would be false positives (in the case of flawed tests like the PCR) and 96% would fit the asymptomatic non-risk profile.
In other words, based on the researcher’s results, many people get bit by triple E-infected mosquitoes every year. However, very few become symptomatic, and fewer still develop severe disease, which is possible and can be fatal. Absent all the other information, it sounds like people who test positive often die.
Based on the cited research, that does not appear to be the case – a handy bit of truth if someone in the Public Health Industrial Complex decides to get rich selling tests for EEE and the media and politicians decide to play along.
