Today we're talking about the hantavirus, but I want to be clear that I'm not covering it to spread fear.

0:20.0

If you remember, I never got the COVID vaccine, I was always against lockdowns as well. Really from the beginning, I challenged the status quo. So I'm not doing this. I'm not covering it to make you scared. If anything, I'm covering it because it's not as scary as the way the media is portraying it. Yes, there's a very high fatality rate about 40%, but it's not
