    The Homegrown American Strain of Ebola



    I’m traveling right now so I’m doing another fan-written video. Jesse at Parody Error Films reached out to me with this script, saying it didn’t fit his channel’s typical content, and I was happy to use it. Check out his channel! https://www.youtube.com/@parodyerrorfilms7722

    What other mistakes might USAMRIID have made during the decontamination?

    That Russian politician is named Nikolai Valuev, and yes, he really does look like that. He was the world heavyweight boxing champion before getting into politics.

    Thanks to Hemlox for editing this video! I can write whatever I want here because nobody reads the description.

      btw, rompun is a brand-name xylazine. Xylazine is largely uncontrolled now and was uncontrolled back then. A lot of American street drugs now contain xylazine – it apparently mixes favorably with fentanyl. No idea why I'm highlighting this tiny thing.

      The line "A war in the Philippines, who cares about a bunch of monkeys?" was REALLY tasteless in a completely accidental way and I love you for being pure enough to not see how terrible it sounds hahaha

      I’m from Reston, where this story happened. FYI there’s still an animal testing facility in the area, but it doesn’t come up on google maps. When I was in 8th grade my friends and I were walking through the woods near the old testing site (the woods near Isaac Newton Square), and stumbled upon a building with armed guards. There were dudes in white lab coats feeding birds while taking notes. It was bizarre. And that’s not the only secretive place in Reston. There’s a very active field office of the CIA right by the Target in the south of town. That’s more of a teaching facility for field agent education.

      So its one of those serious, but not really serious cases.
      Frankly this is positive mild compared to the viral releases from soviet biolabs in central asia

      Hi clinical microbiologist here and I can attest pseudomonas aeruginosa has a wildly distinct smell (and look!). It has like a grape or wine smell like you said. It smells pretty alright!

      This was a very interesting episode. I lived through the time.
      He wrote in a way that took advantage of your wit😊
