Who knows what they have now? Sooner or later something bad is likely to happen. Or be made to happen.
So in 1950 the biological control agent, Myxoma virus, was introduced to Australia's mainland.
Myxomatosis, the disease caused by the Myxoma virus, occurs naturally in South American cottontail rabbits.
Once infected, the rabbits develop lesions filled with mucus. The mucus accumulates under the rabbit's skin, leading to internal swelling. Most rabbits die of haemorrhage and seizures within 10 days.
Initially, myxomatosis caused enormous reductions in rabbit numbers. In some areas 99 per cent of the rabbits were killed.
However, with the virus spread by mosquitoes, fatality rates varied across the country. In arid areas, where mosquitoes cannot survive, myxomatosis did not spread well.
The virus' toxicity has also reduced over time.
"Most of the strains circulating now kill about 40 per cent of rabbits that are infected," says Mutze.
Since colonisation, about 100 of Australia’s unique flora and fauna species have been wiped off the planet. The rate of loss, which is as comprehensive as anywhere else on Earth, has not slowed over the past 200 years.
Why are the losses happening so fast, and why are so many experts frustrated at the failure to reverse the decline?
Anticoagulant rodenticides are mouse and rat poisons which work as blood thinners. A lethal dose can cause an animal to die by excessive bleeding from small cuts or internal bleeding and bruising. They are especially effective at killing rodents because they don’t make the rodent feel sick until several days after it has eaten a lethal dose.
Unfortunately, this can create a serious problem for native animals which may eat the dead and dying rodents. Poisoned mice and rats have slower reaction times, spend more time in open areas and are more active during the day (Cox & Smith, 1992). All of these behaviours make rodents easier prey and increase the chance that a predator will catch them. Some of the newer “second generation” anticoagulant rodenticides take a long time to break down. They can remain in the liver for long periods of time – sometimes well over a year. This allows them to move up the food chain and accumulate in the bodies of predatory birds, such as Southern Boobook owls and mammals which eat poisoned rodents.
The Australian government wants to kill two million feral cats by next year — and it wants to do it by airdropping poisonous sausages. There are currently an estimated 2 to 6 million free-roaming cats across the country, and officials say they are threatening native wildlife populations.

Place your bets folks!
In other words you can bank on more coming out. Here is Chuck Todd talking to Fauci and they already have the set up. "It will be caused by climate change.".

They found out how to really control us by using fear and politics disguised as science.

Now, this mousepox virus is of a concern to me because I am rickymouse.
You seem fine with man made killer virus bio weapons, but your problem is with the guy who is willing to share the story? Curious what is considered dangerous vs wholly acceptable.

Stop listening to Alex Jones videos and you will be just fine.
Sooner or later something bad is always likely to happen, that's just the way the world spins.

We're headed for monthly crises, it's good for ratings and keeping the sheep afraid.
They may actually be real crises as the virus mutates in only 10 hours.
The vaccinations according to some will drive mutations instead of stopping the virus.
