Top virologist makes stunning claim about what'll happen when Trump takes office as Congo is put on 'max alert' for pandemic
A pro-lockdown
virologist has warned that
Donald Trump faces a torrent of infectious disease outbreaks when he takes office.
The comments from Dr Peter Hotez come as the
Congo is put on 'maximum alert' after a mystery respiratory virus killed nearly 150 people, mostly teenagers.
UN health officials have been sent there to contain the outbreak and prevent it from being a global crisis.
Dr Hotez, a leading supporter of lockdowns and mask mandates during the Covid pandemic, warned there were at least nine infectious diseases currently spreading in the US that could cause another pandemic — in a plea to the Trump administration not to cut disease research funding.
Scientists are currently warning over a surge in
bird flu cases in animals that are
spilling into humans, as well as a
resurgence in measles and
whooping cough linked to falling vaccination rates.
'All that's going to come crashing down on January 21 on the Trump administration. We need a really really good team to be able to handle this.'
