So why is corporate media so concerned about leprosy?
The media’s hook, which is difficult to identify, is that there appears to be a new etiology of the disease, meaning a few people recently seem to be catching (or showing) leprosy without the usual causes, like cuddling with armadillos. For some baffling reason. Again, from the Guardian:
A change? The now-infamous Research Letter’s patient lived with his leprosy “symptoms” for five years before going to see his dermatologist. I started wondering: what caused things to suddenly get bad enough for him to go to the doctor now? And, why are the numbers of cases ticking up (a little)? I dug some more.
The very first footnote cited in the Research Letter linked a 2017 scientific article on leprosy that mentions this important fact:
(“Anergy” is defined as the “absence of an immune response to a particular disease.”)
Ah. Well. Isn’t that interesting. Immune problems. The CNN article also reported, way down in the story: “Roughly 95% of people aren’t susceptible to the infection because their immune systems are genetically programmed to resist it.”
So almost all regular folks are immune, but … immunocompromised people with T-cell impairment are at higher risk of contracting the disease — or having a previously harmless, dormant infection flare up.
Gosh. What does that sound like?
It only took a little digging. Take a gander at the title of this peer-reviewed PLOS journal article, published yesterday:
Uh-oh! That doesn’t sound good! (Writing this, I felt a little disappointment because I know that, by this time, the connection to jabs did not surprise you. It’s getting hard to keep up the drama these days.)
Anyway, I’ll let the study’s first two paragraphs speak for themselves:
Our landscaper with latent leprosy that just flared up in 2022 neatly fits the study’s description of events, wouldn’t you say? But none of the media reports could make the same connection that I easily made with just a few minutes’ mild effort this morning.
And — particularly take note of the third sentence in the second paragraph: “BCG vaccination is associated with the development of leprosy in a small proportion of healthy contacts of people with leprosy within twelve weeks of administration.”
How about that?
The researchers slapped that warning about leprosy vaccines right after explaining that the covid vaccines can spur a latent infection. They seem to be warning that jabbed people might not want to take the leprosy vaccine, unless I’m reading that wrong. That warning might be helpful and important information to include in widespread media reports about leprosy outbreaks. What do you think?
Given past experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if this paper is taken down any minute now. You might want to save a PDF copy if it interests you. Here’s the link: https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0011493.
So what can we conclude from all this? First of all, leprosy is curable. It’s hard to catch. It’s super rare, and it only threatens immunocompromised people. Second, you may want to hesitate before taking the leprosy vaccine, especially if you’ve been jabbed. And third, marvel at the media’s brazenness to keep using this same fear-mongering tactic on us over and over. It won’t work on you, because you are thinking for yourself, or you wouldn’t be reading this. But consider that the media wouldn’t use this disease psyop unless it worked on some proportion of the population.
Who are these people falling for these disease panic stories? Why do they still believe, even after all we’ve been through? These are unanswerable questions.
I’ll end with this link to Peggy Hall’s brilliant debunking of the leprosy psyop, which is a little long (about 45 minutes) but is very entertaining, and includes a different take and different information than today’s post did.

☕️ HANSEN’S PSYOP ☙ Saturday, August 5, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠
Corporate media exploded with news of a leprosy outbreak in Florida. But doctors are baffled. I'll give you one guess what connection I found. And tough talk from the Chinese about our recent record.
