Bunny Ebola

I'm not sure why the article, or nearly every article, doesn't mention that this disease that killed almost all the rabbits in Europe and is now working its way across the US, was introduced in Europe by some rich fuck in France who exposed the mean rabbits who were getting into his garden. He, a doctor, didn't know it would spread across his property line.

Even Wikipedia gives him a break - accidental release?, but what is described is only intentional

Prior to this debacle, the guy had Elmer Fudd working for him on this rabbit problem. Elmer ran out of shells, never hitting one rabbit.

They're different diseases. Your The Cut article is about RHDV2 (bunny ebola), while your Wiki article is about myxomatosis (a poxvirus).

Here's the Wiki article on RHDV (rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus) pathogens:

, Elmer Fudd now uses bio-warfare.



Fudd is bweaking bad, vewwy vewwy bad.

First I had heard of either. Either one of the articles I linked or another that I read put the entire hundred million or so dead rabbits at the foot of the single idiot doctor trying to protect his carrots.

Is this this the one that's in the US now?

"a French doctor, annoyed by rabbits stealing from his garden, caught two of them and injected them with myxoma. They bolted, surviving long enough to carry the virus to other rabbits. The disease eventually bloomed across Europe and the United Kingdom, killing almost every rabbit in its path. Eventually, a myxomatosis vaccine was developed, and the disease was more or less brought under control.

Myxomatosis did travel to the United States, but for some reason it never got much of a foothold here."

Yes.

"a French doctor, annoyed by rabbits stealing from his garden, caught two of them and injected them with myxoma. They bolted, surviving long enough to carry the virus to other rabbits.

That is subsequent discussion of historical rabbit viruses, but not the RHDV2 disease we're suffering now.

Well, hell, it would seem this "doctor" is like the goddamn rabbit Frankenstein. What kind of asshole would catch bunnies and inject them with malicious agents? I'll tell you what kind.....somebody like trump or this particular French doctor is who. They both need to be dealt with.
