- In late August of 1999, an infectious disease specialist in Queens, New York reports that she has two elderly patients with neurological disorders. More cases crop up in the following days, several patients die. Initial tests confirm that New York has been hit by an outbreak of the mosquito-borne illness, St. Louis encephalitis.
Nearly a month later, exotic birds begin to die at the Bronx Zoo. Zoo officials discover they have been infected with West Nile, a virus never before diagnosed in the Western Hemisphere. With this new information, epidemiologists studying the cases of St. Louis encephalitis are lead to a different and shocking conclusion, the virus is spreading to humans.

Unfortunately, they failed to tell the true story and give Dr. McNamara the credit she deserves for discovering the cause as West Nile Virus. Initially, the CDC was unwilling to listen to her or even take her phone calls since she is “just a veterinarian.”
The cdc still hasnt even isolated covid.nowhere has.
Did you read "Secret Agents" by Madeline Drexler? It discusses this outbreak and comes to the same conclusion.
Viral encephalitis?
@@missbutterfree I have not. I actually had the privilege of meeting Dr McNamara at a function where she told her side of the story.

A few years back I was working at a wildlife rehabilitation center and we had a bald eagle come in with west nile virus. Poor guy got to us wayyyyy too late for us to save him
I remember this. It's been in the news off and on over the last 20 years.
In July of 2002, I left San Diego and was taking a tour at the Navy Base outside of Memphis. After being there a month or so, hundreds of birds covered the ground and streets on the base. It was as if they fell out of the sky. I believe they called them gackles. For the first couple of days after this had happened, no one said anything. Finally it was like the calvary swooped in collecting them all and sending out bulletins regarding West Nile Virus. Several horses at the nearby navy stables died. After watching this show, it kind of makes me mad. Our children were running all over the place outside, our dogs, I was outside working in my new yard... other than telling us not to touch the dead birds, we weren't told we were potentially in danger until much later when a little boy got it. He was sickly as I recall. Had a medical condition that made his health fragile. When he died we all panicked until the weather cooled off.
Grackles? But yeah, they should have warned you. I get that they probably wanted to avoid panic, but not taking action to save lives and letting peoples' kids or other loves ones die is a great way to kill people's loyalty to the country.
Outside of Memphis? Sounds like you were touring NAS Millington. I'm not sure about 2002, but several years before that - there were A LOT of people at this base. 1 side was active, and the other side was training for all 'Aviation' rates. Meaning, the average age of the area would be between 20-30 years old and physically fit. People who would not normally develop any symptoms from this disease. It makes sense that no one was really worried??
Last year a small body of water had fish made all the fish die and thousands of fish died in the water they apparently bloated up and died
One of these will be about Covid soon
I was thinking the same thing
Spot on 🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I was thinking the same thing while rewatching these
The scamdemic
I remember hearing news reports about this as a kid. This is why it always p's me off hen I hear the MFWICs talk about how we could have never seen covid coming.
In some ways the system was a victim of its own success. Since past crises like West Nile or Ebola had been contained before they got out of control the assumption was that covid would be the same.
@@florinivan6907 Except they FAILED to follow/utilize appropriate & effective protocols at a CRITICAL time and ALLOWED it to spread!💯💯🙄🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️🤬
Its crazy to think that I was a little kid when the wast Nile virus came to the usa but I'm an adult now
I remember this. My mom wouldn't let me pick up any bird feathers because this outbreak. Understandably. I was like 8 though and was sad.
I remember that. I was only 1-2 during this period, but the bird feather ban lasted all my early childhood. I never knew it was provoked by something like this.
Don't pick up any bird feathers PERIOD!!! eww they harbor so many diseases
I remember it too, I was also 8 and have lived in ohio all my life but even though to me this seemed like 1000's of miles away from my family I remember how worried a lot of the adults in my town were about this. I also had a habit of collecting feathers, and at first I didn't understand why my father wouldn't let collect them anymore since I never cared too much for watching the news. I didn't understand that there was a real danger with my feather collecting until he sat me down and actually MADE me watch one of the updates about this outbreak and I was so terrified that I could get sick too that I actually burned all the feathers I'd collected over the last couple of weeks because he said it would only take a single infected feather to make me sick.
Oh my goodness, this was 22 years ago.
I think it is today
All these mosquito-borne viruses that have come to the US (West Nile, Chikungunya, Zika) are why I wear long sleeves, socks, and no open toed shoes, even in the hot summer. Even though I'm in the South and we do have mosquito control programs, bites can still happen. If I do get a bite it will be on my hands or arms, somewhere I can see. And even though it sounds paranoid, I always make sure someone else in my family knows if I do still get a mosquito bite. So far so good but at least if something weird were to happen, someone would know to add that to my medical history.
@Nerys Ghemor I have been bitten many times through my clothes by a mosquitos.
Purple Haze Yikes! I can’t say I’ve had that happen yet...
@@DIYsober I've had them bite through clothes too, even a jumper, if the fabric is close enough to your skin they can get their sucker through and bite you.
Mosquitos are part of why I don't go outside unless I have to
My son does the same. Even 90 degree heat and he's in pants and long sleeves. For some reason, mosquitoes really like him, hence the long clothes.
Here at our area the first guess would be tick bites. Local ticks have Lyme and viral encephalitis as well.
I’m actually surprised they didn’t think of Lyme Disease or POW first. NYC Metro is endemic for both of them via ticks. Then again, we’re now endemic for West Nile Virus too.
Although it is possible that the patients didn’t have contact with ticks.
It’s strange why there is no word on whether they interacted with health services in the eastern hemisphere. It would be logical to take advantage of their experience, rather than develop anti-epidemiological measures from scratch.
Watching and a mosquito flying right in front of me!
Amazing medical TV show
I remember this. I was in Kansas City at the time. Everyone was using shitloads of DEEP. I think most of the big cities went on missions to eradicate mosquitoes just to be safe.
When paralysis struck tracy it had never been seen in west nile virus? Didn't the first victim have paralysis?
Not the legs. And he was much older I think.
Yes we had West Nile killed birds in Tampa, 1999. I kept birds and they didn't get sick because of their type.
I love all these shows. It teaches us a lot about all these horrible sickneses
Yes! My bro is travelling, one of his digs had black slimy mould in the shower, but after watching one of these videos I was able to warn him about the danger (needless to say he didn’t stay).
Dam that's some big mosquitos. Down south here in Louisiana the mosquitos aren't that big, but we've had ppl with westnile, and our neighborhood ditches are sprayed on a regular basis. We are advised not to have small collections of water cause they prefer that over large amounts of water. If I get bit I spray the bite with alcohol. Our pets have to be given a heart worm vaccine in case they get bit, cause it causes heart worms. I sometimes pore bleach in my ditches. I spray myself with alcohol if I have to go out at night, and I bring my spray bottle of alcohol with me. Mississippi has huge black mosquitos.
Watching in 2020, so really, it’s the Coronavirus of the 90’s....😷
Oh noes! Better get mask!😷
The US used to take infectious diseases much more seriously. But now surrendered to Covid19 without much of a fight.
The majority of American's do take it serious, sadly it falls on the government to take the steps to prevent it from spreading into a pandemic. We all know the story on that, most understand why it took off so fast and we still have fall flu season starting. Be safe, if the government won't do anything to protect you, you can protect yourself and others by wearing a mask.
That's down to the current administration....just sayin'...
It's because the stupid trump administration and fox news politicized it like they do with literally everything. If you ever want to stop something from being put in to action, just politicize it.
@@markusallport1276 the mask doesnt protect u.it protects others from ur droplets.cdc report shows it reduces spread by 0.5-1.9%.
@@ananthropomorphictalkinggo6641 u are aware trump isnt ur pres anymore right?
I got West Nile in the mid 00's. It's a nasty illness, highest temp was 104. Took a lot of ice baths to lower my temp, not sure what meds I was on. At the time, I didnt know how lucky I was. I lived in southwest MN at the time
Our younger daughter & I both got West Nile in 2003. It truly was scary. I dont recall half of it. Colorado was spraying to keep the mosquitoes down, but it still got many ppl here.
@@broomrider2697 Bioterror and biowarfare. People will never stop it.
@@tuckerbugeater Sadly many people don't even believe it's a real thing. They just want to keep their heads in the sand, stay on the couch, keep those reality shows on their TV non-stop, etc. The decline began long long ago
WOW.... 104 Temperature is very bad.. i had 104 temp one time in my life and it was when i was like 6 or 7 years old. i had strep throat really bad.... when my mom saw my temperature we went to the doctor immediately
"Cars and stop signs" and you were doing what exactly while your child was struggling?
I'm sick
Infected human or mosquito from Africa, Eastern Europe or Middle East carried by plane? - I mean both international airports are in Queens - La Guardia is in Northern Queens
Ethiopian or Egyptair through JFK was likely
Seems to be like Legionnaires disease
@32:34 the guy is spraying with more then a little wind just to get the job done! That's not right someone should have reported him.
I have no idea what you're talking about
I am a retired nurse of 30 years and have been exposed to many diseases in that time. To me viral encephalitis is the most scary as by the time it has been diagnosed so many people have been exposed. Antibiotics do work on viruses so even if people survive they will have life long physical issues. You can protect yourself from AIDS but not from diseases such as this. Once a person is diagnosed they are placed in isolation but before diagnosis many people are at risk!
What? No, that's not true at all. Antibiotics do NOT work on Viruses. You were a nurse? How on earth would you say that antibiotics work on viruses as a nurse????
And just how do antibiotics fight viruses?
You mean that antibiotics don’t work on viruses.
@@crystalprice1942 she meant do not ... read in context
That was 20 years ago. Now they are everywhere. The mosquito's in question come out during the day, and possibly also at night. I contracted Lyme disease and I was in a huge amount of mosquito's working outside, before I was diagnosed. So do or can they also carry lyme?
You're lucky in one aspect, it's not spread by mosquitoes. The bad news dogs and cats can transmit it.
Lyme disease is spread by ticks. It is therefore important to wear insect repellent in tick habitats, and properly remove it as soon as it is noticed.
The classic bullseye rash (erythema migrans) doesn't always appear but is a telltale symptom. Early antibiotics usually result in cure. I was one of the lucky ones who got the rash and on Doxycycline in less than a week.
@@SimonBissell Good info thanks
I just have to say that I was camping in Maine about 6 years ago and one night I was laying in my tent and I felt something was stuck to my chin (more underneath it) and I tried to scrape it off. I assumed it was just dirt... it was small. The next morning I went to the showers and when I got to the mirror I could see what I thought was a small scab under my chin.. naturally I had to pick it so I pulled out my tweezers and grabbed hold... pulled and realized when it came out it was as a tick. It didn’t look at all like a tic I used to pull off my neighbors dog in South Carolina. Anyhow.. I went on about my camping trip and I developed a bullseye rash. I had no idea what that meant. Well two years later I was diagnosed with fibro. And my Lyme test came back negative. I know I am misdiagnosed but I also don’t think it’s Lyme. I truly wholeheartedly believe that the levels of arsenic that the FDA said was ok to treat town water... affected me. But dang after seeing everyone’s comments I wonder.. maybe I do have a Lyme type issue. I think Fibro is honestly a NOS diagnosis meaning they don’t know what the hell is wrong with you... and your not worth figuring it out. I can say my symptoms are awful. I still work full time and I take care of my family and I push through. But I’m pretty miserable. I have awful biting stinging pains down my right arm and my left leg. Weird. And sometimes when the burning is really bad, both my forearms feel like they are about to deliver gigantic babies. At the top of my spine I a get a huge swollen lump and my heart palpitations are insane. But I say nothing and keep on pushing. No one cares to really figure it out
Also I think because Lyme tics are out generally associated with Maine.. most doctors won’t be test for it anyway. We need a doctor house! Haha
God Bless the greatest NY mayor ever Guliani
Terrifying
I have always believed that all luggage/baggage of any kind should be fumigated - once they go onto the belt, instead of heading to the unloading dock, they should be passed through an enclosed area where fumigation begins, and then out to the area to be loaded onto the plane. This would also discourage people from trying to sneak in live animals like snakes and turtles, and remove any pest from plants.
Well, this aged well.
don't worry
Maybe they shoulda worn a mask.....
Yes.cdc report shows it reduces spread by 0.5-1.9%.👍
I fear mosquitos and ticks. I’ve had a virus try to kill me. It left me very changed and disabled. It’s no joke.
I'm with you, I had babesiosis from a tick. I almost died 3x while in the ICU and had acute kidney failure.
Watching this I thought can you imagine coming home from work, and being asked what you did that day you respond, "I sorted mosquitos."?
@@autodogdact3313 What a horror for you! I’m so sorry. I only nearly died once from my virus. :) I’m very careful about ticks. I spend a lot of time outdoors. Scary.
In not endemic to Este Europe. We had an epidemic in 1996 in Romania before 1996 no cases are known
I'm curious to know what the lasting effects of all of the chemicals that were sprayed are.
This is Like House, On an Overdose of vicodin.....
Regarding Tracy's case, I find it odd they didn't consider her immune system overreacting to WNV being the cause of the paralysis. Did they evaluate her for immune/inflammatory disorders? Or Porphyria? I have both. And when I get the flu or covid, I get leg and respiratory weakness.
Rudy Giuliani used to be a respectable and effective guy. What the heck happened to him? Did he bump his head falling down all those rabbit holes?
Deer ticks. It wasn't only the mosquitos. It was the deer ticks. It wss all over the news in the 1980s. I know because like I said 2 months ago I was in prison in Bedford, Westchester County.
the mosquito: public enemy #1
A beaten egg yolk is a natural non-toxic treatment that can be used in stagnant water where mosquitos lay their eggs, this breaks the water tension, so the mosquito larvae can't breathe and so suffocate and die...
What? That doesn’t make sense. Like how many egg yolks would you need to treat a pond? Otherwise, just dump the stagnant water, or channel it away.
The government of🇮🇳 has Lost control over the PANDEMIC and the ECONOMY......
Pls prayers🙏 for us All❤
I truly hope covid doesn't act like West Nile. It'll never end.
@tell me the truth if people listen to the vaccine experts that is..
@@adamcleary7756 let's be honest. How likely is that to happen?
@@Springtime562 why get vaccinated when people still get corona with both vaccines and the booster? LOL wheres the logic... make it make sense please.
This comment didn’t age well 😕
@tell me the truth Was West Nile a lab leak too? All these weird viruses seem a bit suspicious. Vax up and make sure you go insane.
35:16 that's the most swollen IV bag I've ever seen
It’s soon to be 2024. Do we have a vaccine for West Niles Virus?
Shipping containers spread 🦟In Europe these days🤷🏼♂️
This one is kinda mass hysteria, yes you can be bitten by a mosquito, but it’s kinda easy to avoid too at the same time
They can do all this yet they still cant isolate covid.
They can easily create bioweapons.
Mosquitos were the first thing out of Pandora’s Box. 2023 … West Nile is all over Canada as well. This will only get worse with climate change… dengue fever, yellow fever … 🇨🇦
Lights and siren sound in portant
mosquito😟😭😭
In Maine collecting rainwater is highly illegal...it's considered having an illegal reservoir...
That’s crazy!
Interestingly, here in Australia, well NSW it is very much encouraged to have tank water as well new houses getting water tanks😊
Thanks for sharing this understanding of the motivation behind the rule.

they Learned nothing from this /2020 Covid-19 Pandemic did not get even this level of attention
So was this the COVID practice run?
Nah they couldn’t control what they have cooked up properly so they just weaponised the flu.
How come we have West Nile vaccines for horses but not humans?
West Nile died off after killing the birds as a host. We exterminated the mosquitoes and West Nile didn't need a vaccine it was short lived. Also people didn't get it so much as birds.
This attitude is the reason the sars cov I 2 has ravaged new york
Dont forget to wear ur mask.cdc shows it reduces the spread by 0.5-1.9%.👍
@stopgotdamn deletingmycomments some people can’t wear mask due to certain medical conditions. Besides, wearing a mask doesn’t reduce the spread, it only protects people around you from you 😒

imagine PLAYBOY BLASIO handling this
Why is this played in 2023? Scare tactics? This video covers soomething 25 years ago.
Right as I just turned 8, in August that summer, I noticed helicopters spraying a mist despite being hundreds of feet high.
Because it was discussed in the news about the aerial spraying I rushed inside but not before I got a bit itchy on my face. But that was likely psychosomatic as I overheard them discussing the effects of the spraying.
Again failure of CDC
time to reach out to God almighty and Jesus.
I have no idea what you think that will do, other than comfort your mind.
I am studying her body language and she looks like she is lying and nodding her head up and down like trying to convince her audiences.
