Mr.Zimmer…I’m hoping you will do an article about the current human rabies death in Maryland that has been traced back to an organ donor ( who had died of rabies but that wasn’t discovered till now). Unfortunately I wouldn’t be surprised if more people are dying or have died from undiagnosed rabies. Please google my blog from last year… “Undiagnosed Human Rabies Deaths?” Thank you!

Rabies in the feral cat population is also a major concern. Google “Rabies Outbreak in Westchester County and the Connection to Feral Cats.”

Would that be Dr Patricia Morgan the animal naturopath, homeopath, acupuncturist, and purveyor of miscellaneous quack nostrums?

There is now a new mutant strain of rabies that is able to spread without a bite, is aerosolized and goes right up the nose like the common cold. No vaccines will help you with this one as the antibodies are TOO BIG to get into the CNS. The intersting thing is this new species jumping rabies spreading without a bite appears to be related to the silver haired bat rabies, a 98% lethal strain of rabies that travels up fibroblasts and was teased out of nature with grants for the purpose of biological weapons research. How the 1995 USDA released genetically engineered live rabies pox chimera oral rabies bait vaccines are involved in this new mutant strain is not yet been revealed. However, it is important to heed the warnings of Dr. Treje Traavic that the orphan viruses will be unpredictable and unforseen in their capabilites. So, why those that play genetic roulette with our planet stop helping themselves to rabies. [CZ: That's a pretty remarkable claim to make without a single reference to a peer-reviewed paper. Surely a doctor like yourself would recognize that.]

Is the study still embargoed? The PNAS link doesn’t work…

[CZ: The journal will activate the link as soon as they post the paper. But for some reason they lift the journalism embargo for every paper in a given week on Monday at 3 pm. No idea why they do it this way.]
