UN Spreads Plague
by Christopher A. Ferrara
As the BBC and other major news outlets are reporting, there is now overwhelming evidence that UN “peacekeepers” brought cholera to Haiti during their recent mission there. The result, notes BBC, is “an epidemic which has killed almost 7,000 people.” Cholera was unknown in Haiti before the UN mission, which (says BBC) “failed to screen peacekeepers for cholera and allowed untreated waste from a UN base to be dumped into the main river.” And now “almost 500,000 people — some 5% of the population — have been infected by cholera since the outbreak began in October 2010, according to the Haitian Ministry of Health.”
