A Pa. woman first on the scene of last week’s lab monkey truck crash near Danville is now the center of online conspiracy theories after falling ill. The Daily Mail reports the woman, Michele Fallon who lives near Danville, Pa., is now suffering symptoms after one of the cynomolgus macaque monkeys “hissed” in her face. On her Facebook page and in interviews, Fallon said she suddenly developed a cough, runny nose and pink-eye the day following the accident. The pink-eye became so bad, she sought emergency room treatment at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, the Daily Mail reported. According to

Where's the conspiracy? Terrified monkey from a breed known for spreading disease through its bodily fluids spits on woman and . . . she gets sick.

This story reminded me of true story about how monkeys were being used, very close to the national capitol, to do experimental research for the Ebola virus.

Sounds planned... a little TOO convenient. (There are many, many reasons I don't trust or believe the media or our Government).

The monkeys reportedly cost $10,000 each and they killed them all. A $million wiped out. Why?

I can guarantee this much. If I’m driving and see a truckload of escaping monkeys in front of me I’m not going to chase them.

Probably a better end for the monkeys than what they were heading for.
The cover story is weak. Another part of our govt. run amok.

IIRC, these were lab monkeys being transported to a different location. Being lab monkeys, they would have been exposed to only God knows what kind of diseases and other contaminants. I bet she did indeed pick something up from one of those monkeys, and the only conspiracy is the one the media is still engaged in. Protect the rotten and corrupt who work anywhere in DC.

Think of Democrats as a monkey truck crash and you won't be far wrong. It will help you avoid all the hissing and spitting when you try unsuccessfully to actually help them.

There is a YouTube video that goes into this woman's FaceBook page.

Pennsylvania is an important state. Are the monkeys still registered for their mail-in ballots?

As soon as I heard of this truck crash with a load of infected lab monkeys, I immediately thought of that self-important, obnoxious, sociopath Mengele Fraud. He's planning on spreading another DANGEROUS virus, bacteria, etc. as an agent for control of all the population that are figuring out his evil plans. May God have Mercy on us all, as we figure out their EVIL plans.

Why wasn't the trailer marked with hazard signs? If you or I transport hazardous materials in specific quantities, we are required to put placards on our vehicles. If we are caught without the the placards, we can face fines or worse. We are also supposed to have a spill containment plan.
Where are the placards? Did the driver even know what he was transporting so that he could protect himself? Was there a containment plan for an event such as the one that happened? How would other drivers know to stay away from the contents of the trailer? Don't say "common sense." Some people are helpful by nature, as the women in question seems to be. She never suspected such a hazard; she didn't know to stay away from it.
This trailer might as well have been loaded with venomous snakes.

"Twelve Monkeys" becomes reality. Is this another of Dr. Faucistein's projects? Isn't this how the Planet of the Apes started?

#2, did you even bother to read your own link? The monkeys arrived to the US carrying a strain of Ebola. No one was doing research on them.
As for why shoot the monkeys? They carry any number of diseases that can pass to humans, even discounting whatever was done to them in the lab. Also, recall Charla Nash, the poor woman who was viciously attacked by her friend's pet chimp. Even a small primate can maim you horribly.

Everybody’s got something to hide, except me and my monkey.

How odd - early news reports did not mention that a motorist had contact with one of the monkeys. Now the woman has odd health problems and the media wants to frame it as a conspiracy.
