Fox News anchor John Roberts revealed he will be away from the news desk as he battles a severe case of malaria.
Roberts, 68, announced his diagnosis on Tuesday after viewers noticed he was not on the airwaves during his 1pm America Reports time slot.
'I somehow came down with a severe case of Malaria,' the veteran anchor wrote on X.'I can honestly say that I am the only person in the hospital with Malaria. In fact, one of my doctors said I'm the first case he has ever seen.'

Of course they turn this into a Global Warming Story. NEWS FLASH!! Temperatures are no different, today than when I was a teenager (I'm in my late sixties)
More than likely, he contracted it because Biden let un-vetted illegals into the country, CARRYING Malaria. These either found a local spot to reproduce, or it was a direct transmission from an infected person to the News Anchor.

How itegvolves in the anopheles mosquito is fascinating. Only the female transmits it to humans. Here is everything you didn't want to know about Malaria

Whats the vector Victor?
How many other cases in the nearby areas? Who are THEY? Where did THEY get it? Is it a central/south American strain? Far east Strain? African strain? Who is responsible for the garbage and feces, uncleared overgrowth and un drained swamps? DC and NYC used to have serious Malaria and Cholera problems, wealthy folks shipped their families out for the summers....to the Hampton's and the Adirondacks

Quinine sulfate is a common treatment, although some strains of the malaria plasmid have acquired resistance to chloroquine. There are some newer treatments, in conjunction with a couple of antibiotics.
One of the first things is to decide where the disease was acquired, which relates to how to treat it, since come areas have resistant strains.
Has he been to SE Asia recently? Thailand on vacation or someplace warm and tropical on assignment?

If the disease was from a non-chloroquine resistant area, pretty much the standard treatment is HCQ....which was banned (yet effective) for the treatment of the Wuhan virus.
HCQ is "dangerous and deadly" according to Dr. Fauci for Wuhan virus, but effective and safe for malaria.
When does Fauci go to prison?

One of my favorites. I wondered where he was. Being the end of summer I thought getting in some vacation time. Wish him a speedy recovery. Look forward to his healthy return.

Malaria is a nasty disease and, once the body fights it off, it can lie dormant and reoccur.

Why can't it be The Mouth Crockett, The Twit Cortez or Mizzuz Clinton who comes down with malaria? Some chronically annoying personage like that.....

Drink water. Mind your temperature aka keep the fever down. Rest. Eat healthy food. Wait. Get emergency attention promptly if needed.
I lived in Papua New Guinea. I took chloroquine as a preventative. Then stopped it. Think I had a mild case of malaria once. Short lived. Bloody mosquitoes!
It isn’t the end of the world if you look after yourself. Praying doesn’t hurt! Never does!

Malaria used to be endemic in Washington DC until they drained the swap and got rid of the mosquitoes. But obviously we have to do a little more swamp draining.

many years ago, chris matthews travelled to africa, and contracted malaria-which is incurable afaik.
fear not, in prior centuries, english colonists drowned their sorrows in gin and tonic.
perhaps mr roberts can obtain hydrochloroquine? iirc, pdt ordered it deployed to the states, for free;
biden took away every bit of it.... [some euas were only just revoked by rfk jr. ]
we've been told dr peter mccullough of the wellness co. has expertise in this area of public health.

Was he bitten by one of Bill Gates' mosquito friends? Or were they being fitted with another disease? I forget.

It will be a long but positive road for Roberts. I wish him all the best. His chances of recovery are good but it won't come easy. Having traveled internationally to tropical areas during as part of my work, my company's medical team always encouraged us to receive anti-malaria medications before our travels. Traveling to places like Africa, India, SE Asia, and the DR came with a risk and we all knew it. It was a miracle that I didn't contract malaria but the gastro-intestinal diseases I came back with were quite enough. When I pray to God, I sometimes ask, why did he put mosquitos on the planet - for the purpose of controlling the human population?

Cinchona bark powder. It is the origin of quinine, it is what HCQ is copying, but the natural original is better - it has multiple ways to deal with malaria and also something to cope with state of mind (HCQ gives nightmares). Doxycycline will rip up your gut and make you nauseated. Then there is that cocktail mixture. But the original cure for malaria is cinchona bark powder! they turned to alternatives in the world wars bc all the cinchona trees were under the control of the Axis. Not anymore.

Stop the immigration! These people have a country let them & their diseases stay there. I can't believe how stupid this country has become that they can't figure it out. Out House & Senate looks like the United Nations.
