Another scarecrow is here. This is also how the news about the fact that there is a patient with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in the hospital in León, Spain, as reported by the server CNN Prima News. The virus of this kind of disease is mainly found in Africa, Asia, the Balkans, possibly in Eastern Europe. After the experience with covid-19, it can be assumed that one case does not have to stay and an unstoppable wave can be unleashed. Mainly in the media space.
The disease comes from ticks
After two and a half years of daily reporting on the number of infected people, most of society has lost interest in monitoring any other diseases. People are fed up with hysteria, they also have a lot of distrust given the lies that have come out about covid-19. And that’s the main thing in connection with the vaccine, which was originally supposed to prevent the transmission of the disease, but in the end it is not able to prevent even a severe course of the disease in some cases. If the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever spread, however, the impacts would be considerably greater.

As CNN Prima News writes, the disease, manifested by fever, chills, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting or bleeding, has a mortality rate of up to 40 percent. The disease is mainly transmitted by ticks, but transmission through the blood of an infected animal or person is not excluded, reports CNN Prima News. Infected it is also recognizable by congested conjunctivae and pharynx. As he states World Health Organization in severe cases, bleeding from the gums, nose, or bladder and intestines also occurs. Sudden liver or lung failure may also occur.
Pharmaceutical company profits
All this inspires great respect, even considering that there is still no vaccination against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Doctors can only suppress the symptoms of the disease, as the CNN Prima News server reminds. This creates another opportunity for pharmaceutical companies. They are apparently in for another successful period after they have significantly increased its profits thanks to the covid-19 vaccine. As he writes Medical journal, the American group Pfizer had the second highest turnover last year. Revenues topped $81 billion, nearly doubling year-over-year.

Pfizer’s profit was almost 22 billion dollars (roughly 517 billion crowns) and it was a year-on-year increase of 140 percent. According to the Zdravotnický deník website, other manufacturers of vaccines against covid-19 have also improved significantly. She jumped the most in the rankings Moderna, which had a net profit of $12.2 billion last year (almost 287 billion crowns). While a year earlier, the company recorded a loss of 747 million dollars (about 17.5 billion crowns). Another disease that has currently appeared in Europe may move the ranking even more significantly in the future.
