Nightmare Cruise: Passengers Held Captive At Sea Amid Spread Of Deadly Virus

Some are dead, others are ill, and the rest are growing increasingly anxious.

In a story that evokes some bad COVID-era memories, passengers aboard the Hondius luxury cruise vessel are being quarantined on the ship as the World Health Organization provides updates on the situation.

Here’s what the Daily Caller reported:

The Dutch cruise ship requested aid after making its way to Cape Verde, off West Africa’s coast, with 150 aboard, The Associated Press (AP) reported. Laboratory testing verified one case of hantavirus and reported five more suspected cases and three confirmed deaths, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a May 3 post. One person remains in intensive care in South Africa. The WHO said two crew members required urgent medical care. Passengers and crew members remain on the vessel, and are awaiting permission from local authorities in Cape Verde to evacuate the ship, Oceanwide Expeditions said.

The Hantavirus is mainly spread by rodent fecal matter and urine and can cause severe sickness and death, and may present itself through symptoms such as “hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome,” according to the CDC.

The report went on to detail the condition of those infected thus far:

Officials said a 70-year-old Dutch man died April 11 after suffering from a headache, fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea, according to the AP. His body removed from the ship two weeks after. His 69-year-old wife fell at a South African airport and later died in the hospital, according to the South African Department of Health. A sick British man was evacuated from the ship April 27, and is the sole person to have tested positive for hantavirus, officials said. He remains in isolation and in critical condition at a South African Hospital, local health authorities said.

A German national was the third passenger pronounced dead and his body is still on the ship, according to Oceanwide Expeditions

The situation has fueled significant discussion on social media:

Disgusting way to treat those people. They've surely got a hospital on the islands, or fly them to Lisbon. Don't treat fare paying customers like this! Won't be ever travelling on MV Hondius or sister ships.

For two years, Maria denied that Covid was an airborne disease. Hard to put a lot of trust in what she says.

The New York Post provided additional details:

The suspected hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship, which has killed three people and sickened at least seven others, has two likely causes — and both are bad news for the 150 passengers on board, experts said.

The more likely scenario would be passengers contracting the virus from the feces, urine or saliva of infected rats or mice.

That’s the usual transmission vector, according to physician Zaid Fadul, a former Air Force flight surgeon — although the World Health Organization insisted Tuesday that no rodents have been found on the stranded liner.

But there’s one strain of the hantavirus that has an alarming exception — and the one that the WHO conceded “can’t be ruled out.”

“The Andes virus — that one specific subtype of the hantavirus — in Argentina, where they were, is the one that’s transmitted person-to-person,” Fadul said.

“And that’s where a lot of anxiety in this case is coming from.”

This news coverage includes remarks from one of the stranded passengers:

Can I just say one thing…..

I will be stocking up on IVERMECTIN, thank you very much!

And I will make sure it is American-made!

Warning: Most Ivermectin Sold In America Isn’t Made In America

In the spring of 2020, Dr. Peter McCullough sat across from patients who were terrified.

They were sick. They were scared. And the official answer from the medical establishment was: go home, wait, and hope for the best.

Dr. McCullough wasn't willing to accept that.

While other doctors kept their heads down and followed orders, he did something radical — he actually looked for solutions. He pored over studies. He talked to colleagues around the world. He treated patients with every tool available to him.

And what he found was something that powerful people did not want you to know about.

A Drug That's Been Hiding In Plain Sight

It's not new. It's not experimental. It's not some fringe remedy cooked up in somebody's garage.

Ivermectin has been prescribed by doctors for over 30 years. It won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. It has been used by hundreds of millions of people around the world to wipe out parasite infections, treat stubborn skin conditions, and restore people's health when nothing else worked.

And now cutting-edge research is showing something even more exciting — potential applications that scientists are only beginning to fully understand.

Dr. McCullough knew about this. And he told his patients.

For that, he was attacked. Ridiculed. Investigated.

He told the truth anyway.

That's the kind of doctor he is. And that's the kind of company The Wellness Company is built around — doctors who put you above their own careers.

But Here's The Problem Nobody Is Talking About

Let's say you're convinced. Let's say you want ivermectin for yourself and your family.

Where do you get it?

Here's something that should make you stop and think: 75% of the ivermectin sold globally comes from Asia. When you order from most online pharmacies, you have no idea where that product was actually manufactured, what quality controls were in place, or what's really inside that capsule.

You're trusting your health — and your family's health — to a supply chain you know absolutely nothing about.

That's not a risk worth taking.

So We Did Something About It

The Wellness Company spent the time, the money, and the effort to source ivermectin manufactured right here in the United States of America.

Not repackaged here. Not "distributed" here.

Made here. In American facilities. Under American quality standards. With American accountability.

When you hold a bottle of The Wellness Company ivermectin, you know exactly what you're getting — and you know exactly where it came from.

Now Here's Where It Gets Really Good

You'd expect to pay a premium for American-made quality. And most people do.

Walk into most pharmacies right now and you'll pay $5 per tablet for ivermectin. Sometimes more. Often for lower-dose formulas that leave you wondering if you're even getting enough.

Here's what The Wellness Company is offering:

18mg capsules — a higher dose — at just $3.57 per tablet.

Let's do that math slowly, because it's worth it:

Other guys: $5.00 per tablet, lower dose

The Wellness Company: $3.57 per tablet, higher dose

That's not just cheaper. That's better product at a lower price.

One order gets you 84 capsules — a full 6-month supply structured as four 21-day cleanse cycles with 14-day breaks in between. Two fills a year. Simple, clean, done.

The Doctor Who Wouldn't Back Down. The Company That Stood Behind Him.

Dr. McCullough didn't go looking for a fight.

He went looking for answers — for his patients, for his family, and for you.

The Wellness Company was built by people who share that same commitment. People who believe you deserve access to safe, effective, affordable medicine that actually works — without having to fight the system just to get it.

This is that medicine. Made here. Priced right. Backed by doctors who proved they have your back when it mattered most.

Don't Wait On This

Supply of American-made ivermectin is limited by definition — there simply aren't as many domestic manufacturers as there are overseas ones.

When you find American-made quality at a price this low, you stock up.
