The World Health Organization states that the Hendra virus “causes severe and often fatal disease in both infected horses and humans.”
Headache, lightheadedness, chills, fever, myalgia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, respiratory distress, and hypotension are all symptoms of hantavirus.
Similar to rabies, which attacks the central nervous system and results in paralysis, delirium, convulsions, and death, lyssavirus produces a similar sickness.
“There is nothing to suggest that these have been taken from the laboratory,” Nicholls said, in a rather optimistic tone.
Second, there is no proof that the Hendra virus has ever been used as a weapon in a scientific facility. Naturally, this kind of research is conducted in secret,
But we are not aware of any instances in which it has been turned into a weapon. Making a virus into a weapon is a fairly complex procedure that is not done by amateurs.
