@Xytos What you say is also common knowledge. I'm not sure what you're arguing then, because neither I nor chuckiepoo222 have argued against the Eyeem case. Nor has what we stated disproved what you've stated. I believe that the Y. pestis deniers are rather foolish, and that the Discovery Channel in this particular documentary shouldn't have given any of it legitimacy. It is telling that this episode completely failed to acknowledge the survivors in Eyeem, as I feel it would disprove them.

@kuronekonyaa this is common knowledge. im arguing the fact that there are people who are partially or completely immune to this sort of disease because of a mutation inside their blood cells. because the bacteria targets a specific gate on the blood cells, those who have a mutated gate are not affected at all, and those who have half mutated blood cells eventually recover. you should watch secrets of the dead: mysteries of the black death.

@Xytos The bubonic plague, the pneumonic plague, and the septicemic plague are all caused by the same bacteria, infecting different parts of the body. People are most likely to survive bubonic, as it is caused by flea bites and easiest to prevent ( mortality rate of 40%~60%). Pneumonic plague is caused by the same bacteria, once it has infected the lungs (mortality rate 90%). That spread by the constant coughing and vomiting. The last one infects the blood, and is at 99%, but extremely rare.

@chuckiepoo222 then how do u argue the fact that the bubonic plague hijacks the white blood cells through the receptor protein ccr5? there were survivors in eyeem, some of them caught the virus but recovered, and others never got infected at all. the bubonic plague attacks the body in exactly that way (and so does aids). that's why people with two of these mutated genes can never become infected with hiv/plague and those with heterozygous will eventually recover. it must be the bubonic plague.

This is so much bullshit.

When bubonic plague rampages it is initially spread by fleas. Then it morphs

into pneumonic plague which is spread from person to person through droplets

of saliva, like the common cold. There's also a third prong to this where it affects the blood. This is common knowledge and I can't figure for the life of me why the

Discovery channel would come off with something this lame and distorted. I hope the producers of this show get the plague!
