France: Doctors Without Borders says around half of the migrants in Paris may be coronavirus positive

Oct 9, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 17 Comments

Illegal migrants have continued to swarm into the EU during the coronavirus lockdown. Now in France, “more than one in two homeless people, mostly migrants, have been infected with Covid-19 in Île-de-France, according to the first study of its kind, published on Tuesday, October 6 by the NGO Doctors Without Borders (Médecins sans frontières, MSF), which is concerned about this ‘particularly high prevalence.”

This is France amid the coronavirus crisis and the news that half of the migrants on Paris streets may be coronavirus positive:

  • “Between mid-2010 and mid-2016, France received more than half a million Muslim migrants”
  • In 2019, France showed signs of losing control over its Muslim migrants when “illegal immigrants shut down one terminal of France’s Charles de Gaulle Airport… in a massive protest” of between 400-500 migrants. One person was heard shouting “France does not belong to the French! Everyone has a right to be here!”
  • Muslim migration is so out of control in France that last month, tensions between France and the UK were building rapidly after the French were caught red-handed escorting illegal migrant boats from France across the English Channel into the UK. France even demanded $39,000,000 from the UK to take their own illegal migrants back.

Meanwhile, in Italy in September, “migrants housed in a Sicilian hotel set fires in the accommodation to protest against anti-coronavirus measures.”

Also last month in Greece, five Muslim migrants were arrested for an arson attack that destroyed Europe’s largest migrant camp, because they, too, were upset over lockdown measures.

“Île-de-France: more than one in two homeless people infected with Covid-19,” translated from “Île-de-France: plus d’une personne en grande précarité sur deux infectée au Covid-19,” Le Figaro, October 6, 2020:

More than one in two homeless people, mostly migrants, have been infected with Covid-19 in Île-de-France, according to the first study of its kind, published on Tuesday, October 6 by the NGO Doctors Without Borders (Médecins sans frontières, MSF), which is concerned about this “particularly high prevalence”.

With a 55% positivity rate in the accommodation centers, food distributions or workers’ homes where MSF has conducted tests, this is a “particularly high prevalence, especially in the homes and accommodation centers,” the report emphasizes. The survey, described as the very first in France and in Europe to focus exclusively on the level of exposure to the virus among the most vulnerable, mainly concerns foreigners, who represent 90% of the sample of 818 people tested by the NGO.

A positivity rate of 12% in Paris

“The results show an enormous prevalence. The main reason is the promiscuity and the accommodation conditions which have generated clusters”, for example in the gymnasiums, where these people were sheltered at the beginning of generalized confinement, says Corinne Torre, head of the France mission at MSF.

Conducted between June 23 and July 2 with Epicenter, the epidemiology center hosted by MSF, the study revealed strong disparities depending on the types of sites at which people were tested: thus, in the 10 centers of accommodation where it operates, the positivity rate reached 50.5%, compared to 27.8% at food distribution sites and 88.7% in the two migrant worker homes.

In France, the positivity rate of the general population oscillates rather between 5 and 10%. According to Public Health France, it was 8% at the end of last week, and around 12% in Paris, where the main sites covered by MSF are located.

    Since the PCR test does not work, because it is not a test, the observation is completely meaningless.

    Just wondering, does ISIS and al Qaeda or Hamas or Hezbollah have anything to do with this ? That is in sending so many Muslim migrants infected with the coronavirus into the capital city of a major country.

    Could this be a type of virus jihad against the West. If so those scheming jihadists will continue this Islamic virus warfare tactic in France and other in other Western nations.

    Let’s not underestimate the vicious jihad- minded mentality of those Islamic terror organizations listed above.

    I am glad EASTERN Europe is free of this never-ending wave of people who don’t care about European civilization. Things have changed,however ,in IRAN:

    Concerning IRAN:  jihadwatch had an article that stated that according to a recent survey with 45,000 Iranians,  60% of Iranians are EX-MUSLIMS.

    In 1979 ( 41 years ago),it was 99%.

    WHY?

    1.For me the main reason is: most are Very Proud of the PRE-ISLAMIC Persian empire,created by CYRUS (6th century BC ).

    2.According to what I have read,there was Far Less Slavery in the Persian Part of the Empire than in Ancient Greece.

    PLUS THE “CYRUS CYLINDER” ( 539 BC )( considered the FIRST DECLARATION of HUMAN RIGHTS )

    According to the website humanrights

    https://www.humanrights.com/what-are-human-rights/brief-history/

    CYRUS:

    “He FREED the SLAVES, declared that all people had the right to CHOOSE their own RELIGION, and established RACIAL EQUALITY. 

    These and other decrees were recorded on a baked-clay cylinder in the Akkadian language with cuneiform script.Known today as the CYRUS CYLINDER, this ancient record has now been recognized as the world’s FIRST CHARTER of HUMAN RIGHTS.

     It is translated into ALL SIX OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of the UNITED NATIONS

    and its provisions PARALLEL

     the FIRST FOUR ARTICLES of the UNIVERAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.”

    PLUS

    A REPLICA the ancient clay cylinder was presented to UN Secretary-General by the government of Iran in 1971. It is in  the UN HEADQUARTERS today:

    https://www.unmultimedia.org/s/photo/detail/144/0144182.html

    2.FRENCH

    3.RUSSIAN

    4.SPANISH

    5.CHINESE

    6.ARABIC

    JUST PROPAGANDA BY CYRUS?

    Probably to a certain extent but read this,as it appear in the Cyrus Cylinder:

    “I announce that I will respect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of my empire and never let any of my governors and subordinates look down on or insult them while I am alive.

    From now on…, I never let anyone oppress any others, and if it occurs, I will take his or her right back and penalize the oppressor.”

    “I will never let anyone take possession of movable and landed properties of the others by force or without compensation. 

    While I AM ALIVE, I PREVENT

    UNPAID,  FORCED LABOR. 

    Today, I announce that EVERYONE is FREE to CHOOSE a RELIGION. 

    People are free to live in all regions and take up a job provided that they never violate other’s rights.”

      Actually, the claim that Cyrus the Great abolished slavery is iffy *at best*. This cylinder is more an apologia for his invading the Babylonian Empire. Moreover, it says nothing about the status of things in Persia itself.

      With all respect, I’d take these claims with a rather large grain of salt.

      Note that  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed that the rights supposedly granted by the Cyrus cylinder were perfectly in line with the horrors of the Islamic State.

      Here are some scholarly views on the subject:

      The interpretation of the Cylinder as a “charter of human rights” has been described by some historians as “rather anachronistic” and tendentious. It has been dismissed as a “misunderstanding” and characterized as political propaganda devised by the Pahlavi regime. The German historian Josef Wiesehöfer comments that the portrayal of Cyrus as a champion of human rights is as illusory as the image of the “humane and enlightened Shah of Persia”…

      Writing in the immediate aftermath of the Shah’s anniversary commemorations, the British Museum’s C.B.F. Walker comments that the “essential character of the Cyrus Cylinder [is not] a general declaration of human rights or religious toleration but simply a building inscription, in the Babylonian and Assyrian tradition, commemorating Cyrus’s restoration of the city of Babylon and the worship of Marduk previously neglected by Nabonidus”. Two professors specialising in the history of the ancient Near East, Bill T. Arnold and Piotr Michalowski, comment: “Generically, it belongs with other foundation deposit inscriptions; it is not an edict of any kind, nor does it provide any unusual human rights declaration as is sometimes claimed.” Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones of the University of Edinburgh notes that “there is nothing in the text” that suggests the concept of human rights. Neil MacGregor comments:

      Comparison by scholars in the British Museum with other similar texts, however, showed that rulers in ancient Iraq had been making comparable declarations upon succeeding to the [Babylonian] throne for two millennia before Cyrus […] it is one of the museum’s tasks to resist the narrowing of the object’s meaning and its appropriation to one political agenda…

        Hello, yes, I agree with you there is good reason to doubt it all, but in spite of it all,Iranians are in general very proud of the Persian empire: they still celebrate the PRE-ISLAMIC and ZOROASTRIAN holidays called:

        1.NORUZ ( New Year ),every March 21.

        2.The FIRE FESTIVAL ( fire was sacred to the Zoroastrians )

        EVEN MORE

        Though Most People seem to think Iranians are Arabs,Iranians are very aware that:

        they are the COUSINS or relatives of EUROPEANS.

        THE ARYANS

        1.Some 6,000 years ago there was a tribe of people in Central Asia that spoke the SAME language ( Indo-European) which has been reconstructed ( at least 1,000 words ).

        2.In the course of time they migrated to other areas: some to INDIA ( where they racially mixed with the locals ),some to IRAN, to EUROPE.

        3.What was once ONE language changed and became Germanic,Slavic,Greek,Latin,Sanskrit, ancient Farsi,Celtic,etc.

        Then it changed more and Latin became Spanish,French,Italian,etc. And ancient Farsi became modern Farsi ( which is like 50% Arab words today ) ,Kurdish, Pashtu,Baluchi. Sanskrit became Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi,etc.

        Iranians are awake of this LINGUISTIC and ANCESTRAL link to Europeans.So I think it has been a factor in 60% of them rejecting Islam,since European culture is Not Islamic.

          Thank you for your reply, Brando.

          Yes, many Iranians are proud of the Persian Empire–but in some cases that is just because of its history of conquest.

          And you are right that Nowruz is often celebrated in Iran–although it has also been suppressed at various times under Islam.

          I am well aware that Persians are not Arabs–in fact, Iranians often look down on Arabs. It is also true that the Iranians have ethnic links to Europe.

          Neither of these things prevented Muslims from invading and conquering Persia, though–nor for Islam to have dominated that land ever since. That the Mullahs have ethnic and linguistic links to Europe does not automatically make them any less savage.

          And while I have heard that some Iranians have quietly drifted away from Islam, that hasn’t prevented Iran from being one the world’s worst Shari’ah states over the past forty years.

    Aside for the, very possible, idea that ISIS and al Qaeda as well as Hamas and Hezbollah having a sinister Islamic hand in infection a Western nation along that countries people with the coronavirus it whole story of this and other viruses and pathogenic bacteria as well all earthquakes floods and all other calamities according to the Quran come from the god of Islam ,Allah .What a vicious and cruel god this Allah must be !

    Getting back to the specific subject of the coronavirus, by reading from the Quran it’s very obvious Allah is responsible for that starting and continuing the plague of coronavirus

    What a cruel and vicious god, Allah is.

    For when getting down to basic Quran theology which is the Quran based worldview the one who is really to blame and is responsible for the coronavirus plague is the god of Islam ,Allah. For according to the Quran Allah had sent cruel disaster of coronavirus on human beings .

    This means then the god of Islam, as if he really does is a destructive and malicious god. For the Quran teaches in Surah 57:22. “No misfortune [disaster] can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree [Quran ] before [in eternity ] We [Allah] bring it into existence: that is easy for Allah.”

    Therefore according the Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran the Islamic god, Allah, is guilty of infecting people with coronavirus What a cruel vicious, malicious god Allah must be. So Allah is than a very unloving malice –filled god.

    Nevertheless, all Christians and Jews shout not lose faith and heart in the God of the Bible as vicious by sending coronavirus on people.

    This is because the god of Islam is should be made clear that the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “

    Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.”

    In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible. The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi

    If more than 50% of the illegal immigrants in Paris have the Corona Virus, would it be possible to offer the remaining immigrants the opportunity to enjoy a large dosage of the Ebola Virus,..?

    And then scientists can do a city wide study of which virus is the most deadly, ( for research purposes ) – there by getting a better understanding of the effects of both viruses.
