X post claiming '2026 hantavirus outbreak was predicted in 2022' resurfaces
A June 2022 X post reading '2023: Covid ends / 2026: Hantavirus' spread as alleged evidence of a planned pandemic after the MV Hondius cruise-ship hantavirus cluster. Snopes and Lead Stories found the post really was written in 2022, but said it was unsupported speculation without scientific basis. WHO also assessed risk to the general public as low. Rating: missing context and exaggeration.
