How a Fake Typhus Epidemic Saved a Polish City From the Nazis
In 1942, the Polish doctor Stanislav Motulevich discovered that if healthy Proteus OX19 bacteria were injected into healthy people, the blood of such a person would give a false positive reaction when tested for typhus, which is caused by a very different genus of bacteria, Rickettsia. The fact is that the bacteria Proteus OX19 and Rickettsia have similar antigens that cause the synthesis by the immune system of a person of similar antibodies. The presence of these antibodies in human blood is a diagnostic sign of typhoid. This observation formed the basis of a medical scam, which allowed to avoid deportation to concentration camps and death to thousands of people.
School friend Motulevich - Eugeniusz Lazovsky was also a doctor. Together with Motulevich Lazovsky developed a plan for "vaccinating" the population of the Polish village Rozvadov with a dead strain of Proteus OX19. The doctors reported to the residents about the introduction of the vaccine, but in fact they simulated an outbreak of typhoid.
After the German laboratories confirmed the reports of Motulevich and Lazovsky about the "outbreak of typhus", the pathophobic Germans closed Rozvadov and the surrounding villages in quarantine.
Thus, both Polish families were rescued from deportation to concentration camps, and Jewish ones - from executions. The quarantine regime lasted two more years until the liberation of Poland. According to different data, from 8 to 12 thousand people were rescued from deportation and death.
Next time I will tell a story about how, under cover of vaccination in Pakistan, samples of the population's DNA were collected to find the bin Laden family.
