Ukraine’s Military Intelligence has shared evidence with The Sunday Times, including photographs and intercepted audio messages allegedly exchanged between senior Russian officers.
Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is a prion disease which leads to tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term kúru means “trembling” and comes from the Fore word kuria or guria (“to shake”).[3][4] It is also known as “laughing sickness” due to abnormal bursts of laughter from the patients.
It was spread among the Fore people via funerary cannibalism.
That makes it even worse. Pretty hard to diagnose wtf is happening if it can take half a century to hit. Imagine you’re just eating some brains as a healthy 15 year old and then boom, kuru 20 years later. You barely got to be an adult and you’re dying because of… Nothing! Nobody knows!
It was a prion disease that was only contracted in the Fore people. The only way to get it was to be born with it or eat someone with the disease. So once people there stopped cannibalism, the disease began to disappear.
