Tomio Okamura, head of the Czech SPD political party, released a video on October 4 warning people against serious diseases spreading across Europe. He says the diseases, such as the West Nile virus and Monkey plague, were brought to Europe by illegal migrants. However, Okamura’s video has one major factual problem. There are no known cases of West Nile virus being transmitted from person to person and the Monkey plague does not exist.
