Good point. This article also explains why it was not mentioned in the Socialist Standard — news about it was censored:

I wonder if that Kansas army base was the same one where some Hutterite conscientious objectors were tortured to death in 1918 (see J. Hostetler: The Hutterites in North America).
There are some reports indicating that Ebola is re-emerging in Congo again, and this virus has certain similarities with the HIV, and Ebola virus, in Japan they have tried to treat it with HIV medications
Apparently the gorillas in the Congo are worried about getting it just like they got Ebola:
There was a group of American natives who discovered petroleum and gold in their territory and most of them were killed or disappeared because they started to accumulate wealth, and they would have become part of the USA ruling elite, they were sending their children to expensive universities, and they were driving luxury cars, and they had mansions
The Quakers also opposed wars, armed forces membership, genocides, and they believed that all humans were equals
It was the English Quakers who paid for and arranged transport to America for Europe’s Mennonites and Amish, who had to leave Europe on pain of death.
Whilst awaiting the transports, these Anabaptists were lodged in barracks in Holland, having fled from Catholic and Protestant kingdoms.
The Quakers are working in South America with the natives and they considered themselves as socialists, and they have opposed the sanctions placed by the USA against some Latin American countries and the discrimination against the Brazilian natives
Genuinely social Catholic clergy too, several having ended up on the receiving end of state violence.
The Shakers are also genuinely good people. Only two individuals left.

“Only two individuals left.”
Not surprising since they didn’t believe in sex. In fact it’s a wonder where the two came from. Not for most people then.
Well, it is true, I suppose, that most members of our party are simply the offspring of former members.
In ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ David Grann describes how white people in the area conspired to kill Osage members in order steal their oil wealth, which could only be passed on through inheritance. “This was a culture of complicity,” he says, “and it was allowed to go on for so long because so many people were part of the plot. You had lawmen, you had prosecutors, you had the reporters who wouldn’t cover it. You had oilmen who wouldn’t speak out. You had morticians who would cover up the murders when they buried the body. You had doctors who helped give poison to people.”
Where are the anti-vaxxers now?
In Italy the anti-vax movement has “virtually disappeared” in the discussion on the coronavirus, according to virologist Dr Roberto Burioni.
“If a vaccine were made available tomorrow, everyone would jump to get it,” said Laurent-Henri Vignaud, who co-authored a history of France’s anti-vax movement.
