Lassa Fever! Part 3
By Rich Schaffer (SIMAIR pilot)
Simroots Volume 42 #2 and Volume 43
#1 carried two parts of Chapter 34
of SIM pilot Rich Schaffer’s memoir, Just
One SIMAIR Story. A mysterious fever
involving fluctuating temperatures, blood
anomalies, rash, and hemorrhaging has
struck and killed two missionaries in Nigeria
in early 1969. A third, SIM nurse
Penny Pinneo, has been airlifted to the
United States and admitted to New York’s
Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and is
being treated by SIM’s Dr. John Frame.
The disease is being studied by researchers,
including Jordi Casals, at the laboratory
of Yale University.
