In Haiti, violence erupted
during the last major epidemic, a nearly decade-long cholera outbreak that
began in 2010; more than 800,000 people were sickened and around 10,000 died.
At least 45 priests of Haiti’s voodoo religion were killed, some hacked to
death, by mobs who blamed them for causing it with their spells, the government
said at the time.
