I mean it's reasonable: European ports block hantavirus ship meme

This two-panel meme repurposes the viral Flex Tape infomercial clip featuring Phil Swift. The top panel labels Phil Swift as "European ports" gesturing towards a leaking water container labeled "Hantavirus ship". The bottom panel shows Swift pressing a Flex Tape patch over the leak, overlaid with the text "fuck off we're not gonna let you pass", humorously satirizing European port authorities firmly blocking ships suspected of carrying hantavirus to stop the virus from entering their territories.
