Ive been seeing posts (by people who should know better) about how the ebola virus is an artificially engineered biowarfare agent, which has been released in West Africa in order to exterminate blacks.. Yesterday afternoon I had to be polite on the phone to someone who was going on about it... Heres why I am convinced this story is 100% bunk: No government or covert agency is able to use biowar agents until they have an operational force, deployed in the field, who are ALREADY immune to that agent, and until they also ALREADY have the means to immunize their own population ready at hand. Nobodys army ever gave small-pox infected blankets to native people until that army had enough soldiers to collect, sort, package, load, transport, unload, unpack, and deliver those blankets, all of whom were already immune to smallpox. They could have selected soldiers who had survived smallpox, and were immune; they might have selected soldiers who had been immunized (immunization for smallpox has been known for many centuries); but they had to have all those personnel, for each stage of the operation, already in place, before they even started collecting the blankets - or they would have infected their own army. Nobody is immune to ebola except those who have survived the disease. Since the identification of the ebola virus in 1976, up to the current outbreak, 1,716 people are known to have contracted the disease in separate small outbreaks, and in most of these, less than 50% to 10% survived. (source: who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/). Those people were the only people on the planet known to be immune to ebola. There is no evidence at all that any of those people were covertly recruited by the CIA, SVR, MSS, MI-6, or MOSSAD, and trained to be a cadre of covert biowar personnel. Several hundreds of individuals would be needed to mount such an operation in several different countries at once, as in the current outbreak. In order to be considered as a biowar agent, a disease must be easily spread. Optimally, it should be possible to transmit the disease by airborne means. Ebola virus has not been confirmed to spread naturally by air; in fact, it seems impossible to spread the disease except by direct contact with body fluids from infected individuals (this may include contact with the bodies of deceased victims). Experiments conducted between 1990 and 1999 by the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, and similar biowar research facilities in the Soviet Union, did demonstrate the possibility of airborne transmission under exceptional laboratory conditions, but the ebola virus was determined to be not a good candidate for biowarfare use. Any government or agency attempting to use ebola as a biowar agent would need to have covertly developed a reliable vaccine for the disease. There is no known vaccine for ebola. Since the virus was identified in 1976, an immense amount of unclassified research has been done on the disease, and after 36 years, no effective vaccine has been identified, and there are only two candidate vaccines currently undergoing testing. Any government or covert agency planning to use ebola as a biowar agent would need to have covertly developed the means to rapidly immunize its entire military and security force in order to gain effective advantage from the deployment of ebola in a biowar operation. For any of the likely agencies that might consider, or have the capability for, such a deployment (e.g., those in the list above), this would require having 100s of thousands or even more than a million doses of vaccine ready on hand, and available for rapid distribution throughout their security forces. This would require having covert manufacturing, distribution, stockpiling in secure locations, and medical staff to perform the immunizations - all in place, in secret. Any government or agency considering deployment of ebola would also need to be able to rapidly vaccinate its entire civilian population, not just its military and security forces. This would require stockpiling, or having capacity in place for rapid production, of tens or hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine, all in secret. Since it is likely that any doses of a vaccine would have an expiry date the entire covert complex from manufacturing to actual individual immunizations would have to be maintained in a state of readiness over a considerable period, all in secret. There is simply no evidence that any such capacities have been covertly developed or deployed by any of the agencies or governments with the capability to do so. Ebola virus is not race-specific. It infects black Africans or white Europeans or Americans equally, with the same virulence. Currently, most of the 3,000-plus victims of ebola have been blacks; but when ebola does appear in Europe, or America (and it already has), the victims will be whites. When it appears in China (and it probably will), the victims will be Chinese. Ebola is NOT part of a genocidal plot against blacks; it just showed up in Africa first. It should be noted that the less virulent Reston ebolavirus strain was first identified in 1990 in tissue samples taken from Crab-eating Macaque imported from the Philippines to Hazleton Laboratories in Reston, Virginia. This less lethal strain of the virus has been identified in monkeys from Sumatra, and in 2008, in hogs on a farm north of Manilla in the Philippines, where, in 2009, one farm worker tested positive for Reston ebolavirus antibodies; they had apparently contracted the virus and recovered without showing symptoms.
