Is it time to panic about Ebola? The BBC says that the World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak a “global health emergency.”
That’s a lie. The WHO has only designated the specific outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo “a public health emergency of international concern.” The organization clarified that the outbreak “does not meet the criteria of pandemic emergency.”
This is due to only 8 confirmed cases. Eight. The WHO cites “246 suspected cases and 80 suspected deaths.” Suspected?
But the US has restricted travel to Africa. The CDC invoked Title 42, which is a public health law that restricts entry into the US during outbreaks of communicable diseases for at least 30 days starting Monday.
Incidentally, the FDA approved an Ebola antibody treatment for Ebola in 2020. There is also an Ebola vaccine but authorities say that it does not address the strain of the current outbreak. How do they know that from only 8 confirmed cases?
That certainty is interesting. During Covid, the public was repeatedly assured that each new vaccine rollout would be effective against future strains long before real-world data existed to prove it. Now the public health establishment is confidently telling us that the existing Ebola vaccine is not effective against the current strain, again without meaningful real-world evidence to support the claim.
It is worth noting that the last time the WHO managed an Ebola outbreak in Congo, their doctors and staff entrapped women as sex slaves and paid them a $250 apology. So this is the organization that is once again in Congo managing an outbreak.
