 Ebola – What You’re Not Being Told by pendusky(m): 4:20pm On Aug 06, 2014
There is something very, very important
that the corporate media and public
health officials are not telling you
regarding the Ebola outbreak in west
Africa.
The information I’m about to present
here is frightening. There’s really no
way around that. However, I request
that you do your very best to maintain
a calm state of mind.
Right now in West Africa the worst
Ebola outbreak in history is in full
swing and is jumping borders at an
alarming rate. Already it has spread to
four countries, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra
Leone and now Nigeria. This latest
jump into Nigeria is particularly
serious since the infected individual
carried the virus by plane to Lagos
Nigeria, a city with a population of
over 21 million. Doctors without
borders has referred to the outbreak
as “out of control” .
To make matters worse, there is
something very, very important that
the corporate media and public health
officials are not telling you regarding
this crisis.
You’ll notice if you read virtually any
mainstream article on the topic that
they make a point of insisting that
Ebola is only transferred by physical
contact with bodily fluids. This is not
true, at all.
A study conducted in 2012 showed that
Ebola was able to travel between pigs
and monkeys that were in separate
cages and were never placed in direct
contact.

Though the method of transmission in
the study was not officially
determined, one of the scientists
involved, Dr. Gary Kobinger, from the
National Microbiology Laboratory at
the Public Health Agency of
Canada, told BBC News that he
believed that the infection was spread
through large droplets that were
suspended in the air.

“What we suspect is
happening is large droplets;
they can stay in the air, but
not long; they don’t go far,”
he explained. “But they can
be absorbed in the airway,
and this is how the infection
starts, and this is what we
think, because we saw a lot
of evidence in the lungs of
the non-human primates
that the virus got in that
way.”

Translation: Ebola IS an airborne
virus.
UPDATE: Someone pointed out that in
medical terms, if the virus is transferred
through tiny droplets in the air this
would technically not be called an
“airborne virus”. Airborne, in medical
terms would mean that the virus has the
ability to stay alive without a liquid
carrier. On one hand this is a question of
semantics, and the point is well taken,
but keep in mind that the study did not
officially determine how the virus
traveled through the air, it merely
established that it does travel through the
air. Doctor Kobinger’s hypothesis
regarding droplets of liquid is just that, a
hypothesis. For the average person
however what needs to be understood is
very simple: if you are in a room with
someone infected with Ebola, you are not
safe, even if you never touch them or
their bodily fluids, and this is not what
you are being told by the mainstream
media. Essentially I am using the word
“airborne” as a layman term (which kind
of makes sense, since I am a layman in
this field).
Now I’m not going to speculate as to
whether these so called “journalist”
and public health agencies who keep
repeating the official line regarding
the means of transmission are lying,
or are just participating in some
massive display of synchronized
incompetence, but what I will say, is
that this shoddy reporting is most
likely getting people killed right now,
and may in fact put all of humanity in
danger.
How so?
By convincing people that the virus
cannot travel through air, important
precautions that could reduce the
spread of the virus are not being
taken. For example the other
passengers on the plane that traveled
to Lagos, Nigeria were not
quarantined.
To put this into context, Ebola kills
between 50% and 90% of its victims,
so the stakes are very, very high here.
NOTE: We have reported on the fact that
Ebola can spread through the air in three
separate articles since March of
2014, here , here and here , however the
corporate media has continued to
misrepresent the vectors of transmission.
This particular strain of Ebola is not
Ebola Zaire. This is a new strain , and
it may in fact be more dangerous than
the Zaire variety. Not because of any
difference in the symptoms (the
symptoms are identical), but because
this new virus seems to be harder to
contain. Whether this is due to some
characteristic of the virus itself or
merely dumb luck is uncertain at this
time, but the rate at which this
outbreak has extended its range is
unprecedented.
According to the CDC this virus is
genetically 97% similar to the Zaire
strain. However if you are interested
in this virus’ phylogenetic relationship
(genetic lineage) to the Zaire strain
you should look read “ Phylogenetic
Analysis of Guinea 2014 EBOV
Ebolavirus Outbreak ” on plos.org.
Another study by the New England
Journal of medicine (this was the one
referenced by the CDC) specifically
names the parts of the genetic code
which differ:

The three sequences, each
18,959 nucleotides in length,
were identical with the
exception of a few
polymorphisms at positions
2124 (G→A, synonymous),
2185 (A→G, NP552
glycine→glutamic acid), 2931
(A→G, synonymous), 4340
(C→T, synonymous), 6909
(A→T, sGP291
arginine→tryptophan), and
9923 (T→C, synonymous).
