Have you watched 'My Best Bodyguard'? A similar case. I read an article earlier on about a deadly virus being propagated in a secret lab. I can't remember the details. It was a flu virus actually. But I think this new strain of ebola is a man-made weapon.

Good evening all
Only few here seem to be willing to EDUCATE themselves. Instead you "believe" this or that, or are of this or that "opinion". Based on what? The only thing all these idiotic conspiracy theories are based on is your laziness to educate yourself. Yes, laziness. It DOES take an effort to read through a few facts, true. It's a lot easier and maybe more exciting to smell foul play in everything and spread paranoia.
I'm not even going to start giving any facts here. I have tried before. Nobody reads it.

[b]Let me just tell you this. IF you prefer to believe those hysterical, paranoid AMERICAN (oooh the irony!!) sites that are the origin of all this misinformation, then please DO IT RIGHT. If you follow these conspiracy theories, as a logical result you MUST
- never again take any modern medicine because it will invariably be developed by "evil scientists"
- never again go to a hospital when you are sick because all that is also developed by "evil scientists"
- never again complain when your children die of preventable diseases after your laziness made you believe that science and modern medicine is evil
- in fact you should also stop using the computer you're using as well as the internet. Same for cars, airplanes, television.... They were developed by "evil scientists".
- and most importantly: never, ever demand for an ebola cure or vaccine again, because it will invariably be developed by "evil scientists".
- live with the potentially disastrous results of everybody's laziness and ignorance, but then DO NOT COMPLAIN.[/b]


And now PLEASE, read the facts instead of listening to a few hysterical Americans (btw there are several of them spreading their bullshit on Nairaland).

bro lets take it dis way.they(white ppl)said dat ebola has bin in existence since 1976 right.my question is why has'nt d virus bin able to wipe out everyone since then since there were no cure then.there are some states in nigeria dat eat bat.why has'nt it killed them since.bro the fact is dat since they knew that ebola virus killed in same way as their new virus they linked the deadly virus to african origin.the 100 is a movie dat wil unravel d truth for ya.

I don't think you understand what I mean. View it from all shores. You ignored the flu virus I mentioned. And the movie I mentioned is a Thai movie. And do not think I am a lazy learner. I also researched. But I view things in every possible perspective I can. Your conclusive objection does not jibe with my intended meaning. That movie I mentioned doesn't accuse the U.S in any way. I won't explain further. If you're not the lazy learner you call me, watch the movie too. And know that I never concluded ebola is man-made.

Wait, WHAT?!?!?!? i should go and get my facts from a movie?? are you serious? no thanks, i am not that gullible?

Your logic is so flawed its not even funny. Its shocking that people actually think like this. If you did the research, You would know that there have been multiple Ebola outbreaks since 1976 and everytime there has been one, the most effective way to defeat the disease has been to quarantine those infected to limit the spread of it because the disease has a high mortality (death rate).
Chai!!! my Naija people, una no try o. I am sure you are probably one of the same people that believes that the US invented HIV to kill black people right?

Please do not get your "information" from movies. ebola has not eradicated everbody since then because
1) most outbreaks occured in very remote areas in which it was easier to contain it. It probably also helped that people learned about it eventually and started to recognize it early and then react appropriately rather than running away from isolation centers or looting them out of ignorance undecided. Also keep in mind that ebola has not occurred in West Africa before. That's why it was spreading for several weeks before it was even recognized as what it is (bad start). That it DOES occur in WA now, however, does !!!NOT!!! mean it is new, manmade or a weapon. It has simply spread there as viruses tend to do.
2) ebola is NOT very contagious and oubreaks CAN be controlled efficiently and they have been so far
3) not everybody who gets infected dies. Around 50% in this current outbreak SURVIVE (and NO, it is NOT due to any secret magic cure)
4) while ebola is a zoonotic disease (one that jumps to humans from animals) this does NOT happen every time someone eats a bat!! It's a RARE occurrence. Furthermore NOT every bad carries ebola.
5) this is NOT a "new" virus. However, viruses mutate. It's just what they do. You'd have reason to believe it was manmade if it did NOT mutate (refer to article below).
6) what has it got to do with any facts whether or not the person who said something is "white"? Did you even READ the original post in this thread? If you did you would have seen that many of the co-authors of the newest study are NOT white. Authors and abstract of their study here: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2014/08/27/science.1259657

Here is a also a new useful article from a CREDIBLE source http://www.sciencemag.org/content/345/6200/989.full.pdf

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE SPREAD OF EBOLA WHEN YOU SPREAD UNFOUNDED CONSPIRACY THEORIES. If people mistrust hospitals, quarantine/isolation centres etc. for using them as "lab rats" and such bullshit, guess what they'll do? Most likely run away and spread it to 50 more people.

I believe Life is all about taking risks in all profession especially when you are scientists, but we shouldn't jst take risks to please people... Ebola virus has come to be in our generation and we must accept the fact as scientists...but why are we nigerians(africans) so ignorant cos when the virus was first detected in 1976 our african scientists were busy not finding the solutions to the cure while the white men(american) were busy experimenting ways to cure it at any early age/time....that's the question that needs to be answer from us including myself?

How did she have access to Ebola?

First of all, not to trivialize what happened back then in Guatemala from 1946 - 1948. But you are trying to connect dots where there are no dots. you are linking two very separate events and scenarios together. If you took this to court, I am not even sure whether your evidence would pass muster. The judge might just throw it out. suspicion or misguided opinions are not the same thing as evidence.

That lady that was arrested was a terrorist. She didn't work or represent the US govt. She was just a person working on her own or on behalf of a terrorist organization (her husband was one of the masterminds of the sept 11 attacks) who had bad intentions. Now for you to say the US govt. is responsible for the Ebola outbreak in Africa based on the actions of a terrorist is just incredibly misguided on your part.

Now what happened in Guatemala was horrifying and inexcusable. The research was conducted by a small number of unethical doctors working far away from the public eye so I doubt that it was acceptable US policy. That was absolutely wrong and when this info was revealed to the US govt. in 2010, they apologized to Guatemala about it and measures have been put in place for scientist to follow when conducting research to hopefully prevent it from happening again so for you to now hold an entire country responsible for what some few unscrupulous doctors did over 64 years ago shows that you are just paranoid bro. you are just like most Nigerians with their very cynical mindset: they expect the worst from people. Mixing both mindsets (paranoia and cynicism) together with ignorance (lack of knowledge on the issue) means that you are not able to be objective when examining the facts because you seem to have already made up your mind so there is no point trying to continue reasoning with you. After all, you remind me of the do called people who were saying nano silver would cure Ebola.

I guess you are qualified to speak more about Ebola since you think you know its history. You can say I am paranoid but if they have done it before, why can't they do it again? No one know the truth rather than what the media feeds us. I might be wrong but It's something I feel they are capable of doing.
