More US-funded Bio Weapons Labs on the Radar: Ebola Makes a Comeback with a Vengeance!
Current reports of the explosive spread of the Ebola virus emphasize drama and political resonance, including references to infected health workers outside the affected regions and hints at a repeat of scenarios seen during COVID-19.
With this in mind, the 2014 Ebola outbreak should be revisited, not only in terms of public health containment efforts and social marketing but also in terms of how a known epidemiological risk was handled in the media.
Naturally, those speculating on what is going on, particularly because of the timing and media reaction, are quick to jump on the Ebola bandwagon, especially considering how quickly it is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and how the WHO has designated it a “very high” risk at the national level.
In the world of conspiracy theories, some are even questioning if it could be another bioweapon, asking if Ebola is part of some sinister depopulation program, or perhaps a distraction, a financial plot, or a scheme to extract national resources from Africa.
What is especially ironic is the section discussing conspiracy theories “like in the early days of COVID-19,” considering that many claims initially dismissed as conspiracies later gained substantial credibility. Back in 2014, Henry Kamens wrote a series of articles for New Eastern Outlook examining possible links between the Ebola outbreak and U.S.-associated biological research facilities.
Regardless of the ledger or truth or innocence, it should come as no surprise, of late, that not only the Russian media, but an array of outlets, are reporting how US laboratories in Ukraine were working to create a bio-weapon to kill people of a particular race,
It is always interesting to review earlier denials regarding allegations of biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere and who stands behind them, especially the closed ranks denials. Indian media outlets reported several years ago how the Russian Federation had warned African partners against cooperating with the U.S. in the biological military sphere, claiming that such collaboration could worsen the situation. Moscow has also alleged that the U.S. Army has been involved in the illegal export of Ebola virus samples and has identified over 30 individuals linked to U.S.-funded biological laboratories in........
