Top Scientist: This Version Of Ebola Looks Like ‘A Very Different Bug’


From Freedom Outpost:
Barack Obama and the head of the CDC need to quit saying that we know exactly how Ebola spreads. Because the truth is that there is much about this virus that we simply do not know. 
For example, a top Ebola scientist that is working in the heart of the outbreak in Liberia says that this version of Ebola looks like it could be "a very different bug" from past versions. Other leading scientists are echoing his concerns. 
And yet, Barack Obama and Thomas Frieden continue to publicly proclaim that we know precisely how this virus behaves. Not only is that bad science, but it could also potentially result in the unnecessary deaths of a very large number of people. 
For example, Obama has refused to implement an Ebola travel ban because he is greatly underestimating the seriousness of this virus. This decision could turn out to be incredibly costly. 
If what you will read about below is true, we could be dealing with some sort of "super Ebola" that nobody has ever seen before. 
Peter Jahrling of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease is on the front lines fighting this disease in Liberia. He is one of the top authorities in the world on Ebola, and what his team has been seeing under the microscope is incredibly sobering... 
Now U.S. scientist Peter Jahrling of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease believes the current Ebola outbreak may be caused by an infection that spreads more easily than it did before. 
Dr Jahrling explained that his team, who are working in the epicentre of the crisis in the Liberian capital of Monrovia, are seeing that the viral loads in Ebola patients are much higher than they are used to seeing. 
He told Vox.com: 'We are using tests now that weren't using in the past, but there seems to be a belief that the virus load is higher in these patients [today] than what we have seen before. If true, that's a very different bug. 
'I have a field team in Monrovia. They are running [tests]. They are telling me that viral loads are coming up very quickly and really high, higher than they are used to seeing. 'It may be that the virus burns hotter and quicker.' 
Other top scientists are making similar observations.
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.


Dr. Bob McBroom, a local infectious disease doctor also spoke to reporters about this concern at the TimesRecordNews.com on October 15, 2014, coincidental to the second nurse's confirmed Ebola diagnosis.

Dr. Peter Jahrling is a big deal. A very big deal. I've known about him for many years.

Do a Google search.

The government hospital at Kenema was apparently used as part of a research project into Lassa fever sponsored by the US. It has been reported that both USAMRIID and infectious disease specialists at Tulane University were involved....what prompted epidemiologists at Harvard and Yale to protest? Hmmmm.

Integrity? LOL!
One of Sierra Leone’s most prominent doctors, Sheik Umar Khan, was associated with the Lassa fever research project. He, along with several of his nurses, recently died of Ebola.

was this latest suspension in funding the result of someone’s bio-research that went awry?
