Why has Ebola attracted international attention that is freaking out millions of people around the world? Is it because there is a pandemic that has killed tens of thousands of people? Who are the financial winners and losers from Ebola? Let’s take a careful look at what could be behind what is starting to stink of conspiracy.
What are the facts?
• Ebola is a dreaded disease with a mortality rate of 50-90%.
• There is not much difference in the numbers of people who have Ebola or are dying from it today vs. years ago.
• The disease has not even spread to adjacent surrounding countries in Africa, let alone other continents. It is endemic to West Africa. Period!
• There are factors endogenous to West Africa required to infect people that do not exist in other parts of the world.
• Because of the lengthy incubation period of up to 3 weeks, many people exposed and infected to the Ebola virus have traveled to other countries and continents prior to the onset of symptoms, but it has not spread out of Africa.
• Ebola is not an airborne disease. It is only spread from person to person with intimate contact through body fluids. It has a low infectivity rate compared to most serious infectious diseases.
Who are the Winners and Losers from Ebola?
The Winners:
• People with Ebola infection in West Africa need help and are getting it.
• Big pharma stands to make billions of dollars by developing vaccines and drugs to treat Ebola.
• Medical researchers will receive funding to study Ebola and its treatment.
• Medical centers sponsoring research will usurp up to 50% of research funding.
• NIH will draw more federal funds to allocate to Ebola research
• CDC will exploit its conflict of interest with big pharma and keep its revolving doors with big pharma open.
• FDA will continue to secure its income from big pharma by fastracking their vaccines and drugs.
• The supplement industry will flourish with its claims that it can prevent and treat Ebola infections.
• WHO influences world politics and supports those profiting from the Ebola epidemic.
• Politicians who support those industries that pay them for their favors.
The Losers:
• US taxpayers will allocate billions of dollars to create vaccines and drugs. Is it another Infection Deception?
• Panicked US citizens are suffering from the hype and fear of a disease that is non-existent in the US.
• Routine healthcare in Wests Africa is stalling and causing more deaths from diseases such as malaria, diarrheal diseases, and respiratory viruses.
• West Africa’s rich natural resources are being depleted by foreign businesses and hurting its economy. Does Ebola strengthen these relationships?
• US healthcare suffers because dollars spent on Ebola result in less funding for desperately needed services such as providing much needed care for our veterans, homeless, poor, and the 50% of Americans who are suffering from the massive epidemic of chronic diseases!
Are we once again following the dollars?
