The Spin


The Ebola outbreak in DRC is a genuine public health crisis demanding serious action. The Bundibugyo strain has no vaccine, carries a 25-50% death rate, and has already spread to Uganda. The U.S. government has rightly raised DRC's travel advisory to Level 4 and implemented enhanced screening to keep Americans safe from a disease that kills through direct contact with infected people.

The WHO has a track record of hyping outbreaks to grab funding and power, and this Ebola alarm fits that pattern perfectly. The DRC has seen at least 17 Ebola outbreaks since the 1970s and none went global, yet the same "global solidarity" rhetoric is back. Toxic mining conditions in Ituri Province offer a far more credible explanation for illness than another conveniently timed viral emergency.
