The bits of animal data suggesting #Ervebo, the #Ebola Zaire vaccine, might be useful against #Bundibugyo Ebola are getting supported from data showing some cross protection in blood of vaccinees. That's leading to increasing calls to study the vaccine in DRC. https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/22/new-study-supports-testing-of-mercks-ebola-vaccine-in-drc-outbreak/

It is believed that Ebola outbreaks result from spillover events when people get infected from an animal- but no one knows what the animal reservoir is for these viruses. #Ebola #Bundibugyo

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@ducky/116780751613938974

So. About that feeling. The one you get when "what goes around comes around" is pretty justifiably in play, and so is a potential pandemic:

interview with the head of the World Health Organization (2026-06-13) is really sobering. He says that people on the ground in the Democratic Republic of Congo (which has most of the Bundibugyo cases) just don’t care. Bundibugyo kills far fewer people than the armed conflict and fewer than malaria, so they are kind of indifferent to outsiders who are all worked up about Bundibugyo. They (correctly, IMHO) see outsiders as only being concerned about Bundibugyo because the outsiders are afraid it could sicken/kill them (the outsiders) too.

Speaking to fellow Western nation citizens: remember when we had the ability to save millions of lives with vaccinations that cost a pittance, but didn't because it was bad for business for some pharmaceutical companies?

This may or may not go pandemic, but we are obviously reaping what we sowed.

Remember when the rest of we wealthy nations didn't immediately pick up the funding for USAID?

Yeah it would've sucked to find the money but we could've, should've, while everything was still in place and operational.
