Review
Today, the Ebola, and for that matter the Marburg virus have assumed general
acceptance. Yet according to David Rasnick, a previous member to the Presidential
AIDS Advisory Panel of South Africa, there is no convincing evidence, and certainly
no confirmatory evidence of human isolation, in either case. This is, to be certain,
not only a direct challenge that the Ebola virus is behind the current Ebola
outbreak; but that this virus is pathogenic at all. Nor is Rasnick alone. To date,
there has been at least one Freedom of Information Act request to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that this author is aware of mentioning,
among other things: This is a request for published records, data, studies, electron
microscope photographs, work notes, and internal correspondence relating to and
describing, in detail, the direct isolation of the Ebola virus from human beings.This
request has, to the present, gone unaddressed and unanswered. If the virus called
Ebola is not causing the current epidemic, then what is? Historically, surrounding
most outbreaks or epidemics there has been a call for vaccination, and Ebola is no
different. The transient question is just what are we vaccinating for? The Swine Flu
fiasco of 1976 reminds us of possible outcomes to what governments and vaccine
companies are now pushing for with regard to Ebola. During that swine-flu
vaccination, an attempt was made to vaccinate every American. 532 people were
partially paralyzed and 32 died, and all for an epidemic that never materialized.

INTRODUCTION
Recently CDC director Tom Frieden, in a press
conference and answering a WXIA-TV reporter,
apparently lost focus for a moment quickly corrected
himself when he said: Right now, there's only one
patient who has ever been diagnosed with TB -- I'm
sorry, with Ebola in the U.S. and that individual
tragically died today. Sometimes the subconscious is not
far from the conscious.
Friedens Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) had recently declared that Diagnosing Ebola in a
person who has been infected for only a few days is
difficult, because the early symptoms, such as fever, are
nonspecific to Ebola infection and are seen often in
patients with more commonly occurring diseases, such
as malaria and typhoid fever (CDC, 2014). Only a sin of
omission, then, would explain why anyone or any group
would not want to specifically mention the most
commonly occurring cause of infectious death in Africa;

TB OR EBOLA?
According to Peter Piot: We saw a gigantic worm likestructure; gigantic by viral standards. Its a very unusual
shape for a virus (Figure 4). To some it might be
considered worm-like, to others serpentine (Figure 5).
Originally, Piots team thought Ebola was either a
rhabdovirus or torovirus.Today its called a Filovirus, on
the observation that it forms filamentous infectious viral
particles. Filoviruses, however, are not alone. M.
tuberculosis, which commonly lodges in and multiplies in
the white cell defenders of our body (called
macrophages)also become filamentous once inside a
macrophage (Chauhan et al., 2996; Figures 6 and 7).
According to the WHO, close contact with the bodily
fluids of people infected with Ebola, for example in
hospitals or at burials, has in the past increased the risk
of infection. Health workers have been advised to wear a
mask and gloves (WHO, 2014b). Yet physicians all
masked and gloved-up have contracted Ebola and
Marburg. WHOs statement is misleading. As far back as
1995, the ability of Ebola to aerosolize or spread through
airborne transmission was reported, studied and
confirmed (Johnson et al., 1995; Jaax et al., 1995).
Ebola, is a communicable airborne infection, just like
tuberculosis.

authors bluntly stated not only that not that much was
known about pandemic spread of Influenza in general
but also that aside from the three years 1918, 1957, and
1968, that had already passed that what was being
said in so far as Influenza was concerned, was mostly
conjecture.
Neurstadt and Fineberg also mentioned that the
recorded severity spread in those years besides the 3
mentioned varied quite enough to buttress contradictory
arguments about what was being called influenza was
not influenza. Nevertheless a hierarchy of American
virologists would see to it that mass vaccination was a
reality in 1976 in the swine flu epidemic which never
was.
If the CDC came into 1976 with a sterling reputation, by
that years end, its Directors actions including the
assertion that Legionnaires disease, a bacteria, was also
influenza would cost the CDC its loss of innocence
leaving a situation, mentioned Neustadt, whereby
future calls for preventative medicine almost surely
would be tagged as crying wolf.
Neustadt and Fineberg implied a strong conviction that
scientists, particularly government scientist health
officials, seemed fueled by a variety of personal
agendas. Time after time the authors/investigators
hinted at disreputable motives on the part of the principal
players, with Communicable Disease Center (CDC) head
David Sencer squarely in their sights.
