Doctor Who Discovered Ebola In 1976 Fears "Unimaginable Tragedy"
"In 1976 I discovered Ebola - now I fear an unimaginable tragedy" - Peter Piot was a researcher at a lab in Antwerp when a pilot brought him a blood sample from a Belgian nun who had fallen mysteriously ill in Zaire. Now, the Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine warns, "around June it became clear to me there was something different about this outbreak. I began to get really worried."
...
After Yambuku, you spent the next 30 years of your professional life devoted to combating Aids. But now Ebola has caught up to you again. American scientists fear that hundreds of thousands of people could ultimately become infected. Was such an epidemic to be expected?
No, not at all. On the contrary, I always thought that Ebola, in comparison to Aids or malaria, didn't present much of a problem because the outbreaks were always brief and local. Around June it became clear to me that there was something fundamentally different about this outbreak. At about the same time, the aid organisation Médecins Sans Frontières sounded the alarm. We Flemish tend to be rather unemotional, but it was at that point that I began to get really worried.
Why did WHO react so late?
On the one hand, it was because their African regional office isn't staffed with the most capable people but with political appointees. And the headquarters in Geneva suffered large budget cuts that had been agreed to by member states. The department for haemorrhagic fever and the one responsible for the management of epidemic emergencies were hit hard. But since August WHO has regained a leadership role.
There is actually a well-established procedure for curtailing Ebola outbreaks: isolating those infected and closely monitoring those who had contact with them. How could a catastrophe such as the one we are now seeing even happen?
I think it is what people call a perfect storm: when every individual circumstance is a bit worse than normal and they then combine to create a disaster. And with this epidemic there were many factors that were disadvantageous from the very beginning. Some of the countries involved were just emerging from terrible civil wars, many of their doctors had fled and their healthcare systems had collapsed. In all of Liberia, for example, there were only 51 doctors in 2010, and many of them have since died of Ebola.
The fact that the outbreak began in the densely populated border region between Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia ...
… also contributed to the catastrophe. Because the people there are extremely mobile, it was much more difficult than usual to track down those who had had contact with the infected people. Because the dead in this region are traditionally buried in the towns and villages they were born in, there were highly contagious Ebola corpses travelling back and forth across the borders in pickups and taxis. The result was that the epidemic kept flaring up in different places.
For the first time in its history, the virus also reached metropolises such as Monrovia and Freetown. Is that the worst thing that can happen?
In large cities – particularly in chaotic slums – it is virtually impossible to find those who had contact with patients, no matter how great the effort. That is why I am so worried about Nigeria as well. The country is home to mega-cities like Lagos and Port Harcourt, and if the Ebola virus lodges there and begins to spread, it would be an unimaginable catastrophe.
Have we completely lost control of the epidemic?
I have always been an optimist and I think that we now have no other choice than to try everything, really everything. It's good that the United States and some other countries are finally beginning to help. But Germany or even Belgium, for example, must do a lot more. And it should be clear to all of us: This isn't just an epidemic any more. This is a humanitarian catastrophe. We don't just need care personnel, but also logistics experts, trucks, jeeps and foodstuffs. Such an epidemic can destabilise entire regions. I can only hope that we will be able to get it under control. I really never thought that it could get this bad.
What can really be done in a situation when anyone can become infected on the streets and, like in Monrovia, even the taxis are contaminated?
We urgently need to come up with new strategies. Currently, helpers are no longer able to care for all the patients in treatment centres. So caregivers need to teach family members who are providing care to patients how to protect themselves from infection to the extent possible. This on-site educational work is currently the greatest challenge. Sierra Leone experimented with a three-day curfew in an attempt to at least flatten out the infection curve a bit. At first I thought: "That is totally crazy." But now I wonder, "why not?" At least, as long as these measures aren't imposed with military power.
A three-day curfew sounds a bit desperate.
Yes, it is rather medieval. But what can you do? Even in 2014, we hardly have any way to combat this virus.
Do you think we might be facing the beginnings of a pandemic?
There will certainly be Ebola patients from Africa who come to us in the hopes of receiving treatment. And they might even infect a few people here who may then die. But an outbreak in Europe or North America would quickly be brought under control. I am more worried about the many people from India who work in trade or industry in west Africa. It would only take one of them to become infected, travel to India to visit relatives during the virus's incubation period, and then, once he becomes sick, go to a public hospital there. Doctors and nurses in India, too, often don't wear protective gloves. They would immediately become infected and spread the virus.
The virus is continually changing its genetic makeup. The more people who become infected, the greater the chance becomes that it will mutate ...
... which might speed its spread. Yes, that really is the apocalyptic scenario. Humans are actually just an accidental host for the virus, and not a good one. From the perspective of a virus, it isn't desirable for its host, within which the pathogen hopes to multiply, to die so quickly. It would be much better for the virus to allow us to stay alive longer.
Could the virus suddenly change itself such that it could be spread through the air?
Like measles, you mean? Luckily that is extremely unlikely. But a mutation that would allow Ebola patients to live a couple of weeks longer is certainly possible and would be advantageous for the virus. But that would allow Ebola patients to infect many, many more people than is currently the case.
But that is just speculation, isn't it?
Certainly. But it is just one of many possible ways the virus could change to spread itself more easily. And it is clear that the virus is mutating.
You and two colleagues wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal supporting the testing of experimental drugs. Do you think that could be the solution?
Patients could probably be treated most quickly with blood serum from Ebola survivors, even if that would likely be extremely difficult given the chaotic local conditions. We need to find out now if these methods, or if experimental drugs like ZMapp, really help. But we should definitely not rely entirely on new treatments. For most people, they will come too late in this epidemic. But if they help, they should be made available for the next outbreak.
Testing of two vaccines is also beginning. It will take a while, of course, but could it be that only a vaccine can stop the epidemic?
I hope that's not the case. But who knows? Maybe.
In Zaire during that first outbreak, a hospital with poor hygiene was responsible for spreading the illness. Today almost the same thing is happening. Was Louis Pasteur right when he said: "It is the microbes who will have the last word"?
Of course, we are a long way away from declaring victory over bacteria and viruses. HIV is still here; in London alone, five gay men become infected daily. An increasing number of bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. And I can still see the Ebola patients in Yambuku, how they died in their shacks and we couldn't do anything except let them die. In principle, it's still the same today. That is very depressing. But it also provides me with a strong motivation to do something. I love life. That is why I am doing everything I can to convince the powerful in this world to finally send sufficient help to west Africa. Now!

BTW, something that is NOT make clear in the Mainstream Lying Media, is that Ebola is a sexually transmitted disease. Since incubation can take 21 days, a carrier can infect others while remaining asymptomatic.
WADR Sir,
This is not your Ebola we improved it and patented it- now cease with claims of ownership.
Contemptuously Yours,
The US government
If Ebola can not be transmitted through the air, then why have two nurses in Spain who were protected from direct contact with contaminated fluids now infected?
Dammit! I really wanted to make the first comment but I spent all day renewing my health insurance for the coming year.
PS Pinto..... Exactamundo. Not only the ones in Spain where the protective protocols one would assume be rather robust, but even in the Deepest Darkest of Africa, the health care givers are dropping like flies.
It doesn't make sense, any more than bringing the sick back here or not corodoning off the entire West of Africa.
"it was because their African regional office isn't staffed with the most capable people but with political appointees."
Probably explains a substantial portion of why this outbreak is different. I'd bet real cash money that's going on at the CDC right now, too.
They're all political appointees.

Wait a minute... I thought Dr. Who was a fictional character.
It was actually in 1970 to be exact, when I discovered it. I was in my third incarnation and discovered it at UNIT. The Silurians developed it, so they can exterminate humanity and re-inhabit earth's surface. So yes David Icke's Reptilian theories are correct.

Listen.
"YOU" discovered it. Are you such an incompetent doctor that in 38 fucking years "YOU" could not engineer an antidote?
"PATHETIC"!!
Fuck you ebola "DOC". --The People.

I'm having trouble finding units that have their APF listed.
Four years ago, quietly and without public notice, the Obama administration scrapped quarantine plans from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) which could have blocked travelers with the deadly Ebola virus from entering the U.S.
http://www.Newsmax.com/Headline/Ebola-CDC-Obama/2014/10/03/id/598485/#ixzz3FQ65wqGC
Here's a news-flash. Human beings are mortal. We live. We eat. We laugh. We cry. We shit. We die. If it's not Ebola, it'll be something else. Nobody gets out alive. So stop worrying all the time.
You can check out anytime Doofus. It'd be one less vector for the rest of us to worry about.
Stop eating monkey meat.

Are French fried smelly feet still OK????
As long as they're thoroughly fried. Greasy grimy gopher guts, on the other hand, are right out.
But you can still spank it.
Your monkey, that is.
Yup and it is now being released in West Africa as a trial run after its latest modification in the US. Seen that one of late.
And the fucker can time travel too. Dr Who sucks.
What sucks is the food your restaurant including the chili which is made out of leftover and semi-rancid hamburger patty meat and you keep reserving by adding hot water. I know a Wendy's that recycled the same batch of chili for over a week until they threw out the last of it because it wasn't elidible for human consumption.
I challenge anyone to find a better synopsis of Ebola than this.

This sort of scenario certainly isn't helping:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/world/africa/sierra-leone-ebola-medica...
Don't worry. Ebola is really hard to get. That's why trained medical professionals who know they are dealing with infected individuals and have full hazmat gear are still somehow contracting the disease.
"A nurse in Spain has become the first person to contract Ebola outside of West Africa in the latest epidemic, authorities said on Monday. ...The nurse entered the priest's room twice: Once to treat him and once upon his death, to recover his belongings, officials said. She began showing signs of illness on Sept. 30 and sought treatment, they said. "
Exactly
Q: Is it possible to get Ebola from just being close to anybody, like on a plane, breathing the same air?
A: No. Unequivocally not. You must be a healthcare worker properly dressed in at least STAGE/LEVEL 4 bio-warfare clothing to get infected.
Q: And it has no genetic markers this time around?
A: Correct. That's why all the black people are dying and we'll soon find out how it works on Middle Eastern folks at the hajj. Plus if you were born in Hawaii, you're immune.
Q: Then I really don't have to worry?
A: No, you can take a sex-cation to western Africa and have all the unprotected sex, spit swapping and finger lickin' good foreplay you want.
Gee thanks, Mr Wizard.
Anytime, Billy.

You should start an advice to the love shorn column, knucks.
That's precious;)
I am going with:
The virus was/is semi-aerosolized by the spray-down the nurses get after being in an infected zone. Either they get it from themselves, or from the spray-off of others being hosed down around them.
P.S Good luck to the Mexican chap who was power-spraying the ebo-puke of the Texas sidewalk.
2 nurses? I read yesterday it was a single nurse. Is 2 the current accurate number?!?
If they keep messing around importing this bug, it's almost certain to go air born. This experiment has been run.
Reston involved crab monkeys, macaques from the Phillipines. An alert vet running the place noticed a new and frightening disease and contacted Fort Detrick, just across the Potomac. The virus reacted to Ebola antibodies.
The army came in, sacrificed the monkeys (like that term?) and bug bombed the building with formaldehyde gas, the same stuff you smelled in biology class. With 20/20 hindsight it is clear they didn't get it all. When new monkeys were brought in a few weeks later they became infected, and the disease was clearly air born.
It appears that the virus hid in the air ducts. By killing the bugs that were easily reached, the army helped select for those strains which had traveled furthest. The same thing could happen, every time a medical facility is cleaned. Worried yet? Here's the kicker. Reston 1 killed about half the monkeys. Par for the course.
The air born Reston 2..., killed 100%.
How Ironic, as I type this I am sitting about one block from the exact location in Reston all that took place....wonderful, just wonderful......we....are.....fucked....
At the time, early nineties, I was living in Falls Church, just a few miles down wind.
Is the building still used as a Day Care Center? Not the same building, but still...,
the mind boggles.
I once lived in Falls Church. What a commute.

When this gets to Bangalore, do you think the State Department will say, "Let's send our finest medical teams to Bangalore?"

Latina Lover -- I've also heard that Ebola remains active in semen much longer so that survival of the virus doesn't mean you are free of it. Would be curious whether that's truly the case,.

I just got through reading this article on another site and had posted this on George Washington's post above.
UUhhhh......GUYS AND GALS ????
I have discovered something a bit....interesting....and disturbing.
This article came out today with an interview of the scientist who first discovered Ebola in 1976. In he says....
"Professor Piot, as a young scientist in Antwerp, you were part of the team that discovered the Ebola virus in 1976. How did it happen?
I still remember exactly. One day in September, a pilot from Sabena Airlines brought us a shiny blue Thermos and a letter from a doctor in Kinshasa in what was then Zaire. In the Thermos, he wrote, there was a blood sample from a Belgian nun who had recently fallen ill from a mysterious sickness in Yambuku, a remote village in the northern part of the country."
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/04/ebola-zaire-peter-piot-outb...
The Ebola sample, which know one had identified yet came from Kinshasa. I knew I had read that name in the news just a few days ago. Well......here it is again.....but only about AIDS !
"An international team of scientists say a "perfect storm" of population growth, sex and railways allowed HIV to spread.
A feat of viral archaeology was used to find the pandemic's origin, the team report in the journal Science.
They used archived samples of HIV's genetic code to trace its source, with evidence pointing to 1920s Kinshasa."
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29442642
What is up with KINSHASA ? Is it all the infected bush meat, especially fruit bats that they eat there ?
Probably more related to all the lot lizards that run around there for the truckers....dirty hoe's...
Nice catch.
The construction of the Kinshasa Highway brought many problems out of the deep dark jungle.

Watch this as a refresher course.......
I read the Piot article as well last week. Gee, remember when AIDS was a US gov't plot to kill all US homosexual men?
LOL. I was trying to figure out which of the Doctors it was. I'd have some hope if it was David Tennant, Peter Capaldi or John Hurt Doctors. Not sure if Tom Baker could have handled it.
Definitely Jon Pertwee!
Obama = The Unimaginable Tragedy
It is a shame and joke that Congress, the joke judicial system and the cowardly military are incapable of upholding The Constitution.
The people of NovoRussia almost overnight had average men step up and take on the criminal ZATO junta's murderers and nazis.
Congress should be conducting an investigation into the origin of the EV-D68 virus that is crippling and killing young children in the US. If the likely source is found to be the thousands of illegal unaccompanied minors who were shipped all over the US this summer, Obama and Holder should face charges.
It's chemtrails.
I'm in an area where the hospitals are swamped with respiratory sick kids diag'd with this "sudden virus out of nowhere". HEAVY spraying going on. Eight planes over my house today. Drove 20 mi south today, same everywhere & the skies are thick.

Yeah because viruses do so well at 35k in cold and extreme UV expsoure.

Here's the guy, "a fake medical emergency" was the ebola of the day.
http://gilligan.wikia.com/wiki/Wrongway_Feldman
The math, 20k cases, doubes 15-21 days, 90 days to Christmas, so 800,000 to 1 million E. cases by year end.
Let's pray for that its contained in W. Africa and it peaks. Nigeria was reportedly contained. But who knows the real facts.
"On the one hand, it was because their African regional office isn't staffed with the most capable people but with political appointees"
I'd strike "African regional office" and insert "their global offices"
"And they might even infect a few people here who may then die. But an outbreak in Europe or North America would quickly be brought under control."
From the guy who discovered it. That is quite the statement.
My Grandma says ‘wrap a strong of garlic and arugula around you neck…you’ll be fine.”
Mmm … seems as effective as the expensive stuff CDC has.
she was probably talking about vampires; that stuff really works
Don't forget about collidal silver treatment. Use some of that stacking to save your life.
you feelin' better now?
the guy also says this:
then why did that nun who tended to the Spanish priest get it?
seems this prof from Antwerp is not looking at the full spectrum
We've only had one case in North America over a week ago and we still have no idea whether it is under control or not, and we will not know for at least another month, by which time other flare-ups could occur, or we could find out that it is not under control. No one even knows for sure what the carrier for the virus is, or what potential carriers still exist that have not been exposed. What if American cattle or chicken become carriers? The genie is now out of the bottle and there are multiple scenarios in which the virus can not be brought under control and becomes a long-term pandemic. Statements that one continent will be the last to succumb offer little hope. In the absence of stopping it in Africa the world is offering up its collective throat to Jihadi John.

Scary read.
"We found that 40 of 159 dogs living in the 2001-2002 Ebola virus-epidemic area had detectable Ebola virus-specific IgG, indicating either true infection or simple antigenic stimulation. All the tests were standardized at the 1:400 serum dilution, and most serum specimens had high OD values even at higher dilutions, confirming the specificity of the reactions. These data are consistent with observations we made during the different Ebola outbreaks that occurred in Gabon and the Republic of Congo in recent years. We observed that some dogs ate fresh remains of Ebola virus infected dead animals brought back to the villages, and that others licked vomit from Ebola virus-infected patients. Together, these findings strongly suggest that dogs can be infected by Ebola virus, and that some pet dogs living in affected villages were infected during the 2001-2002 human Ebola virus outbreak. No circulating Ebola antigens or viral DNA sequences (tested by PCR) were detected in either positive or negative serum specimens, and attempts to isolate virus from these samples failed. These findings indicate either old, transient Ebola infection of the tested dogs, or antigenic stimulation."
Not clear whether they were actually infected (or just exposed to inactive virus), but they had antibodies.
Dallas County health officials and a District Court judge all went in the Duncan apartment without PPE being worn. Compare that with the doctors and nurses who continue to become infected following level 4 protocols. The CDC is reported to have allowed some of Duncan's close contacts out of quarantine (Louise's daughter and son-in-law). If there isn't another case to come from Duncan it will be blind luck. The Obama administration is adamant that there will be no ban on travel to the US from W. Africa. They will eventually be forced to change this insane policy.
By the time Obola gets around to banning flights, Ebola could be so prevalent in the USA that letting a few more in or out won't make a difference.
I don't think it will take that long for Obama to give in to pressure. He said he was confident in the Secret Service director, and the next day she was gone.
Democrats make everything a political issue, even disease. The President had better get a little luck and hope this thing does not spread. It if does he and the whole Democrat party will become the party of ebola and you can rest assured nearly 100% of them will go down in political defeat...if not worse.
This is what happens when genuinely stupid, sociopathic primarily political people run your life.
Does anyone know if this current strain is the one the US owns the patent on?
Something has to be done to contain the Chinese economic expansion in Africa.

with the CDC and NIH recommending free travel for maximum human interaction (baffling to me) as the best way to contain the disease, this researcher is on the right track.
Yes, but the CDC said quarantining only spreads the infection worse.
It's one of those paradoxes.
Sort of like "a jobless rekovery."

I'll become less worried when the African outbreak stops doubling every 20 days. ( and a working vaccine is found )
As of Oct 1, total cases were 7,482 and deaths were 3,439. There is an article from Breitbart that says Sierra Leone just reported 121 deaths in a single day. Thats one every 12 minutes. As of Aug 31, the WHO had total cases at 3,685 and deaths at 1,841, so total cases have done a bit more than a double in 31 days and deaths a bit less than a double. Of course how many volenteers are there for counting dead people.
Nov 1 = 15,000
Dec 1 = 30,000

"It's like they all just disappeared."
just "key the mike if you can hear me, son"...
And they might even infect a few people here who may then die. But an outbreak in Europe or North America would quickly be brought under control...
Add this maggot's name to the list of assholes to blame when it gets out of control.
To shoot, you mean.
If this breaks bad, either the shooter or the shootee is likely to be dead. That's one way to resolve conflict!
he is definitely lying
Was thinking same exact thing.
But that is just speculation, isn't it?
Certainly. But it is just one of many possible ways the virus could change to spread itself more easily. And it is clear that the virus is mutating

They've lied about so many other things, these politicians, that even were they to briefly tell the truth no one would believe them.
The old Harry Mudd conumdrum -- if everything they say is a lie, what does it mean if they say they're lying?
The 70's. Ebola discovered, Exploding Ford Pintos, President Nixon suspending convertibility of dollar into GOLD, Three Mile Island disaster, The movie Airport '77, the entire Presidency of Jimmy Carter, plaid pants and butterfly collars, etc. etc.
Good Times! Good Times I tell ya'

The Silver Queen, Blythe Masters, may know. A little waterboarding may be necessary to get her to talk though.
I've been praying to the imaginary old grey bearded guy in the sky that the bitch will catch Ebola, along with all the other scumbags in Washington DC and Fraud street.
