With the first Ebola patient identified in the US and reports of a nurse in Madrid Spain also being diagnosed was the Ebola virus a part of a conspiracy to kill Africans that had gotten out of control? That question was the focus of Monday afternoons edition of issues on Freedom Fm.
Guests on the program Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Patrick Martin and Ras Dado Penny saw the outbreak from different perspectives.
Ras Dabo is not convinced Ebola comes from infected Central African fruit bats and was transmitted by humans who ate infected meat or infected animals. In fact he was clear that he believes Ebola to be a “weaponized virus” rooted in chemical and biological weapons research by Germany in the 1930s and perfected in the United States. A weapon used not only to depopulate, but also weaken and strangle the growth of African nations.
He explained that Ebola does not only weaken the health care system in affected areas but it also affects trade and the economy. He says the virus late HIV used in the past is an attack on the survival of African.
He expressed the need to challenge the information received from main stream media as many of these organization are owned and controlled by who he refers to as “the enemy.”
The CMO however is of the view that there is no scientific evidence to establish a conspiracy of any kind. He was also equally clear in his stance that the virus was not created. He explained that whiles he understands to severity the the current outbreak the health system is prepared.
Dr Martin explained that the death rate of the virus is strongly dependent on the heath care system of the affected area.
Dr Martin indicated that there have been 24 previous Ebola outbreaks and he is of the view that this one will be controlled.
