Read an article yesterday that said the Congo Ebola was 2 different strains of Ebola and neither were the same as the Zaire Ebola(mutated) outbreak in West Africa. So we now have 3 different strains this year.

Different strains requiring different serums. Then we’ll be faced with the virus building immunities against it and mutating further.

How could this guy get the Zaire serum? I thought we were told there was no more. More lies.

They confirmed today that it was the Zaire form (posted either on the Ebola Surveillance Thread or Pandemic Flu Information Forum). They have not completed the sequencing however to determine if it is old or new Zaire Ebola.
