UK Scientists Rushing to Create Ebola Vaccine Using COVID Jab Technology
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 24, 2026 | Cassandra MacDonald

The effort comes as a new outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) announced it is urgently producing its candidate vaccine, ChAdOx1 BDBV, which could enter human clinical trials in as little as two to three months if animal testing succeeds.

The Bundibugyo Ebolavirus is one of the less common but still highly lethal strains of Ebola.

Unlike the more frequently seen Zaire strain, there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific treatments approved for Bundibugyo virus disease.

The WHO and local authorities have described the situation as “spreading rapidly,” with contact tracing and quarantine efforts underway. However, the risk to the UK and broader Europe remains low, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

The candidate vaccine is a monovalent (single-strain) ChAdOx1 BDBV vaccine specifically targeting the Bundibugyo Ebolavirus.

It uses the ChAdOx1 viral vector platform, the same chimpanzee adenovirus-based technology used for the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

This platform was chosen because it is “highly adjustable” and can be quickly modified to target different pathogens.

In the statement, the OVG emphasized they are “working urgently” while adhering to “established scientific, ethical, and regulatory standards.”

The statement read in part:

Who here did not see this coming, based on what happened in 2020-21?

No. I’m happy where I am.

It has earned the attention of international funders such as The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and the World Health Organization.

Clearly. It’s literally the old school attenuated virus design that’s been around for 100+ years. FDA approved in 2019 and a 100% efficacy rate.

There is no need for experimental BS like this.

Gee. Didn't see that one coming.

And I'll bet they're doing it the UK because there would be a serious pushback in the US (like a few million Luigis).

Oh, I don’t know. I’d volunteer that group of Congan yutes who busted their buddy’s highly infectious corpse out of the clinic where he’d died, then burned the clinic down

Why would it be effective against Ebola?
When it wasn’t effective against COVID.

Read the article before commenting. Those ‘old school vaccines’ don’t work against this variant.

“Unlike the more frequently seen Zaire strain, there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific treatments approved for Bundibugyo virus disease.”

Masks, social distancing, house arrest and massive fraud as we relieve the covid 19 bull sh*t.
