UK Scientists Rushing to Create Ebola Vaccine Using COVID Jab Technology

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:

The natural source of the Ebola virus is believed to be fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family, which serve as the host without showing symptoms. The virus spills over into human populations through close contact with infected wildlife, such as chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, and forest antelopes, typically contracted via hunting or consuming bushmeat.

Fauci: Just change the labels on the expired ones. Call them anti-Ebola and alter the dates. And I want the money in Bitcoins, not your stupid pounds over there.

There are 2-4 old school vaccines for Ebola that work well.

No need for this.

I asked Google what was more likely, catching Ebola or hitting the lottery.

The lottery ! Yes you have a chance to win .

Ebola ? It said , living in the USA , the odds of catching Ebola are zero. Zero . 0.

It’s probable there’s a lot of people in DRC and Uganda that are damn happy about this.
