‘Ebola Is Winning’: Outbreak Becomes Deadliest in DR Congo’s History
Breitbart ^ | 8-17-26 | Frances Martel

Posted on 08/17/2026 1:59:36 PM PDT by dynachrome

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) confirmed via its public health agency on Sunday that at least 2,325 people have died of Ebola infections in the current outbreak in the east of the country, making it the deadliest such outbreak in the country’s history.

Experts noted that the extremely high death toll is likely not a full count of the people killed by the disease, as the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) was slow to identify an outbreak in the affected area, and that only one other known Ebola outbreak – the 2014-2016 outbreak in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia – has resulted in more deaths. The death rate of identified patients has increased in the past few months and resources to aid those diagnosed remain insufficient, health experts lament.

The current public health emergency is an outbreak of Ebola Bundibugyo, a strain for which no treatment or cure has been approved at press time. The strain is distinct from Ebola Zaire, the one responsible for the west African outbreak a decade ago and for which a vaccine product exists as a result of research conducted after that outbreak. That the current outbreak is being fueled by Bundibugyo is one of several factors complicating emergency response. The part of DRC affected, the eastern provinces of Ituri and North Kivu, are among the least stable and most remote in the country, plagued by incessant fighting among a host of militias and warlords seeking to control the illicit mining industry.

Yep. Nothing good comes out of Africa. It is the breeding ground for every form of pestilence imaginable.

I worked with black guy who was a retired non-com. One day a young buck was yapping about how he was going to go "back to Africa". Finally the non-com spoke up: "I've been to Africa. I've been all over the world. Africa is a dump. You wouldn't last a week there. I've seen it all, and there no place better than the USA.".

Sounds like there’ll be plenty of space there. Now we can send the Muslims here over to the Congo.

Having traveled pretty extensively in East Africa and southern Africa I am absolutely amazed that millions of people living in such primitive conditions can even survive past the age of five.

Probably because they build up their immune systems.

I had to travel across the globe last couple of weeks.

Every country was asking “have you been to (list of dumps in Africa).

Taking it seriously, too. Going through the passport and looking for stamps.

Used to be five was the cutoff between fertility rate and fecundity rate. Or something like that.

Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six” is based on a clandestine biological weapons program, specifically the development of a highly virulent and engineered strain of Ebola.

It appears that each evolution and exposure of Ebola (or other type of hemorrhagic fever) is more virulent and catastrophic.

Like Rush Limbaugh, Clancy was ahead of his time and great loss to humanity for their forward thinking.

Which should have been step 1 in 2020. All international travel should have been halted immediately. It’s only logical. But it wasn’t. Trump was called racist and xenophobe for suggesting it. That was one of several things that buttressed my instinctive belief that it was all boolsheet.

Was it H.L. Mencken who said that people must be kept fearful by an endless stream of “hoblgoblins”?

Which would lead one to believe that it is being engineered. Viruses naturally become less virulent, not more.

But when you involve the Chinese and the democrats, who knows?
