You might consider basing your scientific beliefs on something better than the 'Hot Zone' in the future.

Thanks for the book recommendation, but I'll get my information from the CDC:

"Ebola-Reston appeared in a primate research facility in Virginia, where it may have been transmitted from monkey to monkey through the air. While all Ebola virus species have displayed the ability to be spread through airborne particles (aerosols) under research conditions, this type of spread has not been documented among humans in a real-world setting, such as a hospital or household."CDC Ebola Information Page

Prove to me that Zaire isn't capable of airborne transmission.

I think the above quote covers this issue very nicely. Of course Zaire can be transmitted as an aerosol...any body fluid from an infected individual is loaded with the virus. Reston was different, because simians in rooms only connected by a ventilation system were also affected.

I'd be terribly interested to hear this from you considering that this is my exact field of research.

I think you've already given us a number of reasons to doubt your "credentials".
