Ebola Lab-exit?
In 2013, prior to/at the time of the outbreak, we had:
Garry’s and Andersen’s Consortium operating from Kenema Govt Hospital with a $7 mil grant from NIH to research countermeasures against Ebola as a bioweapon
Tekmira and Wellcome conducting RNAi drug trials - backed by a $140 mil US Dept of Defense grant
Then from 2014, it all went pear-shaped:
Researcher Jon Rappoport reported that on July 23, the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation posted a list of emergency offensive measures to tackle the Ebola outbreak. These included:
Tulane University to stop Ebola testing during the current Ebola outbreak.
That’s strange. Why urgently ban Garry, one the world’s leading bioweapons countermeasure technicians from conducting tests? When you have the worst outbreak ever? Did they discover something untoward going on from his Kenema Government Hospital lab in Sierra Leone, in close proximity to the original outbreak?
Then on Aug 14, 2014, NIH cut off The Consortium’s funding. Or declined to renew it, to put it politely. But with no (public) explanation as to why. Again, strange. If you’re so keen to study Ebola, why cut off funding to the main organization researching it in the middle of an outbreak? They’ve got the samples. It’s a big bio-weapons threat, right?
Finally, in 2015, the Tekmira/Wellcome/US Dept Defense drug trial was cancelled when it came to a statistical endpoint. Had a great ride on the stockmarket before that though.
You could call this a strange set of coincidences, but other health experts suspect something more sinister.
Dr. Cyril Broderick, Liberian scientist: DoD gave a contract worth $140 million dollars to Tekmira .. to conduct Ebola research. This research work involved injecting and infusing healthy humans with the deadly Ebola virus. The DoD is listed as a collaborator in a ‘First in Human Ebola clinical trial’ (NCT02041715), which started in January 2014 shortly before an Ebola epidemic was declared in West Africa in March.
Disturbingly .. the US government has a viral fever bioterrorism research laboratory in Kenema, a town at the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Bob Garry’s show.
The US government funding of Ebola trials on healthy humans comes amid warnings by top scientists in Harvard and Yale that such virus experiments risk triggering a worldwide pandemic.
He got that right.
African countries and people should secure legal representation to seek damages from these countries, some corporations, and the United Nations. Evidence seems abundant against Tulane University, and suits should start there.
Prof Broderick was half-right. We got the worldwide pandemic but sadly no law suits - that didn’t happen - even after Covid. In fact the opposite happened - same way it did after Antrhax - a funding explosion.
NIH grants since Covid:
Robert Garry: $ 54.64 million):
Andersen: $ 23,233,450
Scripps: over $ 6 Billion (Consortium partner, home of Andersen)
