The great Ebola lie — Outbreak hyped for funding & media attention
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... headline blared: “New Ebola Cases May Soon Reach 10,000 a Week, Officials Predict.” The “soon” in that warning from the WHO’s Bruce Aylward was “by the first week in December.” Well, the WHO has now reported cases for that period. Total: 529. It was no fluke; the average over the last three weeks was 440. The global health bureaucrats certainly won’t admit that their own numbers show that the epidemic peaked before the WHO had even begun to act. They’ve gotten away with it time and again. With AIDS, SARS, avian flu, swine flu and two past Ebola hysterias. And they’ll keep repeating this Chicken Little game as long as the media keep falling for it and the politicians keep rewarding it with billions of dollars.

Death toll in Ebola outbreak rises to 7,588 - WHO [Ynet] The global corpse count from Ebola has risen to 7,588 out of 19,497 confirmed cases recorded in the year-old epidemic raging in West Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday. The virus is still spreading intensely in Sierra Leone, especially in the north and west, with 315 new confirmed cases reported in the former British colony in the week before December 21, it said. These included 115 cases in the capital Freetown. "The neighbouring district of Port Loko experienced a surge in new cases, reporting 92 confirmed cases compared with 56 the previous week," the WHO said. Posted by: trailing wife 2014-12-25 |
