Ebola and the Social Contract

When no one is punished, in fact, the perpetrators are rewarded, you can expect this kind of thing to go on and on.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) is funding Ebola trials on humans, trials which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone. The reports continue and state that the DoD gave a contract worth $140 million dollars to Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to conduct Ebola research. This research work involved injecting and infusing healthy humans with the deadly Ebola virus. Hence, 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.

Then there is this, as if someone designed this strain...

Dr. Osterholm just gave a talk shown on C-Span explaining that a top Ebola virologist – the Head of Special Pathogens at Canada’s health agency, Gary Kobinger – has found that the current strain of Ebola appears to be much worse than any strain seen before … and that the current virus may be more likely to spread through aerosols than strains which scientists have previously encountered.

There is no way, we have no effective means of law enforcement to address this, so the only means would be truth commissions.  Who, what, where, when and why.  Even capital crimes must be immune, pardon the pun, to get at the truth.  Maybe then, we might take steps to curb some of the terror.  Instead, we blame the black guy.
