Evidence of US Development and Testing of Airborne Ebola
October 25, 2014
Apparently, the military has created an airborne version of Ebola and tested it on monkeys.\
A paper written by E. Johnson, N. Jaax, J. White, and P. Jahrling of US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, Frederick, Maryland was published in 1995 in the International Journal of Experimental Pathology.
The abstract from the paper, Lethal experimental infections of rhesus monkeys by aerosolized Ebola virus, informs:
The potential of aerogenic infection by Ebola virus was established by using a head-only exposure aerosol system. Virus-containing droplets of 0.8-1.2 microns were generated and administered into the respiratory tract of rhesus monkeys via inhalation. Inhalation of viral doses as low as 400 plaque-forming units of virus caused a rapidly fatal disease in 4-5 days. The illness was clinically identical to that reported for parenteral virus inoculation, except for the occurrence of subcutaneous and venipuncture site bleeding and serosanguineous nasal discharge. Immunocytochemistry revealed cell-associated Ebola virus antigens present in airway epithelium, alveolar pneumocytes, and macrophages in the lung and pulmonary lymph nodes; extracellular antigen was present on mucosal surfaces of the nose, oropharynx and airways. Aggregates of characteristic filamentous virus were present within type I pneumocytes, macrophages, and air spaces of the lung by electron microscopy. Demonstration of fatal aerosol transmission of this virus in monkeys reinforces the importance of taking appropriate precautions to prevent its potential aerosol transmission to humans.The military just loves aerosols of all kind, back in 2012 I reported on aerosol testing of a different nature in the US: Manhattan Project Spin-Off: St. Louis Minorities Targeted for Secret Cold War Chemical Testing.
News of an airborne version of Ebola being tested by the US military, thus, should come as no surprise. I reported earlier that a top international disease scientist, who spent time in West Africa during other outbreaks of Ebola has contacted and informed me that the United States government considers Ebola a strategic weapon.
