your daily ebola: ARMY FUNDS AIRBORNE VACCINE
But they said it didn’t / couldn’t / wouldn’t / shouldn’t spread that way!!
Citing concerns over “aerosol exposure to Ebola,” the Pentagon awarded a $9.5 million contract to a biotechnology company to manufacture an Ebola vaccine.
The company, Profectus BioSciences, announced today that the Pentagon “contracted the manufacture and … preclinical testing of the Profectus trivalent Ebola/Marburg vaccine” which had previously been tested to “confirm protection of non-human primates from aerosol exposure to Ebola and Marburg viruses.”
“In July 2014, Profectus BioSciences and the GNL were awarded a 3 year, $8.5M grant from the DOD/Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program to support development of a lyophilized trivalent VesiculoVax™-vectored vaccine to protect against all major strains of Ebola and Marburg viruses delivered as aerosols,” the press release stated. “The lyophilized trivalent vaccine is being tested in both pre-exposure and post-exposure studies to confirm protection of non-human primates from aerosol exposure to Ebola and Marburg viruses.”
The development of this vaccine stemmed from the Pentagon’s concern over the airborne transmission of filoviruses such as Ebola which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finally admitted spreads like the flu through coughing and sneezing.
On Monday, the CDC released a pamphlet warning against the “droplet spread” of Ebola which happens “when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person.”
“Is Ebola spread through droplets? Yes,” the pamphlet reads.
But, strangely enough, the CDC’s strict definition of “airborne transmission” is limited to “when a germ floats through the air after a person talks, coughs, or sneezes” and not “when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person,” which are obviously traveling through air as well.
“Note to CDC: 99% of the world doesn’t know the difference, or even care for that matter,” wrote Royce Christyn with Yournewswire.com. “What we want to know is ‘if this person is sick and they sneeze or cough near me, am I going to die?’” [ YES. If IT HITS YOU, IF YOU BREATHE IT, THEN YES YOU ARE. ]
U.S. Army scientists previously demonstrated that the airborne transmission of Ebola was possible “at lower temperature and humidity than that normally present in sub-Saharan Africa” during a 1995 study, and they suggested the high temperatures and humidity present in Africa “may have been a factor limiting aerosol transmission of Ebola virus in the African epidemics.”
So, let me see if I’ve got this right ...
- First of all, this is all from InfoWars, so use your own judgement. They aren’t Official Government News, but OTOH, Big Bother lies to us left and right. Who you gonna trust in the long run?
- The US Army feels Ebola can be transmitted by air. It’s in their medical manual, and has been for years
- The CDC may be using a “depends on your definition of ‘is’ definition” for “airborne” . Maybe the raw stands of virus won’t survive being wafted about by the breezes, but your sneezes will give a moist enough, human enough, mist for them to survive in. For a time, anyway.
- The Army looks at what the CDC calls “droplet spread”, in theory only good for a distance of a meter or there abouts, and says, WTH, it’s in the air as sneeze bits, so it’s airborne. We’re splitting hairs here as far as regular folks are concerned.
- It’s not in this article, but we’ve heard how the virus can survive for at least a short time on non-body tissue surfaces. So I’m guessing, as long as it takes for the sneeze or cough to dry out, the virus can remain nasty?
- That last bit above - the hot and steamy weather conditions in the jungles of Africa might have made it tough for this airborne vector? But over here, where it isn’t so hot, or so moist ... hey, what about that???
On a badness scale of 1 to 10, I’d give this at least a 7.8, a solid Ma Kelly * .

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
