WHO failure-

"-A failure of WHO experts in the field to send reports to WHO headquarters in Geneva.
-Bureaucratic hurdles preventing $500,000 reaching the response effort in Guinea.
- Doctors unable to get access because visas had not been obtained."
Farmer does bring up the bureaucratic hurdles which also impeded a coordinated Ebola response.
A team assembled by Guinea's health ministry and local office of the WHO started an investigation.
the discovered that transmission was taking place within families and because the borders were so fluid Ebola was spreading.
"But no one communicated it effectively across national borders and in local languages- jobs that many deemed the responsibility of the WHO.
Believe it or not the team wrote a [17] page report upon returning to Conkry "and insisted that they had sent it on to Freetown. But officials in Sierra's Leone health ministry- and the country's WHO representative - later claimed they never saw it."
Some more weirdness- Page 17
Doctors Without Borders must have found the actions of the WHO very odd. So odd that on March 14 they sent a sample to Paris to have them identify what the outbreak was. On March 21 it was confirmed that it was indeed Ebola. Why hadn't the WHO taken on this role, early on
March 31 they issued a press release warning the world of the seriousness of the situation.
April 1 the WHO cautioned against over reaction.
Too late. Now instead of making the patient the center of care the focus was on contact tracing, isolation, and training teams of people to spread the message of fear. The international "swat teams were composed of researchers, managers, health educators, communication specialists, and soldiers."
Then add military forces from around the world descending on these people. Lots of effort into spraying chlorine and there were fewer nurses than epidemiologists. But what about the patients
Now for Billy's plandemic manual he brings up the Ebola outbreak on page 11, the first paragraph has 3 lines- March 11.
Page 56 - "And polio surveillance can often do double duty as they did during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014- 2015, when they were trained to watch for telltale signs of Ebola as well as polio."
Page 70- "More recently, genetic sequencing revealed that a 2021 outbreak in Guinea started with a nurse who had been infected, astonishingly, five years earlier. Scientists were stunned to learn that the virus could remain dormant for so long, and based on this new information, many are now rethinking ways to prevent Ebola outbreaks."
Page 25 in our current thriller- It appears that Ebola was not new to West Africa. "Over the years, Khan and his coworkers had demonstrated that a substantial percentage of patients with signs and symptoms of Lassa fever, but without laboratory evidence of it, did show signs and symptoms of recent Ebola infection. One study put it at more than 8%."
Therefore not rare. They submitted it to one of those trustworthy journals which declined to publish it.
This book is a whopping 526 pages and we're not out of chapter 1.
