Simply stated, the Ebola Virus is a bioterrorism weapon and is airborne. Those are big statements. The facts will show a unique trail and why the US Federal Government does not want you to know these frightening truths. This is not meant to panic anyone, but inform them of the facts that are being withheld from the American public.
Numerous research studies in the US, and other countries refer to the need for the research and development of vaccines because Filoviruses (strains of Ebola and Hemorrhagic viruses) are a classified as Category A bioterrorism agents.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3070761/ . Yet another study points to the urgency for finding vaccines and treatments due to being one of the most lethal transmissible infections with high death rates (up to 90%). The study also states the ease of global travel, potential for viral spread via the aerosol route. It also cites this is a CDC (Centers for Disease Control) Category A bioterrorism threat and makes this virus a biodefense research priority. http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/5/199/199ra113.long.
The Filoviruses like Ebola have been of interest to the Pentagon since the late 1970s due to their high death rate and its stable nature in aerosol, which make it attractive as a bioterrorism weapon. Since the late 1970s-1980s the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Ft. Detrick, Maryland has been working and contracting out research for vaccines and treatments (Kime, Patricia, Aug. 1, 2014, DoD may send personnel to Africa to help fight Ebola epidemic, www.naytimes.com).
