Ebola Mutating! Discoverer Of Ebola Virus Says "It Is Clear That The Virus Is Mutating"
By Susan Duclos
In a recent release by David Vose he brings our attention to a very concerning article in The Guardian where Dr. Peter Piot, a man that was part of the team that discovered the Ebola virus in 1976, states that the Ebola virus is clearly mutating, as he describes what he calls a "nightmare scenario." Piot is also doubtful that an outbreak in Europe and North America would be as devastating as one that could potentially break out in India due to the health practices and the differences in how doctors and nurses use protective gear.
Question : The virus is continually changing its genetic makeup. The more people who become infected, the greater the chance becomes that it will mutate ...
Answer: : ... which might speed its spread. Yes, that really is the apocalyptic scenario. Humans are actually just an accidental host for the virus, and not a good one. From the perspective of a virus, it isn't desirable for its host, within which the pathogen hopes to multiply, to die so quickly. It would be much better for the virus to allow us to stay alive longer.
Question: Could the virus suddenly change itself such that it could be spread through the air?
Answer: Like measles, you mean? Luckily that is extremely unlikely. But a mutation that would allow Ebola patients to live a couple of weeks longer is certainly possible and would be advantageous for the virus. But that would allow Ebola patients to infect many, many more people than is currently the case.
When asked if that was speculation, his answer was "Certainly. But it is just one of many possible ways the virus could change to spread itself more easily. And it is clear that the virus is mutating."
