1. Did West Africa’s Ebola Outbreak of 2014 Have a Lab Origin?
A team went in to the infected area after the Ebola Pandemic. They went in search of how this virus jumped from animal to human.
Were they part of the coverup?

2. The article goes much more in depth, but I will summarize the article for you...
3. "For their investigation, the Leendertz team surveyed bats in the area surrounding Meliandou...
All-told, the Leendertz team found no sign whatever of Ebola in the area around Meliandou."

4. "The UK Independent led with “Ebola outbreak: Two-year-old boy from tiny Guinea village was first to be infected after playing with bats in tree stump...
Their claimed patient zero, Emile Ouamouno, allegedly caught Ebola after playing with, or maybe hunting, bats."

5. "The Leendertz team concluded that Emile and his mother, who was eight months pregnant at the time, were both Ebola victims, as was a sister who also died. "
Emile Ouamouno died in Meliandou, Guinea, on Dec 6th, 2013

6. They discovered that no blood or other samples were ever taken from any of the suspected Ebola victims.
"Hence no laboratory evidence exists for any of them having had Ebola and so these diagnoses rest on symptoms alone."

7. "Leendertz investigation detected no Ebola in bats or other animals in the vicinity of Meliandou, nor did they uncover any other evidence that an Ebola outbreak had occurred in the region. They also found no evidence that Emile or his immediate contacts had Ebola infections.."
8. While in Meliandou, Chernoh Bah (independent journalist)" also interviewed Emile’s father. According to Bah, the Leendertz team made a crucial error:
“The child was actually 18 months old when he died.”
Emile's father told Reuters:
“The child was actually 18 months old when he died.”
Emile's father told Reuters:
9. “Emile was too young to eat bats, and he was too small to be playing in the bush all on his own. He was always with his mother.”
Bah also identified another apparent error: that Emile had four siblings who never became sick...'

10. Matter of fact the siblings were not mentioned anywhere in the scientific literature.

11. ...but only once has an Ebola outbreak been linked to handling or consumption of bats, and then only tentatively (Leroy et al., 2009)"
12. "After Ebola was first confirmed by laboratory tests in mid-March 2014, persistent rumours in the region linked the outbreak to a US-run research laboratory in Kenema, Sierra Leone (Wilkinson, 2017)."
13. "The Kenema laboratory stands in the grounds of the Kenema Government Hospital (KGH). The lab, but not the hospital, has been operated by the US-based Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium (VHFC) since 2010."
14.“it is difficult not to interpret the ‘zoonotic origin of the West African Ebola epidemic’ narrative advanced by Fabian Leendertz and his team as part of a cover-up or obfuscation of the actual chain of events that laid the foundation for the West African Ebola outbreak” - Bah
15. Though not currently listed as such, in 2014, Metabiota, the self-described “pandemic threat management” company was a VHFC partner as have been other companies.
16. "...we know that Ebola and other viruses were being sought from wild animals in the Congo basin at the time as part of USAID’s PREDICT project."
Key companies were the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) & Metabiota, which, at the time, was at the time a partner of the VHFC.

17. "...in July 2014, during the epidemic, the VHFC wrote a brief report in which they accused ... Metabiota staff at Kenema of culturing cells from Ebola patients, which they insisted was dangerous and should “be stopped immediately.”"
18. "Metabiota issued a qualified denial, but the allegation is highly credible since the two organisations shared the same site; moreover its implications are very great."
19. "Interesting too is the dual role of Metabiota. Besides collecting samples from the wild, Metabiota was also the company that, at least according to MSF and the WHO, obstructed or mishandled testing and diagnosis at Kenema...
20. "...and that Sylvia Blyden (former Sierra Leone Minister of Social Welfare) alleged “messed up the whole region.” If a research error on the part of Metabiota was the source of the strain (and Metabiota’s incompetence has been widely alleged)..."
21. VHFC has profited greatly from the catastrophe and so did Metabiota.
"VHFC now has a clinic three times the size of the old one. In 2016, the US Navy built a brand new clinic at Kenema with state of the art research...'

22. Metabiota moved on after Ebola to bigger projects (tracking Bat Coronaviruses) with the Predict program. They would receive millions more in government funding.
23. "This link between Ebola 2014 and COVID-19 raises a closing question: to what extent is the COVID-19 outbreak, with its likely lab origin, a repeat event?"
24."Such perverse rewards are forms of injustice. Like all injustice, they flourish in the dark. To serve justice, as well as to help prevent future outbreaks, the people of W Africa deserve to have the most intense light possible shed on the question of why Ebola came to them.."
25. There is so much more evidence in this sourced article. I highly recommend you read it. It's explosive.
