At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this PJ Media article, David Manney argues that the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa is serious enough to demand vigilance, but not another round of fear-driven “pandemic theater.”
- The article focuses on a Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, describing it as dangerous but not a reason for Americans to panic.
- The World Health Organization declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, while also noting that it does not meet the criteria for a pandemic emergency.
- Manney says the situation deserves attention because of regional instability, population movement, cross-border risk, and the lack of approved vaccines or specific treatments for Bundibugyo Ebola.
- Reported case numbers remain fluid, with the article citing CDC and regional figures ranging from 246 suspected cases and 80 deaths to later estimates closer to 750 suspected cases and roughly 177 deaths.
- Uganda’s Health Ministry reportedly confirmed additional cases connected to known contacts, including a driver, a health worker, and a Congolese woman who had traveled into Uganda.
- The article contrasts Bundibugyo Ebola with the more familiar Zaire Ebola strain, noting that Zaire Ebola has approved vaccine tools while Bundibugyo does not.
- Manney argues that public skepticism after COVID did not appear out of nowhere, pointing to lockdowns, shifting guidance, school closures, censorship fights, and elite hypocrisy.
- The author says the proper response is surveillance, screening where needed, contact tracing, honest reporting, and medical humility—not clickbait panic.
- The piece concludes that Americans can care about those suffering in Africa and respect frontline medical workers while still refusing to surrender judgment to another fear campaign.
