While the world focuses on developing new genetic vaccines for Ebola (such as the Oxford-ChAdOx1 platform vaccine), other causes of death in Africa receive significantly less attention despite causing far more deaths annually—malaria causes 579,000 deaths in Africa alone, while the worst Ebola outbreak caused 11,300 deaths; additionally, 13 million children in Africa are acutely malnourished and 62 million are stunted, yet these preventable conditions receive minimal media coverage compared to Ebola.

Ebola vaccine soonAdded:
Well, you're most welcome to this talk.
Now, I want to start off by reiterating my firm belief that there will be no Ebola virus pandemic spreading widespread in Western countries. We're not going to see widespread person-toperson transmission. There's not going to be a pandemic because it's not spread via respiratory means like previous pandemics have.
Now, you'll be pleased, interested, concerned to learn that new genetic vaccines for the Ebola virus are currently being developed. The one that's probably going to come first in terms of arriving first probably is going to be the Oxford vaccine produced by the serum institute in India. And you might remember that because it's a very very similar platform to the Oxford Astroenica vaccine that was used for SARS Corona virus 2. In this video, we want to look at the scale of the outbreak that's happening at the moment.
And we want to compare that to other causes of death in Africa such as malaria and tuberculosis which have way more people dying. But the world's not talking about this. So why is the world bouncing up and down about Ebola Ebola virus when other causes of death in Africa and other parts of the world that could be corrected are completely ignored while this new vaccine is being uh developed to treat the Ebola or to try and cortel the Ebola pandemic after the initial failure of international agencies to do so. So that's kind of what this video is about. It's a few few not contradictions but a few paradoxes here that we're going to wrestle with and hopefully by the end of the video you'll be uh no more enlightened than you are at the moment. So let's look at the detail now. Uh now on on the bad news side this is going to be the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history sadly I believe. Now, I am not minimizing this awful, awful disease, and there's been outbreaks in the past, and I think this is going to be the worst of all Ebola virus outbreaks. So, let's just look at that briefly. Um previous history uh West African Ebola epidemic of 14 to 16 um Guinea Liberia se Sierra Leone mostly 28,600 cases more than 11,300 deaths probably quite a few more than that but terrible but that those kind of numbers.
So we're looking at about 11,000 deaths now. This current outbreak could be worse. We could easily see 50,000 deaths. I mean, I really hope we don't, but we could see we could see a 100,000 deaths. It's it's unlikely, but it's possible the way that the um the the epidemic is still rapidly spreading in in African regions, particularly Democratic Republic of Congo. So, this has been bad in the past. um outbreak began in 2013 in Guinea, spread across borders into densely populated urban areas and we are seeing this starting to happen again. So the spread at the moment is still accelerating. Second largest outbreak DRC where the current outbreak is 2018 to 2020. 3,400 cases diagnosed. Of course, there was way more than that. Deaths 2,300. So we're talking about the worst one so far has been 11,300 deaths. And as we say, we could see quite a few more than that this time.
that that that's possible. But when we look at global deaths from malaria, you see why is this um Ebola virus all over the news? Why is the world taking such an interest?
Because with malaria uh in malaria, just to name one disease, um there's been uh 282 million cases globally with 610,000 deaths. In Africa in 2024, malaria deaths and cases, well, in Africa alone in 2024, uh there was 265 million cases of malaria. And with malaria, people can get really, really, really sick and 579,000 deaths from malaria. That's from malaria alone. Compared that to the worst case scenario so far of Ebola, 11,300. So, we see multiple tens of more people dying of malaria, but we don't see this plastered all over the news for some reason. Um, it seems it seems a bit inconsistent to me that there's so many malaria deaths and yet um we've got so much publicity for the for the Ebola virus. Children under five in Africa accounted for 75% of all deaths in Africa. This is just an appalling indictment.
uh 75% of these terrible amounts of deaths were children um often very young children. So other causes of death in Africa again plenty of evidence on this do check the references for yourself. Low respiratory infections 774,000 deaths again largely in children.
Diarrhea diseases 496,000 deaths again largely in children. And again, just to remind ourselves, the worst case of Ebola outbreak so far, 11,300 deaths.
So, we see this is absolutely dwarfed by these other causes of death that we're not seeing discussed on the news. When was the last time you saw a news article about malaria killing lots of children in Africa? When was the last time you saw a news article about diarrheal ill, diarrhea and vomiting, gastroenstein infections killing huge amounts of children in Africa and how easy this would be to prevent, how easy this would be to stop by using fairly simple interventions such as clean water supply and oral rehydration salts.
Not not really very interesting. So it would appear. So it's not in the news.
HIV uh AIDS still killing 435,000 people a year in 2024. Essic heart disease 429,000 deaths. Stroke uh 426,000 deaths. Infectious tuberculosis 378,000 deaths and road injuries uh 279,000 deaths. So the these are dwarfing the deaths that we're seeing from the Ebola and and yet we're getting all this publicity about the the Ebola virus. So very strange really that some causes of death are getting massive publicity, other causes of death are getting essentially zero publicity. Part of the reason we have this channel is is to publicize things that the mainstream media doesn't talk about. And what what about what about malnutrition?
I mean you know world leaders of and international agencies have continually failed to um ensure that children are adequately nourished. Let me just show you this um this graphic here which is really an indictment on on everyone really um this one. So this is showing um African and Asian regions have the highest stunting prevalence. So this is children that are stunted. Uh and we see in in a lot of Africa and some Asian regions it's over 30%. And we see that globally 23.2% of children are are stunted. They have stunted growth due to uh malnutrition.
Now to be fair to politicians with their degrees in philosophy, politics and economics, this probably isn't covered in their course. And it is technically medically really quite difficult but I'll try and explain it to you. Uh hungry kids need food.
Hungry hungry kids need to be nourished.
I know it's a bit technically difficult difficult for some people but you know we need to give hungry kids food and we need to stop such a huge amount uh being stunted with stunted growth as we see there 23.2% of the world's population still and the highest numbers in Africa and uh the subcontinent but we also see very high numbers in in in other parts of the world.
So huge problem there.
Again, not seeing that on the news very much. Certainly not in the mainstream media current news. So bit strange really, but hungry kids need food just in case that wasn't covered in your PPE degrees from your Ivory Ivy League and rebrick universities world leaders. Um just get food to hungry kids. How hard can it be? feed hungry children. Data from Nairobi 20 23rd of April 2025. This is the latest data. Uh acutely malnourished children in Africa 13 million. Acutely malnourished 13 million compared to the amount of potential deaths that we could get from um as we saw in the last case uh we saw 11,300 deaths. Again, we could see many more this time, but compared that to 13 million with acute malnutrition who need the high-tech medical intervention, not of a genetically modified vaccine, but of something to eat.
Bit of a contradiction really. I don't pretend to understand it. Severe severe acute malnutrition, Sam. Basically, this is life-threatening severe acute malnutrition. 4 million children in Africa in 2025.
Outrageous, unacceptable, not on the news very often. Stunting, as we've seen on on this graphic here, stunting means um uh stunting means that the person is not reaching their full height or their full potential. So, a child who is malnourished is going to be stunted.
This means they'll never reach their genetic potential of height, of physical vigor, of fitness, of immuno competence, of mental function. You know, we've got children all over the world who are growing up to be adults whose intellect is significantly impaired because of childhood malnutrition. And of course, this potentiates the vicious the vicious spiral. And we can break this by giving these kids adequate food and nutrition.
lots of deficiencies of of uh micronutrients as well as macronutrients. Of course, we could talk about that long into the night. Um so stunting, childhood malnutrition never reaching their full potential. 62 million children under five in subsahara and Africa are stunted as we've seen on this graph uh on on this graphic here.
Um, so we're not talking about a few thousand people dying of an appalling disease. Appalling as that is, we're talking about 62 million. Why don't we do something about that? Why don't we talk about that one heck of a lot more than than we are? Bit strange really.
Now the new bunny buggy um vaccines.
Um so Oxford so so um this is the this is the this is the Oxford style vaccine.
Uh so CH stands for chimpanzeee.
A dino virus Oxford uh Oxford platform. So this is a viral vector vaccine uh using genetically modified material in a virus that is then injected into the individual. Now the uh a lot of the co vaccines were mRNA vaccines of course the original Oxford vaccine and I think the Johnson and Johnson my memor is going for these things but I'm pretty sure that the uh the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was of this type of vaccine as well. Um but the Oxford vaccine, the Astroenica vaccine was this form of vaccine and we know that this caused quite a few side effects if you remember and we also know that it caused quite a few people to leave us permanently but this is what is being used at the moment. So the Bunyaboo Ebola virus vaccine is this Oxford chimpanzeee adino virus being de developed in combination with Oxford University I think in the serum institute of India similar to the uh the Astroenica vaccine this uses a chimpanzeee adino virus uh platform similar technology was used in the Oxford Astroenica vaccine which caused so many side effects severe adverse reactions many of whom we've interviewed on this and of course quite a few people to leave us. Now this uh Bunny Boogio Ebola virus vaccine potentially ready for efficacy assessment in the next 2 to 3 months. So this appears to be being actively developed at the moment and of course I'll put the references in the text how this vaccine works. So uh genes for the antigen are incented into the viral vector. So the viral vector. So the if you want to get the genetic material. So if you want a vaccine, you can either give the the antigen itself.
That's not the way they choose to do it.
They choose to genetically modify a virus, inject that virus with the material to make the antigen in your own cells. It's a bit like the RNA platform, but instead of using RNA lipid nanop particles, this uses a virus to do it.
Um so you you you genetically modify a virus in this case the adino virus the adino virus from a chimpanzeee. Um you then inject that into you genetically modify that virus and you inject that into into the people um via an injection. This is then biodistributed. Now we now know that viruses are very small and it gets into the blood and if it gets into the blood that means it goes all around the body what we call systemic distribution.
It enters the cells um the this delivers the DNA instructions into the cells. The DNA the DNA in the cell nucleus have gone the DNA in the cell nucleus then instructs that then makes RNA. The RNA goes out into the cytoplasm and the cytoplasm makes the antigen.
So it's hijacking or utilizing the cell's own genetic apparatus.
It's not a traditional vaccine.
The cell then produces its own antigen.
Cell manufactures the viral protein.
So this is very similar uh to the manufacturer of the COVID vaccine. As we've said, both cause human cells to manufacture a viral antigen by giving a genetically modified uh genetic modified genetic information inside a virus that carries it into the cell.
That's what's currently being worked on.
Um COVID vaccine produces spike protein.
Unfortunately, uh Ebola vaccine will produce an Ebola glyoprotein which is part of the uh part of the Ebola part of the Ebola virus that the immune system will recognize. And for the SARS Kovv2 spike protein, immunologically important antigen is believed to be associated with the cell surfaces rather than freely circulating. So if the cells are expressing this new viral antigen, those cells are open to being attacked by the body's own immune system, what we call autoimmunity.
So um of course we need to talk about risk benefit analysis. COVID was a very minimally serious disease in many ways, but the the bunio probably got a death rate of about 30%. So we have to balance the risks there. But um I would have preferred to see a traditional antigen vaccine being produced rather than carrying on with this um genetic modified uh viral vector vaccine that has gained a certain amount of uh questions uh during the covid pandemic. So that's where we are. Uh don't worry there's not going to be a pandemic of uh bunyio virus. Um, it will kill a lot of people locally in Africa, not minimizing it.
Potentially quite a few tens of thousands of people could have a horrible death in Africa. But it's not going to be a global pandemic because it's spread by close persontoerson contact virtually exclusively.
But the vaccine probably will be ready in a few months.
And that's the type of vaccine they've chosen to use. And uh, we'll leave it at that. You now have the information. I hope you're still as confused as we were at the beginning as to why conditions which are causing hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Malnutrition which is affecting tens of millions of children are basically being uh ignored by mainstream media. Thank you for watching.
