James Corbett on Hyping Ebola For Fear and Profit

just a thought.
Could pharmaceutical companies put this bug/virus out in the world, already knowing that they have a cure, then wait.
and a few months/years later we have a cure but it will cost you millions.
could they be trialing viruses?

This is exactly what they do by the sounds of it. They withhold cures because it is all profit based. Why would they not want to make money? They are only interested in profit and if you believe they actually want to heal the sick then you are misguided unfortunately. They slowly drip feed treatments to give the illusion that we are getting better imo. I could go on but to answer your question, it's a big yes. Sad really but if you think they wouldn't just Youtube Rick simspon and that should guide your way.

I was fortunate to attend a talk by an author who is an expert on Infectious Diseases, David Quammen.
This man spends his time following scientists into caves dripping with bat excrement with the aim of tracing the origins of the likes of SARS, MERS and Ebola. Bats, you see, are a perfect vessel for many diseases as they carry them while remaining immune.
What I took from his talk on Ebola:
1) It's origins are unknown.
With the likes of SARS, the origins can be traced to an unlikely meeting of a bat species with farmland on which pigs graze.
A Respiratory Disease outbreak incident in Malaysia started when deforestation pushed a bat species to farmland in which pigs were raised amongst fruit trees. The fruit trees kept the pigs sheltered from the Sun, provided an additional crop/income from the land, plus fallen fruit fed the pigs.
The bats moved to the farmland for the fruit, ate it, dropped excrement on the ground which the pigs then consumed via the fallen fruit. The pigs became infected, it spread from farm to farm and via the slaughter house encountered humans.
A slaughter house boss then made a trip to Hong Kong and stayed in a hotel on which each floor had a ventilation system which connected each room. Other guests became infected, left the hotel and travelled back home to their country of origin.
Scientists have not been able to tie together the path of origin for Ebola and so finding a cure is all the more difficult. Ebola outbreaks occur in remote parts of Africa, so tracing the path of infection has proved impossible to date.
2) Ebola has only once made it across borders on a commercial plane (fact, excluding the current outbreak)
Ebola strikes so quickly that it's biggest weakness is the fact that you will feel ill very swiftly and so won't be fit to make the plane journey you had planned for 12 or 24 hours from the point of infection.
While Ebola is deadly, it's also not considered a viable suspect for the inevitable pandemic that is coming at some point in this century. Despite this, media outlets need a story to sell and so will hype the dangers out of proportion, while our politicians are never without a need to induce fear and/or divert attention from something far more important.
