5/ The core challenge remains no approved vaccine and no approved therapeutics.
Every high-profile Ebola response since 2014 had Ervebo (for Zaire ebolavirus). Bundibugyo is a different species. Ervebo shows minimal cross-protection. We are near zero on licensed countermeasures.

Here is an update on #Ebola in DR #Congo. The WHO has decided to trial an Ebola vaccine used in previous outbreaks. The decision comes following new evidence showing it might provide some protection despite being engineered to target a different virus strain.

Very feasible. In fact, we already have an Ebola vaccine Ervebo, which protects against Zaire ebolavirus. The issue is that “Ebola” is not one virus. Zaire, Sudan and Bundibugyo ebolaviruses are different enough that one vaccine may not protect well against all of them.

Given debate about vaccines, this matters 👇
🦠 #Ebola has a 25–90% fatality rate. I’ve personally seen hundreds die from this disease. Supportive care & vaccination are critical.
Vaccines:
- Ervebo: 1 dose, proven in outbreaks
- Zabdeno/Mvabea: 2 doses, broader protection
✅ Vaccines save lives.
