The Ebola virus's spread is completely unnatural (it jumps entire regions where there are no major travel patterns). And people are supposed to believe a disease spread that naturally impossible.

You would think there would be an investigation. The last case of a disease sprouting at random with no previous occurrence was Cholera in Haiti, a disease that was introduced by Nepalese UN Aid workers.

Are you a virologist? Can you take a minute and think about something you say before you jump into conspiracy theories? This is a tragedy, not an opportunity to spin your silly ideas.


On HN people will usually expect you to cite some sources when making claims like this.


Educated people question your unsourced and unfounded assertion: "The Ebola virus's spread is completely unnatural (it jumps entire regions where there are no major travel patterns)."

Perhaps your brand of "educated people" should stop begging questions to arrive at their points.


He does have a point. From Central Africa to the west end of West Africa is over a 1000 miles, yet Ebola did not show up in the area in between.

That supposes that a carrier from an infected area is able to travel for months or weeks, whether by road or through the jungle without passing on the virus along the way.

But do all carriers necessarily leave the place where they get infected, and do all the people or animals in infected areas develop an immunity that stops the disease from flaring up again in the same areas?

Conspiracy insinuations or not how the disease arose there is a very important issue which needs to be seriously addressed. It could just as easily have travelled to a major urban area.


Arriving via "Nepalese UN Aid workers" is not "sprouting at random" and completely natural, surely?
