Firestone Did What Governments Have Not: Stopped Ebola In Its Tracks

The Ebola virus outbreak started nearly simultaneously in three places in Africa in 2014 and killed more people that all other Ebola virus outbreaks in history put together. It was on every continent except Antarctica. In September of 2014 the W.H.O. made it clear if a cure was not found by October, Africa would fall by Xmas with the rest of the world following one year later. On October 27 2014 the virus peaked, and then died out.


"On March 23, 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) was notified of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Guinea. On August 8, the WHO declared the epidemic to be a “public health emergency of international concern.”

"These data indicate that without drastic improvements in control measures, the numbers of cases of and deaths from EVD are expected to continue increasing from hundreds to thousands per week in the coming months."

Ebola broke out in march, outbreaks are not uncommon but generally short lived. You hear 7 people died or twelve or maybe 50 or 70. But that's generally it. What was different about this outbreak is the number of infected people very clearly ws twice was it was the previous week with unerring accuracy. You don't have to be a math genius to figure out that's an extinction path if not stopped. When something doubles it will hit 100% if not limited by something.

Any number under 1000 is no cause for alarm, the number will increase then stop abruptly but this did not seem to be happening in this case and it was spreading to other continents.

The W.H.O would release new body counts on Saturday mornings and thy went like this:

  • 2nd Wk Sep: 250
  • 3rd Wk Sep: 500
  • 4th Wk Sep: 1000
  • 1st Wk Oct: 2000
  • 2nd Wk Oct: 4000
  • 3rd Wk Oct: 9000


October 27th was a Thursday that year

"We've now seen several cases that don't have any symptoms at all, asymptomatic cases," said Anavaj Sakuntabhai who suggested the virus might be mutating.

British nurse cured of Ebola credits new drug - and strawberries
"Back in Britain, the decision to try MIL 77 was not difficult. “I said ‘I have Ebola, so, yes, I’d rather have that than high-dose vitamin C,’” she said"
“I reckon I’ve had 10 punnets,” joked Corporal Anna Cross, who smiled nervously as she talked for the first time after her treatment at the Royal Free Hospital in north London." (10 punnets would be about equal to two 1000mg injections a day)
