“The U.S. government joined forces with a tiny Dutch biotechnology company on Thursday to develop a vaccine against Ebola, the virus that bleeds people to death and which could be a powerful weapon in bioterrorism. Crucell NV said on Thursday it would develop the vaccine together with the U.S. government's major medical research body, National Institutes of Health (NIH), and could test it on humans within two years and sell it by 2008. The Ebola virus causes Ebola fever, one of the deadliest diseases known to man and for which there is no cure. Victims' internal organs literally disintegrate and they die rapidly,
bleeding from every orifice. Ebola spreads like wildfire. Recent outbreaks of the jungle fever have occurred in Africa, resulting in hundreds of deaths. A major outbreak in a heavily populated area has so far not occurred. But the September 11 attacks in the United States last year and the anthrax attacks in October have raised the specter of deadly viruses like Ebola and smallpox being unleashed purposefully in vast quantities as weapons of terror.”
