A quick reminder that every time Bhattacharya's NIH asks you to remove words like "gender," "diverse," or "social determinants of health," they are undermining the institution's foundational statue. Gender: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/... SDOH/diverse: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Jay Bhattacharya is locking people down.

The Ebola outbreak in the DRC has now been confirmed as the Bundibugyo strain. This is not good news, there are no licensed or candidate vaccines for this strain. No monoclonal antibodies. I am sure experimental antivirals will be tried. www.afro.who.int/countries/de...

The outbreak has a large number of suspected deaths already indicating it may have been going on a while. Additionally it's it a hard to read part of the DRC where there's conflict and densely populated borders with other countries.

The DRC knows Ebola and how to contain it but access and security are key for contact tracing, delivery of ppe, testing, and experimental treatments or vaccines.
