"Denver Medical Team Receives Live Ebola Vaccines"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Is this a coincidence that medical health care employees are starting to get vaccinated for Ebola?  (With all the recent news coming out on Disease X? - as 'infectious as measles and as deadly as Ebola'.)
 
"Denver Health's High Risk Infection Team said that are some of the first to receive the live vaccine as a way to be prepared in the event of a future outbreak.  The team is part of the Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Center - one of 13 centers in the U.S. that can treat infectious diseases like Ebola."
 
"Even though there are NO CURRENT OUTBREAKS in the world, we want to make sure that people have the chance to be protected in case we need to take care of a patient that has a disease with a mortality potentially of 70%".
 
The vaccine they received is called Ervebo and it "is only available to frontline workers who may be at risk of being exposed to the virus."

So I looked up Ervebo (a Merck vaccine):  It is a "replication-competent (this virus can replicate), live attenuated recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vaccine manufactured by Merck.  It is not possible to become infected with EBOV (Ebola) from the vaccine because the vaccine only contains a gene from the Ebola virus, not the whole virus.  Specifically, it contains a gene for the EBOV glycoprotein that replaces the gene for the native VSV glycoprotein.  (SEE THE NOTE ON IMMUNOCOMPROMISED INDIVIDUALS IN THE MERCK REPORT BELOW)  ERVEBO does not provide protection against other species of Ebolavirus or Marburgvirus.
 
They took a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and substituted the VSV envelope glycoprotein for the Zaier ebolavirus' envelope glycoprotein.  ERVEBO "was initially engineered by scientists from the Public Health Agency of Canada's Microbiology Laboratory.   The technology was licensed to Lumos Pharma, Inc. and Merck licensed the vaccine in 2014.  The following clinical development program was sponsored by U.S. HHS, Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

A VSV was used to create a Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 vaccine where a small part of the spike protein was included with the virus. So this 'technique' to create a vaccine is not unusual.
 
 
 
And guess who helped evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of this vaccine?  NIAID - Fauci's group)
  
In December 2019, ERVEBO was approved by the FDA for individuals 18 years old and older.  In August, 2023, the FDA "has approved an expanded indication for ERVEBO, which is now indicated for the prevention of disease caused by Zaire ebolavirus in individuals 12 months of age and older."
 
In this notice, Merck reported that "the duration of protection conferred by ERVEBO is unknown."  Does it last three weeks or 6 months or 5 years?   This vaccine has been out since 2019 and there have been so few outbreaks of Zaire Ebola.  And no more info on this vaccine.
 
And "Vaccination with ERVEBO may not protect all individuals."  Do these health care workers know this??
 
 And it does not protect against other species of Ebolavirus or Marburgvirus (a cousin of Ebola)  
 
Also, "In January 2021, Merck confirmed an agreement with UNICEF to establish the world's first global Ebola vaccine stockpile with ERVEBO to support future Zaire ebolavirus outbreak, preparedness and response efforts.  As of March 2023, over 500,000 doses of the licensed vaccine have been delivered to the stockpile, which is administered by the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision.
 
As for IMMUNOCOMPROMISED INDIVIDUALS:  "The risk of vaccination with ERVEBO, a live virus vaccine, in immunocompromised individuals should be weighed against the risk of disease due to Zaire ebolavirus."  This sounds like an immunocompromised person could get Ebola from the live virus vaccine. ??
 
For just having ONE gene from the Ebola virus in the vaccine - there sure are a lot of BAD side effects:  
 
The clinical trials reported:  55% with headache, 39% with fever, 33% with muscle pain, 26% with fatigue, 19% with joint pain, 17% with chills, 15% with decreased appetite, 13% with abdominal pain, 10% with nausea, 4% with vomiting, 4% with rash, 3% with abnormal sweating and 2% with mouth ulceration.   In those 18 and older.
 
For babies - 12 months to 2 years:  83% with fever, 31% with crying, 27% with decreased appetite, 20% with fatigue, 19% with diarrhea, 17% with vomiting, 10% with screaming, 5% with chills, 2% with abnormal sweating.
 
After vaccination, individuals will test positive of Ebola antibody or antigens.
 
In the Limitations of Use - again we find, "The duration of protection conferred by ERVEBO is unknown."

With the associated risks inherent in vaccines is it really necessary for health care workers in the US to take this now with no world outbreaks - and it may not protect everyone vaccinated, and is specific to only one Ebola virus.
 
With so many health care workers vaccinated with Covid-19 'vaccine" that really wrecks havoc on the immune system - should these people be considered "immunocompromised"?
 
Interesting timing with the increase chatter on Disease X.  
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

This paper reported on research done on Marburg virus, Lassa virus and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus using the vesicular stomatitis virus to create vaccines.  It seems with success.
 
This could be how a vaccine could be hurriedly produced for other pathogens - like Disease X.  
 
And as I wrote above - if there is concern with immunocompromised individuals getting such vaccines - and then developing the disease....well, that's one way to spread it.
