Aids epidemic or Ebola Hemorrhagic fever, a scientist’s confusion

Was scientist Johan van Dongen chasing the origin of Aids or was it Ebola? Because when Tony Barnett and Piers Blaikie in 1992, studied AIDS in Uganda, they came to a conclusion with the publication of their report “AIDS in Africa: Its Present and Future Impact.”

During their investigation, several small outbreaks of Ebola appeared and they could not have imagined that their predictions over a period of ten years would also be dramatically be investigated by Johan van Dongen, because the literature about both diseases reveals so much that in Johan’s brain connection was made to reveal the truth of both horrible infections.

Tony and Piers argued then that within ten years the number of AIDS-related deaths,  the best and worst-case scenarios in the age group from15 to 50 years will be somewhere between 7.2% and 28.8%. Now demographic models have a tendency to be politically colored, so it is wise to approach people in the area they have been, or competencies are in no way connected to an existing order.

If you appeal to these people, it appears that the prognosis was said to be adjusted upwards to be forty to forty- five percent of the Ugandan population within ten years from the beginning of the third millennium. According To Western scientists, the worst-case scenario has become reality, but do ordinary people aware of all those facts?

Normally, from out of the blue a young infant of two, or others in the so-called remote areas contract Ebola. After the epidemic, a contaminated African from Western Africa travels to Mali in 2014 and died there, because she contracted the Ebola in Liberia. So, at the moment this autobiography is being written, we don’t know what is going to happen in Mali, after the child’s death.

But about twenty years before these horror events Eva Birungi and Pross Musagara in the mid-nineties, weren’t aware of Ebola because they have to deal with the devastation that aids which have ruined their communities and the African continent.

An ordinary day in Kampala Uganda

In the Mid-nineties, somewhere in a school in Kampala, let’s say May 11, 1995, three years after the statements of Tony Barnett and Piers Blaikie, at school, Eva Birungi carried a bench with her friend Pross Musagara and placed it under a shady tree for about an hour studying the disease AIDS.

They had talked about their famous compatriot singer and ‘songwriter’ Philly Lutaaya, and both are unanimous that their idol is just as good as Bruce Springsteen.

They also know that this AIDS-deceased singer has had the guts to be the first celebrity in Uganda to admit that he has become infected with the AIDS virus and therefore considered doomed and outcast.

In the early nineties, it wasn’t easy for many to announce publicly that they have contracted Aids, because of the stigma that follows. They are completely ignored or even put on the street and abandoned. Eva and Pross had no idea what was going on at that time in the city of Kikwit in neighboring Zaire.

The students studying Aids looked intently at their instructor Dr. David Serwadda, of the Public Health Institute in Kampala and supervisor of the population in Rakai, a town in the Rakai district of Lake Victoria. The senior Serwadda knows of the worse scenario figures President Yoweri Museveni had received in 1991, from Western scientists.

So he may, as a seasoned skeptic and supporter of the ‘worse scenario’ these students now stumped up that new figure hoping for a better future. The negative spiral of AIDS, he said, slowly bend, because the number of HIV-positive in the sexually active population of Rakai in 1988, 12 percent in May 1996, according to him at that day was only 10%. Serwadda: “However, we have no overview of what is happening in small towns”, he said.

Although the incidence of HIV infection has decreased in urban areas by far, currently more people die of AIDS than people with AIDS walking around with it. What he wasn’t told by the Belgian scientist Bogaards, is that his country has the dubious honor of being the first country in the world to be confronted to the full extent of the AIDS problem.

Slim disease or poor disease, as the condition is called by the missionaries in 1982, and in the same year there was the first demonstration in the Rakai district. He even recalls the fact that over forty million people in the countries surrounding Lake Victoria have been vaccinated with vaccines containing the deadly virus SV40.

Bogaards never mentioned the resistance-lowering spread of fungi mycotoxins, which effect is comparable to the radioactive fallout in the Sub-Saharan Countries. Mycotoxins have been scattered to make people aggressive and the Hutus, Tutsis, and Belgian commandos became victims of these criminal actions.

Especially the Belgians became like wild beasts, as one of the Belgian commandos urinates onto a dead Hutu, which allows me to write the retina. Serwadda also didn’t explain why the shoal of fish in Lake Victoria has lumpy cancers because they swam through biological warfare products with rainwater in the same pond they have ended.

Marburg or Ebola Virus in Zaire and Uganda

Since no one is looking up for frequent disease outbreaks in Africa, Eva and Pross acted like everybody else because they are used to it. Nevertheless, Thursday on May 11, 1995, to be exact, a shock wave went through the world when the Zairian authorities announced that the border between the capital Kinshasa and the Bandundu region is hermetically sealed. The world’s largest quarantine area was declared.

The mysterious Ebola virus after years had struck again, this time in the city of Kikwit. About 600,000 inhabitants were at that moment in a gruesome situation because out of the blue 170 persons succumbed to the infection of the Ebola virus, including Masengo, a town 120 km west of Kikwit, affected at the same time. There were deaths to mourn.

The governor of Kinshasa, Bernadin Mungul Diaka, apparently feared that the epidemic could spread. He expelled six million inhabitants to leave the area, making history repeat itself. The virus was completely identical to the Marburg virus; however, since the epidemic broke out near the river, scientists gave the virus the name of that stream as the Ebola River.

To this very day scientists still talk about it, the fact that there were two different viruses, but the only difference in the virus produced in Germany is the location, Marburg or Ebola River.

Just before the outbreak of the Ebola epidemic in Kikwit, major changes in the mosquito population around Lake Victoria were identified and there was a strong suspicion that deliberately infected yellow fever mosquitoes from Kenya were flown into Uganda.
