Eric R. Pianka (born 23 January 1939) is an American biologist, best known for his contributions to herpetology and evolutionary ecology. He is nicknamed "The Lizard Man".

Saving the Earth with Ebola

Professor Pianka said the Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. Then, and without presenting any data to justify this number, he asserted that the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number.

He then showed solutions for reducing the world's population in the form of a slide depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War and famine would not do, he explained. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved.

Pianka then displayed a slide showing rows of human skulls, one of which had red lights flashing from its eye sockets.

AIDS is not an efficient killer, he explained, because it is too slow. His favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population is airborne Ebola ( Ebola Reston ), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. However, Professor Pianka did not mention that Ebola victims die a slow and torturous death as the virus initiates a cascade of biological calamities inside the victim that eventually liquefy the internal organs.

After praising the Ebola virus for its efficiency at killing, Pianka paused, leaned over the lectern, looked at us and carefully said, “We've got airborne 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that.”

With his slide of human skulls towering on the screen behind him, Professor Pianka was deadly serious. The audience that had been applauding some of his statements now sat silent.

After a dramatic pause, Pianka returned to politics and environmentalism. But he revisited his call for mass death when he reflected on the oil situation.

“And the fossil fuels are running out,” he said, “so I think we may have to cut back to two billion, which would be about one-third as many people.” So the oil crisis alone may require eliminating two-third's of the world's population.

How soon must the mass dying begin if Earth is to be saved? Apparently fairly soon, for Pianka suggested he might be around when the killer disease goes to work. He was born in 1939, and his lengthy obituary appears on his web site.

When Pianka finished his remarks, the audience applauded. It wasn't merely a smattering of polite clapping that audiences diplomatically reserve for poor or boring speakers. It was a loud, vigorous and enthusiastic applause.

This resulted in the Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewing Pianka in Austin.

Pianka has stated that Mims took his statements out of context and that Pianka was stating what would happen from biological principles alone if present human population trends continue, and that he was not in any way advocating for it to happen. The host of the speech, the Texas Academy of Sciences, has released a statement stating that:

"Many of Dr. Pianka's statements have been severely misconstrued and sensationalized."

'1 in 5 chance' Ebola will spread to the US by the end of September

Writing in the journal PLOS Currents: Outbreaks, a team of experts claim it is likely that Ebola will make its way to the US, estimating there is a 20% chance this could occur by the end of this month. However, US health care is expected to halt transmission, limiting outbreaks to isolated cases.

The researchers suggest Ebola could spread beyond Africa via the international travel hubs in Nigeria.
The World Health Organization (WHO) report that 1,841 people in West African nations have died from Ebola during the current outbreak, with a total of 3,685 confirmed or suspected cases. A recent report in the journal Science (not connected to the PLOS report) estimated that the epidemic will reach 10,000 cases by the end of September.

The virus is transmitted via contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, and it can take up to 21 days after infection for symptoms to appear. These symptoms include fever, muscle weakness and sore throat, and later vomiting, rash and bleeding.

There is no clinically available vaccine for Ebola. However, earlier this week, Medical News Today reported on the development of a vaccine capable of generating long-term immunity against Ebola in monkeys, which is now entering phase 1 clinical trials in humans.

So, 20%. So, an 80% chance it wont.

"this could occur by the end of this month", so how are the chances on the long run, say 1-5 years? $:-\$

Loving the miraculous 'vaccine' that just happened to appear in time...

Pretty sure this has been several movie and book plotlines, theyll use the outbreak to rush the vaccije through trials and skip safety protocol, and then itll turn out that its some eco-nazi scientists will use the vaccinne to murder half the world.

So it seems that virologists *are* talking about an airborne mutation. Scary shit indeed. Build a wall around Africa and burn it down.

ive been saying that shit for weeks. These dumbasses are too fucking stupid to follow quarantine or understand how lethal it is, fuck them, theyve forfeited their right to life.

Hope some of you bought back then and took profits the last couple of days - they got FDA approval yesterday. I originally bought below $14 and have sold most of it at ~ $21, $24, and over $25. Made nearly 70% ROI on this over a few weeks.

The Ebola virus has been found in fossils - it's old as dirt.
What may be closer to the "tin foil" truth is that an airborne mutation has been discovered or is assumed to exist.

I'm also excited about all the Africans coming to Europe - good times to be had.

Tkmr still climbing - closed near $30 yesterday. I've read and heard rumblings of them possibly being bought out by a bigger biotech or pharma. My guess is that it's quite likely.
