Health Canada has authorized pharmaceutical company Moderna to move forward with a clinical trial for an mRNA vaccine targeting the Ebola virus strain currently fuelling an explosive outbreak abroad.
Canada is now the second country to authorize a Phase I clinical trial for a Bundibugyo virus vaccine candidate after the U.K., according to federal officials in a news release.
There is currently no licensed vaccine or treatment for Bundibugyo virus disease, the strain of Ebola disease that is responsible for the current outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There have been no cases of Ebola disease in Canada.
Participants in the authorized Phase I clinical trial will “be given a dose of the candidate vaccine and researchers will assess whether the participants’ immune system starts making antibodies to the Bundibugyo virus.”
They will not be injected with the virus itself, Health Canada says.
Following the completion of the trial, Moderna is required to “conduct additional clinical trial phases before it could seek approval from Health Canada for the vaccine.”
Eastern Congo’s remote Ituri province has experienced the fastest-growing outbreak of the disease, with 3,802 cases and 1,707 deaths being recorded as of Tuesday, according to the latest government update.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern on May 17.
On May 28, the Canadian federal government announced it would provide $8 million in international assistance funding to support the outbreak.
As of May 27, the Canadian government requires travellers from Ebola-affected regions to self-isolate for 21 days, with immigration authorities temporarily suspending applications from the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Uganda, effective until Aug. 29.
All travellers are required to be assessed by border officials. Those who have symptoms will be transferred to hospital for further medical assessment.
Government officials stated on May 26 that on average, 350 people from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan come to Canada each week.
The majority of passengers arrive in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver airports, with about 60 per cent of flights comprised of Canadians or permanent residents and 40 per cent foreign nationals.
Sleeves and elbows up clowns ….we know who will take this !
Who would be dumb enough to sign up for an mrna trial?
And, dare I ask, why test it here and not, say, Congo, or another country with Ebola outbreaks?
mRNA? No, thanks.
First off, it is not a vaccine but a genetic modification to your own cells. If you want to take it, go ahead but for me it’s a hard pass.
My friends adopted cousin by my stepfathers fifty first marriage knew an acquaintance who overheard someone say they heard about a person who talked to a dog whose owner had the covid vaccine. They turned orange and grew a third eye. That there is expert medical evidence. /s
What I learned from the Covid vaccine taught me to never take another one of these rushed products. My cousin ended up paralyzed on one side of his face after taking the mRNA and the condition never returned to normal. My mother rapidly developed tinnitus.
mRNA is not a vaccine. It is dangerous. That is why it was abandoned before Covid.
Health Canada is letting Canadians down by pushing this poison again.
DO NOT TAKE IT, RUN AWAY!
BTW: is this the result of Trudeau’s gift to Moderna of a plant in Montreal?
my imune system is fine never took the juice and wont test all you want. canadians are fools who will line up
Health Canada did help and hide the Pfizer lie. Trudeau money laundered with his buddy CEO of lying Pfizer. Sold as vaccine, then told it would stop the spread. The toxic shot did not stop spread or a vaccine.
Only those without a minimal amount of education or an IQ below room temperature would disagree with this vaccine trial IMHO
And Trudeau and most of the LPC gets even richer… phuzck off.
Baaa hahahaha!
Why is Canada being used for the trial? Wouldn’t The Congo be a better place to conduct it?
If covid wasn’t a big enough example, this pretty much proves that these outbreaks are just scams to justify funding for “vaccine” research and development.
No thank you !!!
