Africa CDC Makes Bundibugyo Vaccine Equity Story

Africa CDC's travel-restriction statement turns Bundibugyo into a vaccine-equity story. The agency objected to U.S. restrictions and pointed toward the absence of strain-specific vaccines and therapeutics for all Ebola strains. [1]\n\nThat does not erase outbreak risk. It changes the moral question: wealthy countries can move quickly to restrict mobility, while countermeasure investment for African outbreaks remains slower and narrower. [1] [2]
