Nearly Half of Africans Believe Ebola is a Hoax

You go to Africa and tell the natives that there is an invisible force that causes sickness and they say “yeah mon, evil spirits.”

Then you try to help them stop it, and they accuse you of being in league with evil spirits.

Pretty standard and to be expected by everyone except the hardcore dupes who actually believed “all races are the human race.”

One out of four people interviewed in eastern Congo last year believed Ebola wasn’t real, according to a new study, underscoring the enormous challenges health care workers are facing in what has become the second-deadliest outbreak in history.

The survey released late Wednesday found that a deep mistrust of the Ebola response resulted in those people being 15 times less likely to seek medical treatment at an Ebola health center, according to the study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal.

The study was based on interviews conducted last September, about a month after the outbreak began. It comes as the number of probable and confirmed cases has exceeded 1,000. At least 639 people have died from Ebola since August, according to the World Health Organization.

This is the first time the region has experienced an Ebola outbreak.

The outbreak’s response has been hampered by a series of deadly attacks on Ebola health centers since the study was completed. As a result, Doctors Without Borders has stopped staffing two health centers at the outbreak’s epicenter.

Researchers said their study showed more precisely how individuals’ misinformed views about Ebola were undermining the response and helping to spread the deadly virus.

“It really helps us understand how central and fundamental community trust should be as part of the response,” said Patrick Vinck of Harvard University, who led the research.

Eva Erlach, the community engagement and accountability delegate for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, called the findings “absolutely interesting” and said they show how the level of trust correlates with preventative behaviors.

The organization has had more than 800 trained volunteers working to get out prevention messages amid the region’s security challenges.

“There is still a part of the community who do not believe that Ebola is real and we definitely still need to continue focusing on community engagement,” said Erlach, who was not part of the study. “And this is why this report is so helpful even if it’s from September.”

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said earlier this month he was encouraged “to see the communities accepting the response more and more.”

The new study highlights just how pervasive misinformation has been in places in eastern Congo like Beni and Butembo, where in-person interviews were conducted with 961 people.

Some 25.5 percent of those interviewed did not believe Ebola was real. In addition, nearly 45.9 percent of people thought the Ebola outbreak was being fabricated to destabilize the region or for financial gain. Additionally 18.2 percent believed all three of those statements, the study found.

45.9% is a whole lot of percent.

It’s almost like black people are stupid, no?

But that can’t be right.

Because what about… Obama?

I still hold that the 90s Batman the Animated Series was the best iteration of Batman.

It’s a 1950s style Gotham, and none of the criminals believe that “The Batman” actually exists. They all think he’s an urban myth. Until he swoops in on them.

Ebola is that kind of hero.

And she’s actually good for Africa too, if anyone cares. They are overpopulating to the point where they’re all just going to die. So these diseases showing up to vastly reduce their population are nature’s way of saving them from themselves.

White people trying to fix nature is a sin against God.
