Something with that high a mortality rate is a major red flag.
Evolution favors that which is an optimal survival strategy. For parasites, having a very high mortality rate, especially with such a fast progression from infection to death is a very poor survival strategy given the context of a parasite.
Indicative of something that was made in a lab....purely to kill. HIV is suspected to be a bioweapon too, for slightly different reasons.
Note that outbreaks of ebola tend to happen near known bio weapon labs.

What????
What's the reason you believe that?
This is incorrect. The Sanger Institute is named for a British biochemist, Frederick Sanger, not the American Margaret Sanger.

What bioweapon labs are you talking about?

Ebola is not a parasite. It's a virus.
But that is over time it doesn't preclude a mutation that creates a highly deadly virus that might not be here in a thousand years.
