Isn't there a vaccine for ebola now though, so really just gotta inoculate people and it will be A-ok?

Funny part is I find is that ebola is *actually* deadly, unlike covid19 was.

Think without treatment it has like a 60+% chance of fatality.

There are ebola outbreaks in countries in Africa every other year.
