CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.62
The DRC outbreak is driven by the rare Bundibugyo Ebola species, which has no approved vaccines or treatments.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because an Ebola flare-up that jumps a porous DRC border into a city or refugee corridor can overwhelm fragile health systems fast, and the only real brakes are limited vaccine stockpiles and rapid-response teams that take days to deploy.
