More from the cited article ...
... The phrase "unknown disease" primarily means that the disease has not yet been identified. In previous cases, the cases are linked to a known disease, but a lack of available testing leads to lack of certainty. For example, there was a separate report of an "unknown disease" in December of last year in Congo that was later attributed to illnesses from malaria and respiratory illnesses. The latest numbers from the WHO's Africa Region show that there are 431 cases linked to the outbreak and 53 deaths since January. ...

@#7 ... FDA cancels meeting to select flu strains for next season's shots ...
Yeah, that's been one of my main concerns regarding Sec Kennedy leading the health of the Country.
Does he have any education in that in that medical area.
Or is he just parroting conspiracy theories because they have been profitable for him?
One reason for my concern, my health insurance provider says that they cover vaccines recommended by the CDC.
So, will the CDC now stop recommending vaccines because of Sec Kennedy's belief in conspiracy theories?
