Researchers discover Ebola vaccine

Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston have discovered an inhalable vaccine that can protect rhesus macaque monkeys against severe illness and death when they were exposed to the Ebola virus.

Rhesus Macaques are among the most widespread primates after humans and are the monkeys most widely used in biomedical research.

Findings published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that the linings of the airways may be an important point of entry for the Ebola virus into the body.

Alexander Bukreyev, a professor of virology at the University said the study demonstrates successful aerosol vaccination against a viral hemorrhagic fever for the first time.

“A single-dose aerosol vaccine would enable both prevention and containment of Ebola infections, in a natural outbreak setting where health care infrastructure is lacking or during bioterrorism and biological warfare scenarios,” he added.

“A needle-free, inhalable vaccine against Ebola presents certain advantages. Immunization will not require trained medical personnel,” Michelle Meyer, a postdoctoral fellow in the pathology department at the UTMB further stated.

In the new study, Bukreyev and colleagues administered the inhaled vaccine to six rhesus macaque monkeys.

A month later, the team injected the monkeys with a dose of Ebola virus that was 1,000 times the level that would normally be deadly.

None of the monkeys died or developed severe cases Ebola, although a few developed mild depression.

The new vaccine would be an improvement over other vaccines not only because it could be delivered by people other than medical professionals.

Researchers said the vaccine triggered two different forms of immunity — a “local” immune response, in the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, as well as a body-wide immune system response, in form of immune cells circulating throughout the body.

Most other Ebola vaccines only stimulate systemic immunity, so the new vaccine could add another layer of protection.

The National Institutes of Health is currently starting a Phase I trial of the vaccine, in a small number of people, to see if the drug is safe.

Further studies are needed to confirm that the vaccine is both safe and effective, and may likely take at least three years before the vaccine be used in the field.

Vaccines and treatments have been used in the field, either in organised clinical trials or in certain special situations.

But many of the vaccines are shots that must be administered by people with at least some medical training.

– 2025 Prophecies Manifest: Fire, Floods, Disease, and Global Unrest

 

– Prophecies Fulfilled: Firestorms, Floods, and Deadly Viruses Rock 2025

 

By Miracle Oyewale

 

The Setman, Lead Pastor, and Founder of the Oneness in Christ Ministry, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, has again seen some of his prophecies for 2025 come to pass. As the Shepherd of CCC Living Grace Tabernacle, his words of divine insight continue to prepare believers for what lies ahead.

 

2025 Prophecies Manifest: Fire, Floods, Disease, and Global Unrest

 

In 2024, Prophet Kingsley released a series of prophetic warnings for 2025, urging individuals, nations, and institutions to prepare for the events to come. Remarkably, over five of his prophecies have already been fulfilled within the first month of this new year.

 

Weather Disasters

The prophet warned of severe weather disasters, and this prediction has already manifested across multiple regions:

Southeast Asia Floods: In late 2024, Typhoon Yagi caused devastating flooding and landslides in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Millions were affected, and access to essential services was disrupted.

Malaysia Floods: December 2024 brought the worst flooding in Malaysia in a decade, triggered by unprecedented monsoon rains. Over 90,000 individuals were displaced, and lives were lost.

Saudi Arabia Floods: In early January 2025, heavy flooding wreaked havoc in Saudi Arabia, resulting in property damage and displacing countless residents.

Fire Disasters

Prophet Kingsley also foretold an increase in fire outbreaks, a prophecy tragically realized in:

 

Los Angeles Wildfires: In January 2025, historic wildfires ravaged Los Angeles, California, devastating neighborhoods like Pacific Palisades and Hollywood Hills, claiming lives, and displacing thousands.

 

Fire in Asaba, Nigeria: A major fire outbreak occurred in Asaba, aligning with the prophecy of global fire disasters threatening lives and properties.

 

Scandals in the Church

Another warning issued by the prophet concerned scandals in churches. This prophecy unfolded when a former pastor at Dunamis Church made shocking claims, alleging that healing miracles were staged. The revelation has caused widespread frustration and confusion, echoing the prophet’s caution to churches worldwide.

Deadly Diseases and Global Conflict

 

Prophet Kingsley’s vision of a deadly disease and rising global conflict has also come to pass:

Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Surge: A surge in HMPV cases has emerged, particularly affecting children under 14 in China. The virus has spread to several countries, including Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and Italy, sparking global health concerns.

Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Germany: Germany reported its first case of foot-and-mouth disease in nearly 40 years, raising fears of broader outbreaks despite its non-threatening nature to humans.

On the global conflict front:

Terrorism Alerts: Security agencies have heightened alerts in Europe, the U.S., and parts of Asia as terrorism threats escalate in 2025.

Taiwan Strait Tensions: Diplomatic and military tensions between China, Taiwan, and the U.S. have intensified, raising fears of a potential blockade.

War in Ukraine: The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to destabilize the region and influence global security.

Aviation Disasters

The prophecy of aviation tragedies has also taken shape:
Indonesian Plane Crash: In early January 2025, a domestic flight in Indonesia crashed shortly after takeoff, leading to significant casualties. Investigations are ongoing, but the incident has left many grieving.

Rising Aviation Risks: Experts warn of increased aviation risks in 2025, citing aging aircraft, weather disruptions, and higher air traffic as contributing factors.

 

Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s prophecies serve as a call to action and a reminder of the need for faith, preparation, and divine guidance. These events are a testament to his divine gift and a call for individuals and nations to remain vigilant and prayerful.

As we navigate 2025, let us embrace faith, prayer, and readiness for the challenges ahead. Truly, God still speaks, and His warnings remain a beacon for those who choose to listen.
