[GLOBAL VIRAL] Investigation into METABIOTA [Nathaniel Wolfe]

A CBS News article details an Associated Press investigation into Metabiota's response to the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak. The investigation alleges that Metabiota, a U.S. company specializing in epidemic tracking, made significant errors in its work in Sierra Leone, including misdiagnoses and inaccurate predictions of the outbreak's trajectory. These errors, stemming from internal conflicts and safety violations within Metabiota's lab shared with Tulane University, exacerbated an already chaotic situation and were criticized by numerous international health organizations. Despite these criticisms, Metabiota has received significant funding and public praise for its efforts. The article highlights conflicting accounts of Metabiota's role and the lasting consequences of its actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UgtUtDDp8
