It completely fails all logical tests, and is the worst sort of CT nonsense.

If there is a way to contain this disease and find effective treatments for it, it will come from our research. We didn't create Ebola. There's no logical reason for doing such a thing.

All sorts of nonsense finds publishers. It's too bad this nonsense is further promulgated on websites like DU.
