Misinformation causing community tensions
15:02:28 - Ebola misinformation leads to community tensions in DRC. (ie.headtopics.com)
This one catches my eye. Sometimes, misinformation comes from outside sources. I want to investigate this. Here’s two articles:
https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/africa/dr-congo-ebola-hotspot-intl
https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/volunteers-go-door-to-door-congo-tackle-ebola-rumors-aid-network-says-2026-05-22/
CNN is calling it disinformation, not misinformation, which has a very specific meaning. Disinformation is an attack, misinformation is from ignorance.
I do not see any evidence of disinformation in CNN’s article.
Rumors are not disinformation. Rumors are rumors. CNN gave a sensationalist title about disinformation and then wrote about misinformation and rumors.
It’s on them. They can do better titles.
Reuters gives more information.
Ok. So, we followed the lead that misinformation is causing problems, and it turns out that is true. CNN stated that disinformation is making the CRC an Ebola hotspot but gave no evidence of disinformation, only rumors and misinformation. Disinformation and misinformation are not the same thing.
Western aid cuts are impacting efforts and causing concern
04:48:08 - Ebola responders claim that aid cuts from Western nations have impacted their efforts. (us.headtopics.com)
06:14:57 - Ebola outbreak raises concerns due to aid cuts and health risks. (news.ssbcrack.com)
Deaths and Cases
09:36:02 - There is an Ebola outbreak in Congo with 160 suspected deaths and over 670 cases under investigation. (elpais.com)
15:12:40 - 177 Ebola deaths reported in Congo by WHO (cnnespanol.cnn.com)
19:41:14 - Ebola outbreak in DRC is spreading rapidly with 750 suspected cases. (abcnews.com)
New Vaccine in Development
15:13:25 - New strain of Ebola vaccine are being developed by Oxford for DRC Congo. (independent.co.uk)
17:32:45 - New Ebola vaccine, library updates, and traffic accidents (se.headtopics.com)

That’s all for today! Thank you for reading!
Want Datasets?
Datasets will be made available to paying subscribers. If you are a data person (scientist, Data Scientist, etc.) or internet sleuth (OSINT, cybersecurity, etc.), this is useful data. If you would like to get access to the data and any future infrastructure that I create for this, please upgrade your subscription.
Please Support this Work!
I am a human being doing this work. I am doing by myself, using my time, infrastructure, data, and money. I am doing this because I think it is important to do and because I think it is better for people to be proactive than reactive. If you have information, you can get ahead of problems. I think that people should try to get ahead of problems.
I have set this blog up to accept payments as community support. Technologies cost money to run, and community support will help keep this going. Based on the level of community support, I will be providing more value to paying readers. Every milestone unlocks more things. Every milestone contains what was previously unlocked and the new unlock. Here is what I currently have in mind:
0: Daily OSINT Briefs ← We are here
1-5: Daily OSINT Files ← We could get here today
6-10: Dedicated Hantavirus Knowledge Graph
11+: GraphRAG AI Interface and API
You could be the one to push us to our first milestone! It does not take many people for this blog to get advanced capabilities. The subscriptions could realistically be achieved today, but I doubt they will.
0 Paid Readers = Daily OSINT Briefs
At zero paying readers, I will still do daily OSINT briefs, because this is important information and I do not want to put it behind a paywall. I do not want to support only those who have money. I want everyone to be able to live safe and happy lives. I will not put this blog behind a paywall. Everyone deserves access to health information. Please share this series and help it grow.
1 - 5 Paying Readers = Daily Files
Once I get a paying reader, I will start posting daily files somewhere that paying readers can access and grant them access. These files are useful for Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence work. These files are worth much more than the monthly subscription fee.
I already have the files, so feel free to upgrade if interested in getting access to them. You can see that they are growing if you look at the file sizes. I can make these in JSON instead if that is preferred.
Please upgrade to a paying subscription to unlock this.
6-10 Paying Readers = Knowledge Graph
Six paying readers show me that there is enough demand for me to do more and create a Knowledge Graph of Ebola information. These subscribers will not get access to it, yet. I will start creating it and using it for insights in these articles.
I will also make the files that are produced from the KG work available to paying readers, so there will be new kinds of files. It will be much richer data than what I currently have.
11+ Paying Readers = GraphRAG AI Interface
Once there are eleven paying readers, I will create a GraphRAG AI interface for the Knowledge Graph. Once it is stable, I will give all of my paying readers access. They will be able to chat with actually reliable AI and learn about what is happening. GraphRAG and my approaches lead to reliable AI.
This is an optional step. If no one wants this, a Knowledge Graph is useful enough, and I can find ways to open that up instead.
But if people want to have a dedicated Ebola-aware AI to ask questions, I’ll build one if there is enough support.
Please Help Us Grow!
Monetization is not my top priority. I want to get the information out, and I want people to be informed of what is happening. But I am an information guy, and I create intelligences. We can do a lot more than daily text outputs and files. If there is demand for it, I’m happy to create it.
Technology and data isn’t free. Reader support helps pay the bills and keep this going! Feel free to upgrade to a paid subscription if you like where this is going. Please also share this blog with your friends, family, and colleagues who may be interested.
I can do this for any topic. If there is something happening in the world that you want to have better awareness of, please leave a comment!
That’s all for today! Thanks again to all of the subscribers! I appreciate the support! To everyone else, please subscribe, and please consider being a paid subscriber, as it helps the most.
