In the shadow of an active Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak, the World Health Organization has gathered a council of specialists to determine which experimental treatments and vaccines are ready to meet the moment. Bundibugyo is a distinct strain, one that cannot be answered by the tools built for its predecessors, and so the work of evaluation must begin again — this time with the urgency of circulating disease pressing against every deliberation. With Gavi pledging fifty million dollars and mRNA technology offering the rare promise of cross-strain protection, humanity finds itself better armed
