Opinion: The world’s second-worst outbreak of Ebola is underway in Congo. Where is the concern?
By Ronald A. Klain Ronald A. Klain Contributing columnist focused on public policy, legal issues and political affairs Bio Follow Contributing columnist March 15 Ronald A. Klain, a Post contributing columnist, served as White House Ebola Response coordinator from 2014 to 2015.
Thus, it is no surprise that pressure for a massive U.S. response such as the one the Obama administration undertook in 2014 — a $6 billion emergency-aid package, more than 10,000 U.S. civilians at work in the region — has not been repeated. Such an effort has also seemed unnecessary to this point. A vaccine for Ebola, developed near the end of the 2014 outbreak, is now available. Through the work of the global vaccine alliance Gavi, nearly 90,000 Congolese have received it.
In sum, the Trump administration has taken the standard measures for buttressing a global health response effort. The problem is that the customary approach may not get the job done this time, just as it would not have in 2014.
