Unlike HIV, the Ebola virus is real and has been micrographed with an electron microscope. It is real.
What is a virus?
It is a submicroscopic injection syringe that is designed to contain a strand of either DNA or RNA that is forcibly injected into a host cell whenever a specific site is found on the cell surface. There sites are specific injection ports. An example is the T4 port that is present in certain WBCs, referred to ad T-4 Cells. Each species of virus will only attach to certain specific ports on the cell membrane.
The virus is close to a spring loaded device so that when the specific port is contacted, the virus attaches to specific points around the port and once the virus is attached, the mechanism changes shape and as a result, injects the RNA / DNA that it contains.
