Ebola is the result of bio-terrorism experiments gone wrong, according to a tenured professor at Delaware State University.

HandoutDr. Cyril Broderick, of Delaware State University.

In an article published in a major Liberian newspaper, The Daily Observer, the Liberian-born Cyril Broderick claims the epidemic is the result of work done by the U.S. Department of Defence, among others.

His remarks can only make the task of those fighting to control the outbreak harder, as they feed into the superstition and misinformation circulating about Ebola and how it is spread.

While some readers commenting on the article were critical, the number who praised it was telling.

"They are using" Ebola, wrote one, "for culling the world population mainly Africa for the … purpose of gaining control of the Africans resources criminally."

The piece purports to describe scientific findings from various "reports," which are not cited in detail, and even references the bestselling thriller, The Hot Zone.

"Reports narrate stories of the US Department of Defence (DoD) funding Ebola trials on humans, trials which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone," wrote Prof. Broderick.

Under the headline, "Ebola, AIDS Manufactured by Western Pharmaceuticals, US DoD?" he claims, "the U.S., Canada, France, and the U.K. are all implicated in the detestable and devilish deeds that these Ebola tests are. There is a need to pursue criminal and civil redress for damages."

The article suggests groups trying to stop the epidemic — Centres for Disease Control, the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders — are all somehow in on it. The piece puts them on a list of those "implicated in selecting and enticing African countries to participate in the testing events."

Prof. Broderick defended his article in a brief interview with The Washington Post.

"There are many references to what was contained in my letter," he said. "You may read the letter and double-check the sources listed. They are available and legitimate."

But are they? Prof. Broderick drew on research published in several conspiracy websites, including Global Research and Liberty Beacon. He discussed a 1996 book,Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola — Nature, Accident or Intentional? by Leonard Horowitz, who called himself a "humanitarian, clinician, prophet, scholar and natural healer."
