Original Note:
This is not true. Laurie Garrett is confusing Marburg with Lassa virus. https://twitter.com/R_H_Ebright/status/1640172862307794945 The Marburg virus was named after Marburg, Germany where there was an outbreak that resulted from infected grivet monkeys in a lab. https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/marburg/index.html https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/marburg-virus-disease
