Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa raised ethical issues about structural disadvantage; the duty to care of healthcare workers; the use and study of unregistered agents; the use of restrictive measures like mass quarantine and the importance of public trust. SOURCES OF DATA: WHO reports, literature on EVD and ethics. AREAS OF AGREEMENT: The use of restrictive measures and the testing of unregistered agents is ethical if support for individuals or communities is provided. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY: Controversy exists over ethical trial design for the study of unregistered agents and over the limits of the duty to care. GROWING POINTS: The role of the WHO in outbreak control and research oversight needs rethinking and further support. Solidarity in global health needs fostering. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH: Research is needed on how to restore and enhance health systems and public trust in EVD-affected countries.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
