If you ask Google who discovered Ebola, you will immediately be presented with a picture of Dr. Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
You will also find links to news article after news article identifying Piot — the former executive director of UNAIDS — as the man who discovered the deadly virus.
Amazon’s blurb on Piot’s 2012 memoir, “No Time To Lose: A Life in Pursuit of Deadly Viruses,” even credits him with choosing Ebola’s name.
