In the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has returned once more to test the limits of human endurance and institutional resilience, health authorities have begun vaccinating the frontline workers who stand closest to the fire. This campaign — targeting nurses, doctors, and support staff in the outbreak's epicenter — reflects a hard-won understanding that no disease can be contained if the people fighting it are consumed by it first. It is, at its core, an act of preservation: shielding the healers so that healing itself remains possible.
