It is not hugely infectious, not like influenza for example, it does not spread easily and if the nations where it had first took hold had decent infrastructure, it would have been easily contained. There is no real question about that.

He is not personally responsible for the political problems in Africa but as a very prominent figure constantly bleating about the continent, he absolutely IS responsible for the attitudes that he is helping to spread. Attitudes that contribute to those political problems.

If he is not responsible then he is nothing more than a bull in a china shop. Which is probably pretty accurate. I'm sure he has no idea that his vanity projects also cause harm. I don't suppose he particularly cares.
