I find it incredibly weird that some tend to include the Paramyxoviridae (Parainfluenza) family, genus henipavirus in the category of Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers, like yes Hendra henipavirus and Nipah henipavirus both are slightly more lethal than Ebolaviruses and Marburgviruses but if anyone is going to haemorrhage during Hendra Virus Disease (the film Contagion bases its virus on this one) it is going to be into the lungs, and the primary threat is fulminant encephalomeningitis or kidney failure, it isn't systemically haemorrhagic like the classical (Dengue, Yellow fever, mainly Flaviviridae) and severe (Ebola, Marburg, Lassa) VHFs.
