You don’t develop and release a weaponised disease until you have an effective antidote in enough quantities for the . . . uuuhhh . . . “politically Correct” first.

If Ebola infects the US population, I am certain that these libs will be among the first to get it and suffer the most casualties. A lot of them are unhealthy due to:

STDS from their ‘free love’ lifestyles
Bad diets based on bad nutrition
Compromised immune systems (gay/AIDS)

They won’t be able to survive in chaos and chances are that they’ll be among the first to be targeted by the crazies because of their high profile, wealth, and wealthy high profile people are the first to get attacked. Chances are their own family won’t help since some don’t have large families or are on bad relations with them because of their snotty attitudes towards ‘lesser’ folk.

The elites will have hit the eject button long before it gets to that point. They’ll be sipping drinks with umbrellas on a beach somewhere secure with their vial of ‘cure’ or ‘antidote’.

Doubt it; these elites will be the first target of irate mobs.

The Duke of Orleans helped nurture and launch the French Revolution, even voting for the death of his own cousin Louis XVI. Ironically, he was guillotined later on. A lot if people think they are ‘safe,’ but are in fact, not.

IF this breaks out and spreads, Obama won’t be able to escape the staff in the White House, much less flee the country.

At such a tipping point, this means that even being President won’t protect him from public wrath.

For the time being, hubby and I are done with Samaritan’s purse for allowing this.

D.
O.
N.
E.

We have given money and done shoeboxes for their Christmas giveaway.

They’ll just have to get that from someone else.

This is unforgiveable.

You know that’s interesting you would say that. Are you aware that Christians (I’m assuming you are one based on your support of Samaritan’s purse) have been involved very much in the care of the ill and dying, including lepers, bubonic plague and AIDs. The Samaritan turned aside to help a man who had been passed by by others.

Christians don’t DELIBERATELY risk someone ELSES life.

They risk their OWN.

I can’t believe Kent Brantley would knowingly risk an outbreak in CONUS for any reason at all.

Samaritans don’t spread disease knowingly.

Except this bunch apparently.

If it gets away from them I hope they are held legally and financially responsible for any and all damages to anyone harmed by this stunt.

And I grew up in Africa so I know what the state of Africans and their medical care is all about.

Kent was doing God’s work there.

Risking everyone in this country so he can die on his own soil isn’t benefitting anyone. He is/was a big boy and knew the risks. He should be allowed to live with them and die accordingly if it be God’s will.

That’s a low blow and you know fully well BA objects to their foolish decision (putting other people at risk), not care of the ill and dying in general by charities.

I’m sincere in my wish that they be held legally and personally accountable.

Emory medical faculty.

Samaritan’s purse.

Kent’s family if they’ve been involved in this decision.

No kidding.

If this gets away from them the downside for Samaritan’s purse and the work they do will be MASSIVE. There IS no upside. None.

At the very least it looks like a selfish decision by a weak wife compounded by self serving faculty at Emory who have a level 4 facility they’ve been dying to use.

Well...they still have to have people to program the robots and they better know something about the manufacturing of a particular product before they program the robot.

If they got what they wanted they would be in the dark ages again. lol

It’s a goal for them. Pretty sure they’re not totally there. Yet.

But it IS their goal.

They want just enough peasants alive to keep the robots running efficiently. No more.

Like that episode of SG1 where the early industrial age planet mysteriously came down with a deadly flu virus and just as things got really bad an alien species showed up with a vaccine that cured/prevented. Only the vaccine made the recipients sterile. So the alien species colonized the new planet without having to fire a shot.

AMEN!

I’ve objected to money to Africa even as a teenager and I’m tired of American kids being deprived just because our politicos like to show off. This is not right. Let them set up facilities in Africa, but NOT come here.

At first blush, it seems completely senseless to bring the patients here . . . but my guess is that they anticipate more cases here in the U.S. sooner or later, so the doctors want to get hold of a couple and basically experiment with them, to see if there’s any way to improve patient outcomes when they’re in a First World setting, rather than Third World.

I just hope all the caregivers move into a dorm together and STAY THERE instead of going home every night....
