Good point. Political correctness does not correlate with scientific necessities when dealing with serious infectious diseases. Why for instance has Obama, despite his vaunted pen and phone, continued to allow commercial flights in and out of endemic areas of West Africa?

Why not complete the plan with the U.S., not only being completely flooded by the 3rd world, but with their vile diseases to match...

Only then will people feel the pain...Plus it provides government more power to control movement, travel, and the need to monitor and control everyone and everything.

Hopefully you will allow our American doctors and military people and other Americans to come home for medical treatment.

You're catching on. The goal is total surrender to the government. "Save us! Help us!"

Just you wait!

It wasn’t dumb and it isn’t dangerous, do you really think that Ebola is going to come here through this Ebola doctor being treated at our Ebola center, is that how you think Ebola will find it’s way into America?

Having an Ebola doctor as their first patient seems to be about as good as it can get for our first domestic, hands on experience.

This ebola doctor was treating ebola patients, and he is supposed to know how to do that safely.

How did he catch it ?

Hopefully you will allow them to be treated overseas and cured and quarantined before allowing them to come home.

Ya, we need more experience with Ebola.

In fact if this doctor will help the situation, just think of how much good it will do if we bring hundreds more in and then spread them out so other hospitals can feel the experience too!

Brilliant!

“Compositions are provided that are operable as immunogens to elicit an immune response or protection from EboBun challenge in a subject such as a primate. Inventive methods are directed to detection and treatment of EboBun infection.”

They have isolated various molecules and proteins of a strain of the Ebola virus in an effort to detect and treat it. It’s the first step for new development in any new vaccine. I see no reason for the paranoia folks are spreading about this patent. People see “patent on Ebola virus” and freak out because they don’t understand how medical and pharmaceutical R&D works.

You can’t be that clueless, almost anyone can see the benefit of our Ebola people and unit, having a fellow doctor that has been treating Ebola in Africa, as their first patient.

It is vastly superior to some non English speaking peasant that shows up in Tucson.

In 1995 Congolese doctors saved 7 of 8 patients by giving all 8, blood from Ebola survivors.

This doctor received blood donated from one of his surviving patients.
