Are you talking about using an antiobiotic against ebola? Wouldn't work. Ebola is a virus, and antibiotics are completely ineffective against viruses.

No antibiotics, But flamethrowers would probably work. Call it the andromeda solution.

Ebola = virus. Antibiotics to not treat/prevent viral diseases.
