So let's take the (very) small sample as representative.
With the vaccine, two out of seven die.
That's a 28% fatality rate.
What does the vaccine do as far as someone's ability to shed live virus?
...keeping in mind that the fatality rate for the infamous 1918 influenza was around 5%...

The plutocrats don’t want the meek to inherit the earth.
From the article, it sounds like a no-brainer but then we are dealing with Obama. He’s supposed to be concerned about Africa but . . .
It’s in our enlightened self interest to take care of this if we can. The costs of Ebola coming here would be astronomic.
It seems like we might have our first Ebola patient ever in Australia this morning. I am really for quarantining until the outbreak is over - I feel sorry for the countries involved but no reason to bring it here - especially if we go into an unprecedented 4th wave - we are in previously uncharted territory already!
It would undo untold spending and opinion shaping to demonize tobacco growing in this country. Can’t have that.
the average amount of time in order to bring a new discovery molecule through all three or four FDA approval stages is 11 years and the average budget to do that is 1.1 billion dollars.
the problem is legal and regulatory not necessarily technical.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Health/life BUMP!
This morning I spoke with a very responsible & knowledgeable person closely involved with the fight against Ebola in West Africa.
400 died YESTERDAY.
