Bill, do you have a link to that information about the person with malaria? Isn't it interesting that all the major drug companies seem to have Ebola vaccines and antiviral drugs that have not been tested for lack of interest, and now that there is a threat to American soil, they are coming out of the woodwork with tests, vaccines and drugs all in the developmental phases but not tested because there wouldn't be enough profit in it? Are we so racist that so long as it was a problem of Black Africa it wasn't worth pursuing, but when it threatens to spread to White people, things are sped up to near-light speed to get things tested and approved? I am ashamed of my countrymen and women for not doing these tests earlier so that they could have vaccinated people in time to keep Ebola from spreading much beyond its first few cases. It is a dark mark on the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries to have been so callous and laissez-faire about managing the vaccines and drugs that have suddenly been ramped up in pursuit of the almighty dollar. That's the problem with profit-driven research. The problem with the biggest dollar sign on it get prioritized and all others are left behind.
