No, I wasn't. The article's contents are claiming an immunity (without the scientific proof might I add), and that doesn't match up with the title that they MAY have immunity. Again, where is the PROOF of immunity? Posting an article doesn't prove shyt. Try again.

"
In 2000, Dr. Leroy’s team studied 24 Gabonese who had tended victims without ever falling ill. Eleven had not just antibodies but remnants of virus and markers of inflammation in their blood — meaning they had clearly been infected but had defeated the virus on their own.
"


"But in 2010, Dr. Leroy led such a study in Gabon, a Central African country that had four Ebola outbreaks from 1994 to 2002.

His teams took 4,349 blood samples in 220 randomly selected villages. They found that 15 percent of Gabon’s population had antibodies. But it varied widely: near the coast, only 3 percent did; in some jungle villages near the Congo border, up to 34 percent did.
"


"Randal J. Schoepp, head of diagnostics at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in Fort Detrick, Md., who led a study of blood from patients in a Sierra Leone hospital who were originally thought to have Lassa fever but did not. Nearly 9 percent had Ebola antibodies — and the samples dated from as far back as 2006, proving that the virus circulated long before this year’s outbreak."

There's a difference between not showing symptoms as opposed to being 'immune' to a disease.

Let it spread. I'm Nigerian. I'm immune to Ebola's effects. I can only spread the virus.

Thank God it started in Texas. Couldn't think of a better state.

So because all of your bytch ass businesses have failed miserably and nobody gives a fukk about you, you wish death upon people all over the nation? That's a bytch ass mentality ya bytch. You just want all of your bytch ass problems to go away by wiping people out instead of fixing all the bytch ass aspects about you, your family, and any unfortunate man (or maybe a woman when you were confused) who gave you pity sex...at least we know that none of your bytch ass seeds will ever populate the earth, so that does all of our hearts good. bytch.

bad news:
There was a protocol BREACH wrt the Ebola virus containment at Duncan's TX hospital. The nurse may not be the only infected staff. CNN was a little slow with that update. UK daily mail can't emphasize the word "breach" enough. I'm sure we'll all be fine. *shrug*

good news:

Maybe perhaps Zmapp can be made faster by Ibio Inc.'s technology.

Takes a strong man to admit when they are wrong.

You have a talent for creating post apocalyptic narratives, instead of being an Israelite, ever thought of being a fiction writer?

So with your logic, anyone that's ever had a flu vaccine should never get the flu again correct?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:mindblown:

THE NUMBER OF CASES HAS RISEN TO TWO?:ohmy:

TWO? TWO OUT OF 300 MILLION?:sadbron:














:comeon:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Tom Frieden said Sunday the agency is "deeply concerned" by the second U.S. Ebola case. At a news conference that began at 11 a.m. ET, Frieden said it's possible we'll see more U.S. Ebola cases in the coming days.

A health care worker who cared for Liberian Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas has tested positive for the disease, hospital officials announced Sunday. Duncan died on Wednesday.

The CDC will conduct confirmatory tests on Sunday and share the results after the patient, who has not been identified, is notified, according to a CDC statement. If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the U.S.
