The problem is that people in the US are so anti-government that they'd claim it was some mass conspiracy instead of an effort to protect them

Canada Will Send Experimental Vaccine to WHO

OTTAWA, Ontario — The Canadian government said it will start shipping its experimental Ebola vaccine to the World Health Organization on Monday for possible use in the West African countries hardest hit by the outbreak.

The WHO will consult with its partners, including health authorities from the affected countries, to determine how best to distribute and use the vaccine, taking into consideration concerns about using an experimental vaccine on people.
Human testing of the Canadian-made vaccine began last week in the U.S. Twenty vials of the vaccine were sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland for testing on about 40 healthy volunteers, Canada’s Health Minister Rona Ambrose said last Monday.

In a full-page letter published in Sunday's Dallas Morning News, Barclay Berdan, the CEO of the company that owns Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, said the hospital was "deeply sorry" for missing the ebola diagnosis of Thomas Eric Duncan.

If you remember, Duncan came into the hospital on Sept. 28 with a fever and other symptoms consistent with Ebola. He told a nurse he had traveled to Africa, but the doctor somehow missed that vital piece of information.

"Although we had begun our Ebola preparedness activities, our training and education programs had not been fully deployed before the virus struck," Berdan wrote in the letter. "In short, despite our best intentions and skilled medical teams, we did not live up to the high standards that are the heart of our hospital's history, mission and commitment."

Berdan also addresses the fact that while his staff cared for Duncan, two nurses became infected with Ebola.

Berdan says the "theories and allegations" floating in the media "do not align with facts."


Nina Pham and Amber Vinson became infected, Berdan wrote, "despite their compliance with the protective equipment and safety procedures." According to Berdan: "We believe our procedures complied with the CDC Ebola guidelines and our staff implemented them diligently."


Berdan, however, wrote that they are still investigating what happened. The CDC had originally blamed a "breach" in protocol to explain the infection of a second nurse.

Translation: The CDC is LYING to the public.

This bytch just said she didn't want to go to an African shop to get her hair braided because she was afraid she might get Ebola. :facepalm:

The type of ignorance and fear this is creating is deplorable. Blacks have enough issues, we don't need to be shytted on at a global level and we certainly don't need to be more divisive than we already are.

Not sure if this has been posted but EVERYONE in this thread should watch this before making uninformed claims.

TLDR; The international healthcare community is in over their head. Additionally, there is NOTHING that suggest close quarter airborne transmission is not possible. This strain of Ebola going around is a whole different animal

Breaking news to me that hits close to home so to speak.
I have a family member that works for a major insurance company.
Two of their employees in a different office, not hers (she didn't specify the state) were on the plane with the nurse who traveled and one recently fell ill.
As a precaution, they're both having to work from home now and are not permitted to come in for 21 days.
The only way she and her coworkers nation wide found out was because they sent out an email to them this morning.

If your coworkers are cacs, they'll be miraculously healed :blessed:

If not......hope they have life insurance :mjpls:
