I don't think there is any way to control this virus with this sort of nonsense held as the prevalent theory. We aren't talking about rumors among rural tribes in July and August. We're talking about today in the urban areas.

Guinea residents ‘refusing’ Ebola treatment Monday 29th September , 2014 6:40 am
Residents of the Guinean capital Conakry, hit hard by Ebola, say they are afraid to seek treatment at hospitals for fear of being poisoned by doctors, as the death toll across West Africa passed the 3,000 mark.
Local resident Tairu Diallo said on Friday that people living in his neighbourhood refused to seek medical help and instead stayed at home, trying to alleviate their symptoms with drugs bought at a pharmacy.
Diallo said people think doctors at hospitals inject patients with a deadly poison.
“If we have a stomach ache we don’t go to hospital because doctors there will inject you and you will die,” he said.
Many Guineans say local and foreign healthcare workers are part of a conspiracy which either deliberately introduced the outbreak, or invented it as a means of luring Africans to clinics to harvest their blood and organs.
