You're talking total fatalities, I'm talking fatality rate. If you get the Flu there's a 5% chance you die - with Ebola, it's like 60% or greater.
Which one is more dangerous? Which one would you rather have?

But the rate alone doesn’t matter. If you’re looking at what is most likely to kill you or your loved ones you (ie what is ACTUALLY endangering them, and what you should worry about) flu has got ebola beat hands down. The fact is you are probably going to get the flu multiple times in your life, you will almost certainly lose someone in your life to the flu (probably somebody with an already compromised immune system but it will happen). You will not catch ebola, no one you know will ever catch ebola, probably no one you know will ever know someone who caught ebola. This is what makes the flu by far the more dangerous.

Absolutely correct! Cunning and deceptive words of arrogant experts, constantly promoting their use of vaccines to a lazy thinking society. the fence about the illegal immigration invasion? Parents, keep your children close. To all those still in denial and believe that this is just coincidence, "Pull Your Head Out of the Sand!" This law breaking and deception must be stopped.
