Polio impacted thousands per year. There was a NEED for a vaccine.
Ebola has never been an issue in the US.
Why would there be a big push for a cure.?
“Why would there be a big push for a cure.?”
Absolutely right. There is no money to be made where most Ebola outbreaks occur, so no need for the pharma coumpanies to push for one.
The way our pharmaceutical operates has nothing to do with ebola or any other diseases.
Their primary concern is creating and maintaining patents.They have zero interests in cures. Cures greatly reduce profit.
Treatment is where the cash is.
Now if the U.S. nurse would be smart she would claim she got Ebola when she was having an abortion, or it first presented when she took her ACA mandated birth control pills.
Then we would see all the Hollywood actors lining up to do commercials to cure this terrible disease. No money though, (they don't do the horrible “donate” thing).
O, Reggy, and a pet MOOSE while in a swamp in Kenya would even Tweet for a solution (#no-bleed-like-sweat-now)!
Then the mooose would bleed out and die a sad death on screen.
O and Reg could ride off on that tandem bike with their matching hats/bonnets.
Very moving, very compelling.
