The last of the research on this was in 2008. Who has been in control since 2008? What has happened to US qovernment spendinq since 2008?
This is the irony. The vast majority of academic researchers voted for Obama, and probably >90% of those who work at the CDC and other government institutions did. They all thought that Democrat = funding. Didn't work that way, but they still won't admit to themselves or anyone that the Democrats screwed research in the US. It was inevitable.
They had marked negative effects on the economy - thus leading to a decrease in overall money available for research (both private and public). They shoved their expensive and expansive health care law down our throats (everywhere there has been government takeover/control of health care, research suffers - for a variety of reasons). They politicized science (targeting money to politically correct areas). etc. etc.
But to this day, and tomorrow, and for the foreseeable future, the academic community will support them, and continue to characterize Republicans as anti-intellectual throwbacks.

Could it be that when Hussein needed money to fund his pet projects, he pulled it away from ebola and gave it to Solyndra?
I Think it is called "Obama's Stash."
Let me tell you what this goes. An organization has fronted this as a money-maker. In 2008....when you talked about Ebola, it was affecting hundreds per year, and it was a ZERO-profit deal for any drug company. A real company will tell you they need a drug to generate at least $100 million a year for sales to have general interest.
Well, they patiently waited. And now, they have a government that is going to pay hundreds of millions up front, to cover production. They may act like it’s all fresh research, but apparently, this story shows a lot of past research.
Now, here’s the stinker in this whole deal. African countries throughout the past decade....dealt with Ebola and had a 10-percent survivor rate. Think about that rate.
They did it with marginal doctor and nurse knowledge in Africa. They did without a lot of fever reduction drugs. They did it with marginal use of IVs. They did it with poor sanitary habits in their Ebola quarantine quarters. They did it with almost no high-tech liquid foods. And they did it with NO wonder drugs. Think about those rates and the variables.
So here we are....US with top notch medical knowledge, clean hospitals for the part, lots of fever reduction drugs, and various technology elements to utilize, and currently NO wonder drugs. I think we could easily reach 90-percent survivor rates without the wonder drugs. But if you had twenty-billion dollars....we could certainly arrange a bogus wonder drug and make you pay for it.
All elements of this mess....for you to sit and ponder about. Your government lies to you. The drug companies lie to you. The CDC lies to you. And you are left to wonder about who is lying the least, and who you might want to trust to some marginal degree. Such is our life today...as miserable as it sounds.
