His Christian missionary employer paid for the flight to the world’s best place to have his life saved, I’m happy he lived, and don’t see bringing him home for medical treatment as “dramatic” and “probably not necessary”.
You may want to look at some of those old, incredibly nasty threads, I hope those are over.
Well, his life was probably already saved before the flight. That was my point.
But at the time, I did not know that, and I was fully in favor of bringing him back to Emory, the risks be damned. And the more drama, the better.

I definitely remember those threads.
The obvious comeback to the naysayers was always that, as long as Ebola festers, it's only a matter of time until it enters the US on its own (i.e., not via a missionary being medevaced). And that's indeed what happened.
