But do you think it would work?

Don't know, however if I was ebola positive (early in the infection) I would want anti-viral treatment. It seems logical in this application.

And, I have not kept up with Fauci? Is there a political or medical reason he is not respected here?

He is a politician first and contra-indicated for pandemic control in the US.

And do the doctors in the US have to go through him when prescribing treatment. Then should the “relatives” of Duncan be blaming his for his death?

They don't have to go through him, but the FDA makes it very clear about off label prescribing. Secondly, I strongly believe Frieden and Fauci have a elemental responsibility to inform medical professionals of potential disease treatment options. Fauci was informed.

Or, do you think they wanted him to die to keep the white-survivors/ dead -African black man tension up? ( I keep an eye on CNN and that is their angle; he did not get the treatment he needed because he is poor and black.)

I just love the latest racial meme. I think Duncan was too late to the anti-viral party. If he had been honest about his direct ebola exposure, he may be alive and in jail today.
