For anyone else, "Don't try this at home..."
Fool.
WHAT!!!!!!!!! Contagious Maybe? nah don’t worry about it.
That would be the late Dr. Walter Reed.
Is it too late to take out a life insurance policy on this guy (with me as the beneficiary)?
Sheesh. What's a large risk?
The article says he did it as part of a vaccine trial. He actually got another virus engineered with a couple of Ebola genes. The idea is this might stimulate antibodies that would attack the Ebola virus itself. It doesn’t sound very high risk to the guy.
No doubt a democrap.

So it sounds like he was not actually injected with the Ebola virus. Headline writers strike again.
One of the reasons for the outbreak of ebola in Africa was lax quarantine procedures.

When he gets symptomatic, maybe he’ll go on a tour of DC!
(after this past Tuesday, he could also do some good by spending a lot of time in Fairfax County)
“It’s a bold strategy, Cotton! Let’s see if it pays off!”
So does this "count" as another case of ebola in America or is it like "terrorism" and only "officially recognized events" count???
One can only wonder why they don’t test the Reston strain of Ebola as a vaccine. When 6000 monkeys in Reston Virginia all died from Ebola and none of the monkey handlers did, but the handlers were all found to have Ebola antibodies in their blood, it should have told someone that the Reston strain might be a good candidate for a similarity immunization.
This is how the small pox vaccination worked. They give you a case of Cow Pox, which is not fatal and since the small pox vaccine is related, you are immune to small pox.
Why on earth isn't he in a controlled environment instead of his appartment?
This means there are 20 people in the Alexandria area that have been injected with Ebola and aren't sufficiently quarantined. They will be traveling to and from doctor's appointments. This is ridiculous!!!!
Ebola vaccine trials fast-tracked by international consortium
“The NIAID/GSK Ebola vaccine candidate is based on an attenuated strain of chimpanzee cold virus, called chimp adenovirus type 3 (ChAd3). The adenovirus is used as a carrier, or vector, to deliver benign genetic material derived from the Ebola virus Zaire species that has caused the current Ebola outbreak in west Africa. The genetic material contained in the investigational vaccine cannot cause a vaccinated individual to become infected with Ebola. The vaccine candidate delivers the Ebola genetic material to human cells but does not replicate further. Rather, it allows the vaccine recipient’s cells to express a protein, and that protein prompts an immune response in the individual.”
