Obama Says It’s ‘Premature’ to Fast-Track Promising Ebola Drug, Share with Africa

who much = how much

[ansel12]

You have no idea who much anti-Ebola serum has already been made. You haven’t a clue how long it takes to make more. So you are blowing mindless smoke. Get me those two answers, & we’ll talk.

LOL, which means I don't want to give what we have to Africa, you do.

To be calling for giving our unknown numbers of doses to Africa right now is insane.

[DoodleDawg]

Even if they did fast track it, how would the African countries pay for it? Oh wait...

[DoodleDawg]

We get 10% of our oil from Nigeria I read somewhere.

No, they're less than 3% of our imports. Which means they provide something like 1% of our total supply.

[VRWCmember]

if it were an abortion pill he would fast-track it just like slick willie did.

[Black Agnes]

That’s good to know.

Now that we’ve basically told them to sod off.

[right way right]

He must extract what he needs out this “crises” first.

[Fantasywriter]

Your simplistic, factually challenged accusations do you no credit. In your mind, there must be something like 2 or 3 more doses, and no way to make more. So you want to hoard them. Fine.

You also believe, evidently, that under those circumstances I would advocate sending all 2 or 3 doses to Africa. An assumption that idiotic should never be addressed. It will only make two people look stupid, as opposed to one.

In the real world, things are not always so simplistic. But if you can’t figure that out for yourself, there is no use discussing it. If I had all the time in the world—which I don’t—I’d still find thousands of better uses for it than that.

What he is trying to do is stop the possibility of creating Zombies. This drug will cure most people but the residual few will, after a time, die but become the undead. Obama recognizes this very real possibility (it has been clearly demonstrated in movies) and does not want to participate in their creation. He is rightfully so worried about his legacy and does not want to be known as the Zombie President.

No blame is or can be positively assigned to non-action,
but blame can be attributed to any action resulting in harm or death.

That’s why lifesaving drugs take so long to get approved.
No one can directly blame the FDA for holding a drug back,
but if they let one out that kills .00001% of the recipients,
there is direct attribution.

The sociopath speaks. African deaths don’t touch him. Doesn’t matter if they are mere children or if the death is painful. Ditto any other deaths that don’t touch him directly. He is without empathy. He thinks only of himself. If the case were made to him that he could be seen as a hero, & this would be a critical part of his legacy, he might allow it. But only because he saw self-benefit. Other than that, he is content to play ‘god’ & allow people he has no personal feeling for to die like plague rats.

He is correct about this, now is no time to be shipping whatever doses we have, to Africa.

You are wrong.

[dirtymac]

Well, they have to do something! AIDs has not been very successful and they have tried everything else.(sarc)

[Fantasywriter]

It all depends on how much serum has already been manufactured and how long it takes to make more.

[angry elephant]

Yes, Aids, malaria and abortion have not done the trick for them to downsize the population. Oh, but we have the TB coming into this country now, so we can add that to the earth cleansing.

[ansel12]

Now you are sounding more sane.

Post 17 was really a mistake.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Prevention?
More like Population Control.

I only wrote in this most recent post what I’ve written in several prior posts—all of which you derided. Be nice if you could make up your mind.

Oh, & since you are so sure Obama is “right”, let me ask you this. Did he say, ‘We are ramping our production up to full capacity, and as soon as we safely can we will share out anti-Ebola serum with Africa’?

Because the above is what a person who cares would say & do. Not so a sociopath. A sociopath does not care. Therefore he does not do everything possible to help in an epidemic. So long as he is safe, He Does Not Care.

You are totally wrong, and the president is right on this, but you seem to be catching on in your later posts, as you back off your incredibly stupid post.

[Fantasywriter]

What exactly is your problem? Is English your second or, more likely, third or fourth language? You didn’t understand my first post and you haven’t understood any of my subsequent posts. It’s staggering.

Also, a waste of time. Either you are incredibly dense or willfully missing the point. Both are a waste of time.

Now, since you believe the following:

‘the president is right on this’

answer this question. Did Obama specifically say he was requesting that the manufacture of the anti-Ebola serum be ramped up to maximum capacity? Did he say he was taking this action precisely so that, ASAP, we could share this experimental drug with those hardest hit by the epidemic?

Did he or didn’t he?

& stop dodging the question. You are convinced Obama is right. Stop tap dancing away from a simple question, then, and demonstrate Obama’s ‘rightness’ by answering it.

The president isn't wrong to not send our serum stock to Africa, he is right on this.

Your wanting to ship our supplies of this experimental serum to Africa, is just plain stupid.
