Ebola medicine in short supply (blame Republicans)

Making Ebola medicine Zmapp takes time and the company has already distributed what it has. Government budget cuts may be partially to blame for the shortage.

Dear Gawd!!!

You know why Ebola is so damned scary?

The total amount of news and commentary that inordinately leads to hysteria.

I guarantee you that 95% of the cases being claimed as Ebola, in the USA, are really Staph infections.

Staph kills 18,000+ people each year and we aren’t alarmed about that???

Maybe because 50-90% of those contracting it worldwide die a gory death with blood, feces and vomit spewing forth from every orifice and there's no known cure?

Same ol crap from the left. Billions and billions in waste and fraud and just one penny from a budget and it’s doom and gloom and death and horror, etc.

What a bunch of losers.

What is scary is anyone that can afford it will hop a plane to the USA.

We will be a repository for all Ebola cases.

I am sure others have alluded to it in recent days, but here’s our October Surprise! Blame the Ebola outbreak in the US on Republicans. Never mind that the GOP had nothing to do with policies aimed at allowing other to come into the US with any kind of disease. The low information voters have a short memory, and all they know right now is Ebola is the fault of the Republicans. Good luck convincing them otherwise.

So the only thing we can do is take care ourselves....otherwise we have no way to stop this but let them do or not what they need to to stop it.

It’s not like the Gov. agencies aren’t hearing the outcry....

At least there will be enough for the EXEMPT Congress
and their staff and families. They cared so much
for Americans .... that they did NOTHING (again).

It's True- it's because of the "massive budget cuts"
I heard it on CNN last night.

That experimental treatment, ZMapp, is not available. They might as well go to any first world country for treatment, but they’re not blinkered by racial PC ideology to such an extent as to allow the ebola exposed to enter their countries. We are.

had a friend, at 96, contract Vancomycin resistant MRSA.

Two rounds of pic line treatment and a round of orals.

She had the nerve to live another 5 years!!!

Oh, and Ebola is not a certain death sentence.

BTW, one more thing:
We don’t have a cure for the flu, influenza, etc and humanity is not dropping dead faster than the birth rate..

They know our doors are wide open.

Obama has ensured the world knows that.

Right now, we’ve got a 100% cure rate in the United States. If that keeps up, Obama will be forced to ban West Africans from entering the country, looking for a cure.

What I find amazing is this..Zmapp is an EXPERIMENTAL drug.

People are crying about how it was only given to white folks ONLY BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO HELP, but no one really knew if it would or it wouldn't.

Let's say for a moment, it was first given to some Liberians. You know for sure that Jesse Jackson and Louis Farakahn would be screaming from the rooftops about how we're using black people as GUNIEA PIGS.

Government budget cuts may be partially to blame for the shortage.

Partially and may be? Didn't Obama close down enough parks to pay for more medicine? Nobody in the media would ever blame his screwed up priorities.

You start to sweat blood...and are dripping with crud...

That’s Ebola.

Your fever runs high...and you puke pizza pie...

That’s Ebola.

That’s Ebola.
