Not only can you contract Ebola more easily, and even without the original carrier present - but Ebola kills you much quicker and in ways that you are more likely to spread the disease.

The only plus is if you survive ebola you are done with it.

aids was specific to behavior of homosexual men.

ebola ain’t like that.

aids doesn’t kill you in a week or two.

we didn’t fly known aids patients to other countries to have sesx with people there.

why we’re flying these people all over and then getting locals infected taing care of them, is insane.

protocols are impossible to follow 100%. all it takes is one time.

Ebola is primarily an African disease as well.

Very true. While there was some degree of panic in the beginning of the AIDs thing, you could positively eliminate the possibility of getting it via behavior. And let’s be clear, some people got AIDs via transfusion.

As I recall, there were also a whole bunch of people who got it from a dentist who didn't properly sterilize his tools.

The difference is critical. I lost a close friend to AIDS, and he was an innocent victim of contaminated blood products, but the overwhelming majority of those with AIDS got it doing things that normal, healthy, well-adjusted people don’t do. With Ebola, most people who get it were simply living in their neighborhood or working at a hospital. The only good part is that Ebola spreads slowly.

Would you quit wasting my time and just get to whatever goofy point that you are wanting to make?

Since the cause has been known for more than a decade, most of those “killed” today have used AIDS to achieve suicide.

About 1.6 million “suicides” a year from AIDs according to you.

My point is that when you read the words “according to the WHO” and “estimated” you should have thought something similar to when obama said “If you like your plan, you can keep it”

unless you are not yet able to spot political propaganda

No, you aren’t a better source, and if you wanted to do your conspiracy thing, you could have just said it right off instead of involving me in multiple posts and having me digging up links for you.

That is your problem, you wanted to “argue” about something, and here you are creating a long and hostile exchange over nothing.

You asked for a source for AIDs death statistics and I gave it to you, but as we see that isn’t really what you wanted, you want some long argument, about something, but who knows what, and why.

The title makes no sense. Aids was totally controllable. The people at risk kept slipping other male/female partners the tube steak so to propagate the disease. Aids spread due to lack of self control.

AIDs still kills about 1.2 million people a year in Africa, and that is way down from what it was, but Ebola could also be stopped if they could get Africans to follow simple instructions and safe practices.
