I need to sound this out: If one's recovery is dependent on the compatible plasma from a survivor, then it's imperative that we have multiple survivors to ensure a defense against Ebola for all. Can that be right? Is that a reasonable assumption?

I feel like we're in a Dr. Moreau experiment.

I feel like everyone responsible for bringing this atrocity into our country needs to be shot, burned, tarred, feathered, drawn, quartered, shot some more, and then soundly chastised.

No. The plasma bit is much like a desperate last ditch attempt to do something or anything. The antibodies floating around in plasma after recovery although high compared to a few years from now, are insignificant to someone in the throws of the disease.

Normally, antibodies are circulating in sufficient numbers to kill off a small number of virons that you catch from another diseased person or the environment. Not the trillions of virons that are circulating when you are really sick.
