Quote:Why do you keep insisting on equating not bringing patients back here to not doing anything ever again with studying Ebola? Do you think it makes your argument sound better if you throw silly statements in the mix? No one in this thread has even remotely said anything about not continuing research on the disease, yet you keep throwing it out there like they have.


Don't you think it would be better to go to the source of the problem and study the multitude of people and critters that have it? There is a reason why Ebola outbreaks don't randomly pop up in other parts of the world unless carried there by others. What makes that area the hot spot? Don't you think studying that might help in finding a vaccine or even a more effective treatment for the diesase?

 

I make the distinction because it seems so many are confusing the situation in Texas as being the same as the infected patients brought to Atlanta.

 

My point is that the best place to study the science of the disease itself - possible cures and vaccines, as well as treatment of infected patients in absence of any cure - is here, not in some field hospital in Africa. That does not preclude research elsewhere, that was me being hyperbolic, sorry, it means there is a valid reason for bringing infected patients here.
